Their BIG reveal kind of thinking --- that we all know --- never happens. Nothing is ever a secret. As shown by the current Princesses Collab with watermarked photos that were posted EVERYWHERE before they released. (not from me) with products that still sit in the walls in stores. Maybe waiting for the Prince to come and save them? I kid.
Personally, I think they sit there because of the choices made of which products to offer, without offering NEW fragrances, and great pricing. After the first Princess Collection, people spoke to what they wanted to see come next. Did it fall on deaf ears? We got the Villains Collection next, and it was not what was asked for--again.
I mention this because of the numerous emails/texts I am getting over a post somewhere; I am not sure from where yet --- that stated "These are the upcoming Collaborations from Bath and Body Works" because whomever posted it, asked a chatbot.
As far as I know, with all of the Facebook group posts and Reddit postings of "what would you like to be the next collaboration?" and the discussion that ensues...the search is finding those mentions and they are being thought of as THE NEXT THING.
Could some of them BE that NEXT thing??? Unknown.
I do know of a few. The one that everyone knows now after Vera...and a few more. I didn't see them mentioned from Mr. Chatbots list.
This is not mentioned lightly. I know how some feel about these collaboration distractions to what is actually in the stores. Some LOVE them...and look forward to seeing what is next.
Some HATE them; find them to be too much of a distraction to core products and missed opportunities to bring back the scents that are ASKED FOR DAILY that are tucked away in labeled plastic tote bins at Home Office. I mean, pop open a tote on an oldie...NOT CUCUMBER MELON...Sniff, find the recipe card...make...SELL. Y'all let that Influencer visit and record his visit and now we know, You Have them. 😊
And lastly Some don't care either way if you bring us special things.
I have been buying and following this brand for a very long time, and my collections and purchases show as much. If you give me something I can use, I will buy it.
If you offer me Special things I will try them too. Price them reasonably and ask us about the want/need to know just how much product you may need. You didn't have enough Princess #1, Not much interest in Villains #1 because of the lack of all of the Villains, Too many items for Princess #2 with not many new fragrances.
I hear, you have an APP for such a test. 😋 (Yes, I am still snarky that I can't access it anymore with my older (and working phone).
My Thoughts on Vera:
-I like the brand, not everyone does
-You released the center front table of body care and a few accessories too early, before Mother's Day shopping began
-You didn't offer the PWP Bag then, and customers bought up the Body Care on subsequent sales at lower pricing and didn't want the bag with all of that body care in it today
-The pricing of $55 for the bag with a $40 purchase is high. I get it, there's a few forms in there with a candle but ($95 is a big price with old stock in stores to choose from, not many good sales today to help make the $40 necessary purchase.
- I buy the bags from that brand, and I know what they cost and even though the VB site is selling that bag for $95 without any extra purchases, it's too costly (grocery and oil prices currently)....for me even with a candle in it.
- Speaking of the candle, the SPECIAL bag candle should have been the one with the quilted look lid and complete wrap around label...not the secondary looking kind I think that was offered.
Whatever is offered next Collab-wise, I hope it is fully thought out with plenty to go around.
And if we are going to see a SUMMERWEEN 2.0, Halloween early, Christmas in July, awesome scents for Semi-Annual Sales, Fantastic Fall, and a Wonderful Winter Collection of Holiday Favorites.... you can tell me. 😜
