Sample sales are picking up press! RueLaLa, Gilt Groupe, ideeli and Comcast’s Swirl were just featured by the LA Times in the article Available now, gone in a flash Booth Moore expounds on this increasingly popular e-commerce niche that are flash sales, and highly desirable discounted fashions really are gone in a flash, but with all this media attention we’ll have to make our purchases even faster!
“Private sample sales generated $1 billion last year, a relatively small piece of the $155-billion e-commerce pie. But the category is thriving, with more than $100 million in venture capital flooding into the space in the last six months alone and sites continuing to launch as recently as this year.”
We just mentioned two new sample sale sites just yesterday and with more on the way you can be sure to find invites here! Visit our directory of sample sale websites for invites and our daily sample sale posts for sale updates!
