BEND, OR--(Marketwire - June 3, 2009) - Trunk Club (
www.trunkclub.com) today announced the
official launch of the first and only virtual shopping service for men,
conducted via webcam from the comfort of the home or office. Trunk Club
offers the convenience of e-commerce with the confidence of traditional
retail shopping, utilizing the power of the Internet to bring the benefits
of boutique shopping to the masses.
Trunk Club puts a unique spin on shopping, offering live fashion experts to
help determine any man's clothing needs. Upon signing up for the service,
Trunk Club members receive interactive advice from an assigned fashion
maven to guide them through the shopping process, eliminating the hassle
and stress of a traditional shopping experience. An expert will then send
out a variety of hand-picked items based on personal preferences such as
personality, profession, budget and lifestyle.
Trunk Club is a 100% free service with no shipping costs for delivery or
returns on merchandise. You pay only for what you keep.
"Working as a personal image consultant, I found that many men were too
busy to enjoy shopping -- but they still wanted to look and feel good in
their clothing," says Joanna Van Vleck, CEO of Trunk Club. "I created Trunk
Club as a way to give the savvy man a truly hassle-free, personalized and
customized shopping experience that would not interfere with their busy
schedules."
Major and Independent Retail Support
Trunk Club has relationships with hundreds of established retail brands and
independent designers so every style and personality can be represented --
it's not about trends, it's about what is right for the members. Trunk
Club customers are guaranteed retail price for all name brand clothing and
accessory purchases, with no hidden membership expense or
minimum-purchasing amount required.
Trunk Club currently has relationships with, but not limited to, retail
brands such as: 7 for all Mankind, Armani, Ben Sherman, Bonobos, Canterbury
of New Zealand, Corbin, Hugo Boss, Ike Behar, Joe's Jeans, Nat Nast,
Original Penguin, RVCA and John Varvatos.
Personalized Service - Fashion Experts
Trunk Club is based on relationship building by creating a personal,
professional, one-on-one shopping experience for all customers, and has
experts based across the country to help serve any fashion need. After
signing up, members are assigned to one Trunk Club expert, who guides them
through the entire shopping process. Experts will meet with customers as
often as needed via web cam to answer questions, help determine if clothes
fit correctly and give general fashion advice.
