When I put away my purchases yesterday I noticed that there were no bounceback coupons in my bag, not even the SAS coupons that were being handed out but luckily I did get another survey to add to my 100+ pile and I preceded to get the code....the long version of the survey this time.
I had written my blog postings and before I called it a night someone had left me a comment regarding the current 50% off items and the summer chill and summer lovin items. I had heard from two different people in store that the current items on sale now will go to 75% off when SAS starts. Whether or not its true....I can only mention what I have heard so I can add it to my list of things I may want, and others can too. Stores do vary on what is on sale and when...and yes I do understand that paperwork is paperwork....But I have been around this stuff long enough to know that even seeing it with a 50% off sign above it does not mean it will ring 50% off.
And as far as the store level not hearing anything about summer lovin"... either it never existed, will not be a line....the company decided to pull it back....or they are keeping store level out of that loop. I don't know for sure.....it wasn't my information originally.
So that being said, I truly appreciate the heads up and please feel free to offer any other tips or things I may have missed.
Now regarding the Summer Lovin' - Summer Chill things that are suppose to be coming out. If you are a reader of the bloggers of all things B&BW you would have noticed in March it was mentioned that there were going to be two summertime scents coming. It was nothing I had heard about, and according to 4 store managers I had spoken with, it is also something B&BW has been keeping their store level staff in the dark about.
And a month later it was posted what summer items were coming when, and some of the scent notes. Now you must assume two things. First, these notes didn't just make themselves up....and I don't think the poster made them up so they are legit. And second, someone high enough up in a company emailed her those notes so again.....they should be correct.
I don't make up the news, I just report it.
When I went into the store yesterday, I mentioned the Summer Lovin' - Summer Chill to the manager there and she said she didn't hear anything signature scented regarding those names....but confirmed what her next floorset was called.
Earlier this morning, a new bounceback picture was emailed to the blogger and it was posted on the blog so we can hopefully assume that the Summer Chill will be hitting stores in July. As for Summer Lovin'... we will have to wait I suppose. SAS is now just 9 days away.....
