Me, Judith, Stephanie and our host of Hot Report writers, researchers and lifestyle forecasters have been reinventing the wheel for our readers. This is an exciting new season for all of us. We joined forces with a new web-designer who helped to take The HOT Report into 2011 (www.thehotreportonline.com) with more imagery, streamlined video and a shiny new sibling site, http://www.thehotshoppevintage.com. (Thank you John Z.! Oh what fun!) The HOT Report Online is not only reenergized with fresh new stories and captivating ideas for what’s now, new and next in home, travel, design and fashion, but just to keep you ahead of the curve, we will offer up to the minute trend and lifestyle changes from season to season. You can even follow us on Twitter and Facebook! Basically, if we know about it – you’ll know about it too!
The new Invitation Only site, The Hot Shoppe Vintage, is where you go to find what you can’t find anywear else? We welcome a very talented buying and public relations team here as well! What makes it truly exciting is you get early notice of our “Cinderella Sales!” Starting on Friday’s at noon, E.S.T., you get to purchase a selection of product from thehotshoppevintage.com at reduced prices, but only for 36 hours. The reduced price (or as we like to put it, Cinderella’s carriage) will turn at Midnight on Saturday! For those who just must have it -- you mavens can blissfully shop 24 hours a day/365 days a year. Our assortment is exceptional and well edited, and will constantly vary…you may want to bookmark in order to keep up! I think you get it!
With challenge comes change and no matter how difficult change may be, there is ultimately a promising result. We believe both website changes will better serve our readers and now, our new THSV customers. You may go to it now and begin to shop! Your feedback is always welcomed. Please share our news and products with others, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. The New Year will bring all sorts of new rules, new projects and undertakings, new bumps and bruises, exciting new events and ultimately new rewards. Embrace them all – we certainly will! Happy New Year! Happy New Beginnings!
