Craigspass, a modern approach to couponing

Have you heard of Craigspass? Started by a Toronto company, it is like real time couponing.

So the idea is you join Craigspass and you will be notified with your mobile device or computer of sales, contests and exclusive offers within your area or even where you are right now!

After joining search for your favourite stores click “follow” to stay updated on their latest offers.

If a store is offering something you would like to share with your friends click “want” and they will learn of the great deal too.

To receive the offer no need for clipping coupons or using vouchers just walk into the store and show them your phone. Tada you just saved money!

Craigspass will never let you miss a great deal.  Out and about on a Saturday, take your phone and on your travels learn of what sales are happening around you.

I think the service sounds pretty cool but the company’s success is really dependent on both consumers and shop-owners.  Shop-owners really have to stay current and use the service (Which by the way doesn’t cost them anything unless someone actually redeems the special so why wouldn’t stores sign-up?)  And the job of the consumer is just shop and share.

I personally haven’t used it yet BUT it is on my todo list.  How did I learn about this service?  SexyPlus Clothing.  Stefanie is always embracing new technology and looking for new ways to stay in touch and keep her customers informed of what is happening at her store.

In case you were wondering, she does have an exclusive contest happening right now.  Click “want” on her contest and have a chance to win an iPhone 4 from Craigspass.  They have partnered to get the Craigspass word out.  The contest needs 400 “wants” by July 8th to activate.  If they hit 400 “wants” your name is entered into the draw.  I definitely WANT that!

While on the subject of SexyPlus Clothing, if you are in the city (Toronto) Saturday Stefanie is celebrating being 3 months Yonge with a  BOGO Sale (Buy one get one half off), a Sidewalk Fashion Show and a chance to win $100 SexyPlus gift certificate.  A party, shopping and saving all at the same time… sweet! 

New Plus Size Store Opening in Toronto!

I could get used to this!  Another new retail store that caters to plus size woman is opening in Toronto.

You may be familiar with SexyPlus Clothing already, Stefanie has had been selling her clothing online for awhile now and had a few pieces in Maximum Woman. She is now growing her business and is opening an adorable retail shop at 901 Yonge St, Toronto ON (just 4 blocks north of Bloor).

The official Grand Opening is Saturday April 9th, 2011, which you won’t want to miss. There is a $500 Shopping Spree to be won, big savings on New Arrivals and fun events throughout the day.

When I say fun I mean fun, Stefanie and her friend Nina have been documenting the entire store renovation/opening process on YouTube. This latest video cracks me up and really gives you an insight to how fun it will be to shop at the store.

Just alittle info, SexyPlus Clothing will feature fashions and lingerie for sizes 12+. A lot of the clothing lines Stefanie carries are exclusive to her; you won’t find anything like them in the city. The styles she offers range from urban club wear to uniquely feminine with the Pretty Woman line. Her new arrivals include a funky new denim line, sexy summer florals and even a reversible trench coat that is zebra print and hot pink – I have my eye on that!

SexyPlus Clothing will continue to be available online for those of you who can’t make it to her retail location. And for those of you in the US, she also ships to you.

I have gathered the girls together, Saturday we are going shopping at the SexyPlus Clothing Grand Opening and then grabbing lunch to chat about how great we will look in our new finds.

Hope you can make it, and if you do make sure you tell Stefanie, Sherri sent you!
