In the Loop

Wow, can you believe holiday shopping is approaching so soon?  Well, we've been preparing for the holiday season since early May...yes, you heard right...more than six months before Santa wiggles down the chimney we are building inventory, creating new products, adding vendors, and streamlining our shipping/receiving processes.

Here is what this means for you:

We guarantee that orders placed on or before Thursday, December 15th, 2011 will arrive before Christmas Day.

Most of our inventory is in stock and ready to ship immediately.  In some cases we need to transfer between warehouses and it may take 3-4 days before we can ship your order.  In order to save on shipping costs (we pay all shipping, you pay none!), we will almost always ship the entire order one time.

We will notify you within 72 hours of placing your if an item is out of stock and unable to make it before Christmas.  It is a busy time of year, so if something sells out we may not be able to get it to you in time.  We will let you know, and you can tell us how to handle the order.

We have 95% of ChloeNoel in stock.  We have 100% of Zuca in stock and ready to ship immediately.  We have the largest and most affordable inventory of ChloeNoel and Zuca.  You can shop with confidence.

Those of you who have been around know that we run some excellent specials during this time of year.  Keep an eye out in your Facebook Account, Twitter Account, and Email Account for these exclusive deals.  If you haven't signed up for the list I highly suggest you do so right now:

We will keep you updated as often as possible right here on the blog.

CherryLoop.com is now an official reseller of Harlick Skating Boots!

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!

Why Ian Lurie should review CherryLoop.com

If flattery and bribery are against the rules, please “delete” this comment so we can rewrite our post.

Well, when CherryLoop.com was just a twinkle in our eye we purchased a copy of “Web Marketing, All-in One, for Dummies.

Were we Desperate? Well, yes. 

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.

So, pick us!

Travis and Robin

*******************************

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.
