1. Those of you who have been with us for some time know that we hold a "post holiday" inventory/overstock sale. That sale will begin at Midnight tonight. Only current customers, members of our email list, and foreign heads of state will have access to the special deals. If you are not on the list...sign up here <<<<SIGN UP NOW>>>>
2. The extended deadline for exchanges/returns expired on January 23, 2012. Any exchanges/returns accepted after that date may incur a "restocking fee", or worse yet...we may send it back to you. However, our awesome and unbelievable return/exchange policy still remains. 30 days after receipt of your order you can send it back to us in new condition, with tags, unworn/unwashed, and we will refund or exchange your order free of charge!
3. Due to rising shipping fees, we will no longer be able to ship free to Alaska or Hawaii. Boo...it is just too difficult to ship to these areas. Sorry!
That just about does it for now. Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns! Email us at: info@cherryloop.com
Thanks again, and have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
It is finally here. If you are trying to find a good deal on figure skating apparel, accessories, and equipment...you came to the right place and the right time.

Some things to remember:
1. We encourage you to order early if you want items before

2011...BUT the closer it gets the less will be in stock and orders may
have to be changed.
2. Please don't try to apply discounts to previous orders, returns/exchanges, or orders placed after the deadline.
3. Read our blog for updates on Holiday Shopping: CherryLoop Blog - In The Loop 4. Stop reading the fine print and shop!
This post is intended to help all you last minute shoppers understand what is happening with your CherryLoop orders at this busy time of the year. Today (December 15, 2010) is the last day you can place an order if you expect it to arrive before Christmas (December 24th, 2010). Most orders placed today will ship on Monday, December 20th, 2010 via USPS Priority Mail.
There are some exceptions. We may sell out of a certain item, and then we will notify you with options. It will look something like this: Refund your purchase, wait for the item to arrive (probably after Christmas), or exchange for a different size or style.
We also may be able to get items ordered after today to you prior to Christmas depending on the products. We have a lot of items in stock at our Pro Shop and those will ship much faster. It is best to call us and discuss availability if you really want it before Christmas.
There were some styles that we have been waiting on to arrive for several weeks. The Chloe Noel spiral pants and the princess seam jackets. They are now available and will be shipping soon. I know a lot of you are waiting on these items, but we are working tirelessly to get these orders out to you.
Thank you for your interest in CherryLoop.com, we appreciate your business.
We would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year!
On September 25th, 2009 at 12:01 am we officially launched CherryLoop.com - Your online figure skating store. A lot has happened since that day. We've been to many figure skating competitions, events, and appearances. We made it through our first Holiday Season. We opened up a Pro Shop in April this year. We have been featured on some of the most prominent websites, blogs, and magazines. Our apparel and equipment has been worn by Olympic Skaters, National Medalists, and hundreds of up and comers in figure skating. We've added new vendors such as Brad Griffies, Harlick, Zuca, and many others.
We want to thank each and every one of our customers for your support. We are convinced that figure skaters, figure skating parents, coaches, judges, and leaders are the best customers in any sport or industry. We've come to know so many of you so well, that we feel you are much more than customers. Most of you have become friends and family. This is why we are so grateful for you. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this community.
We have learned a lot about the business, the sport, and ourselves in this year. Some things we've learned the hard way. Those of you that had to wait longer than expected for some items this summer know what we are talking about. The good news is, we are still going strong and we are completely committed to our customers. We are working hard right now to ensure that we are fully stocked for the holidays and are trying to head many problems off at the pass. There will be mistakes, there will be disappointments, but we can promise we will do everything in our power remedy any issues to your complete satisfaction.
Thank you all for making this a wonderful year, and here is to many more to come!
Well, I had to get this post up before midnight. We took the plunge. As of today, April 2nd, 2010 CherryLoop has a brand new store front! CherryLoop.com's sister came as much as a surprise to us as anyone. We realized how much business we were doing at our local rink, and we wanted to offer our neighbors the same great service we offer the online community. So, we rented some space at the Oiler's Ice Rink in Tulsa, OK, built out the space, and officially opened to the public today.
This offers us a place to do custom boot fittings for people in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Fayetteville, Little Rock, Wichita, and anyone else who happens to be close by. We now have a place to get immediate feedback from our customers on new merchandise, sizings, and other information that used to take weeks to compile. But what we really like is being so close to our customers. We'll get some valuable feedback which will in turn be passed on to our online friends.
If you happen to be in the area, please stop by...we're having a "Grand Opening" Sale tomorrow. 10% off everything in the store!
We'll post pictures of the new store, and you'll get the opportunity to hear about all of the changes as they progress right here at "In the Loop".
Thank you all for your continued support. We truly appreciate it!
You may have heard the buzz in the online skating world recently about the new store: MySkatingMall.com.

makes money from your purchases, you save money by buying gently used items at
a discounted rate, you can sell items that otherwise would have sat in your

Ryan
Jahnke, 2003 World Team Member and PSA Master Rated Coach, is the founder of
MySkatingMall.
I’ve spoken with Ryan several times over the last few months
regarding the MySkatingMall.com and
CherryLoop.com partnership.He is
extraordinarily passionate about skating, serving the community, and helping
every skater have the opportunity to succeed.He has been intimately tied to the figure skating community for more
than 24 years, so he knows the obstacles that must be overcome in order to
succeed in this sport.We are proud to
assist Ryan in this pursuit, and look forward a successful partnership.
Some you may know that CherryLoop.com was actually
considering a similar idea during the infancy of our business.Before we decided to launch CherryLoop.com,
one of our ideas was to have an auction site just for figure skaters.Obviously, we chose to open an online retail
store offering the most fashionable and functional figure skating apparel,
equipment, and accessories instead.We
also considered opening up our forum for our customers to have a “Craig’s List”
way of offering your old skates, dresses, and equipment for sale to other
customers.Weeks before we were going to
open it up, we received a call from Ryan regarding forming a partnership.We thought it was a wonderful idea, and we
are happy to offer our customers a way of buying and selling gently used figure
skating items, while at the same time donating a portion of the proceeds to the
clubs of the skater’s choice.
If anyone has any questions regarding MySkatingMall.com, feel free to
contact us and we’ll keep you updated on everything that we hear.We’ll also inform you of the official launch
date when that becomes available.You
can also learn more at the MySkatingMall.com
website:http://www.myskatingmall.com.
You heard right ladies and gentlemen.We are proud to announce that we will be
offering the famous Harlick skating boots both online and locally.We have gone through an extensive training
program and working closely with Harlick management we will have the
opportunity to custom fit you or your skater in the highest quality skating
boot on the market today.
If you are located locally in the Tulsa, OK area or close by
we’ll do a fitting for you at the rink, our showroom, or at a skating
competition.However, if you don’t live
in the area (which most of you don’t) we will still be able to walk (no pun
intended) you through the fitting process.It is relatively simple and with just a few measurements and a quick
discussion of your skating history we’ll be able to put you into a
professionally fitted custom or stock Harlick boot.
We would like to thank Harlick for all of the training and
expertise they have provided to date, and we look forward to working with them.
Please go to this link to fill out the contact form or call
us today to schedule your fitting!
This is a comment we wrote on Ian Lurie's website: Conversation Marketing, in order to win some much needed assistance with our Internet Marketing efforts. Ian is what some people would call an expert in the field of Internet Marketing, and we have employed many of his ideas, thoughts, and suggestions when building this site.
If flattery and bribery are against the rules, please “delete”
this comment so we can rewrite our post.
Are we cheap?Yes, we
even got $25.00 worth of free Google Adwords free with purchase.
Was the book Helpful?Of course it was.
Have we finished that 3 pound book?Are you kidding me?However, it did save my wife’s life once when
she heaved it at her assailant late one night.
The best thing that book did for us was introduce us to Ian
Lurie.We’ve been avid readers of Conversation Marketing, since
the day we bought the book.We eagerly
await updated posts, and sometimes dread the content because it reminds us of
all the work that needs to be done on the site.
The domain was registered on April 2, 2009.We officially launched CherryLoop.com – Your online
figure skating store – on September 25, 2009.Yes, she is brand spanking new.But from idea to a genuine revenue producing business in less than 6
months we feel we are doing pretty well.
The site needs so much work; we don’t even really know where
to begin.Quite frankly, we are still
uploading products to the online catalog.Title tags, meta data, copy writing, oh my!That is where Ian Lurie can really help us
out.We’ll be working on the site,
making changes large and small, and doing everything in our power to drive
traffic and sales…but it sure would be nice to have an “expert” give us some
sage advice on what we can do soon.It
would be nice if the advice also consisted of things we can do on the cheap!
All of that being said, we think the most important reason
why Ian should review CherryLoop.com is because we will send him chocolate
this month, chocolate
next month, and chocolate
the following month, in the mail as a not so subtle bribe.
We
wanted to let our loyal customers, fans, and followers know that the much
anticipated CherryLoop website is live
and open for business. CherryLoop
– Your online figure skating store – officially opened its internet “doors” on
Friday, September 25, 2009. However, not all of our products are on the
site yet, but we are working hard to get everything online.
Most
of you know us from the rink, an ice skating competition, or were referred to CherryLoop by a friend (that is a really
great friend), but now that the site is live everyone can enjoy the high
quality figure skating apparel, equipment, and accessories we have to offer.
For
those of you who are just getting to know us, we represent such designers as
Se_Ku, KP (Krista Prendergast), Chloe Noel, Figure Skatewear, and Heys Skate
Bags. We offer a wide variety of practice dresses, skate pants, jackets,
shirts, skirts, shorts, tights, spinners, soakers, bags, totes, blankets, and
much more. We are adding products to the online catalog daily and
building our inventory to meet all of your figure skating needs. So, if
you don’t see what you want (or absolutely must have) on the site we encourage
you to give us a call or drop us an email
and we may have what you are looking for (if not, we’ll order it for you).
Remember, CherryLoop always offers _free_
shipping in the United States (even Hawaii and Alaska).
We
are currently working on our loyalty program and would love to hear your
ideas. We truly believe we have the best customers in the world and we
won’t forget it. We want you to be happy with your shopping experience
with CherryLoop every time, and we will work hard to make that happen.
If
you know anyone who may be interested in figure skating apparel, equipment, or
accessories please feel free to forward this to them or refer them to our
website. Make sure they let us know who sent them, and we’ll do something
special for you.
We
will also be attending the Southwestern
Regional Championships as vendors, in Grapevine, TX – October 9-13.
If you are going to be in the area or are skating at the event, please stop by
and say hello. We’d love to see you again.
Thank
you for your continued interest in CherryLoop and good luck on the ice!
