Black Friday Through the Years at Wrapunzel

Tell us. What’s synonymous with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes with marshmallow? We know what you’re thinking – “It’s Thanksgiving, of course!” But there’s another answer….it’s Wrapunzel’s biggest sale of the year – and it’s got so many perks/goodies too – it’s Black Friday! It’s when we bring all of Wrapunzel’s products to you at a steep discount – and the more you buy, the more you get in terms of free goodies. Buy over one amount, get a free accessory (while supplies last), buy over a larger amount than that, get a free kit (while supplies last)! And for the first 100 orders, there’s even another special gift (while supplies last) – that you get for simply sitting by your computer and waiting to push the “ORDER NOW” button!

All of this excitement can be felt strongly at Wrapunzel Headquarters. We begin planning for the next Black Friday as soon as one finishes – with wrap-up meetings and such. After the sale, our Inventory Manager takes a close look at what sold well one year and begins amassing an order for the next year! During the sale, our Marketing Director surveys how sales progress through the entire weekend and is busy writing and scheduling up all those emails that you receive. Our Technical people are busy working on the site to make sure that all things ‘screen’ run smoothly, our Customer Service Representative answers all of your questions as they arise, and our Packing Ladies work their fingers into knots preparing your orders to ship out of our warehouse. We’re busy bees around here at this time of year!

Black Friday isn’t just so that you can finally purchase that certain scarf you’ve had your eye on for so long. It’s also a chance for you to shop for gifts for those near and dear. What do you mean your best friend Suzy doesn’t wrap her head!? Is it chilly where she lives at this time of year? Gift her a scarf to wear around her neck, adorned with a beautiful pin. Or a pair of earrings to fancy up her fashions. Suzy will love them!

We’ve got to mention this again – this is a sale like no other. And the freebies! This is a time for us to award you for being such Sweet, Loyal Wrapunzelistas! Yes, just for ordering a set amount after other discounts are taken (you’ll find out how much when we announce the sale specifications) you’ll get a gorgeous, Andrea-curated Black Friday Kit for free (while supplies last). Here are some examples of this kit from past years!

But lest we forget all of the Black Friday ‘behind the scenes!’ The following videos are not only informative , they also give a quick look into our daily lives at Wrapunzel Central. Have fun watching these glimpses into how we roll at Wrapunzel!

Over the years, we’ve had some fun (and stressful) Black Friday weekend times here at HQ, including our website getting attacked by an overseas robot and other not-so-fun glitches! Thank goodness our amazing community (you!) has always been super understanding when the technology hiccups. The last couple of years have been smooth sailing due to the amazing prep work by our team. Here’s hoping this year is better than ever! Sending you love and excitement, happy shopping!

Extra Oomph Waterfall Twist (and updates!)

I am loving this waterfall twist wrap that I recently did a tutorial on (see the tutorial here).  It is so easy and elegant!  And it’s easy to make it even more fancy by adding a thin scarf/sash to the wrap.  Check it out!

(Please note that these photos were taken post 15 hour bus trip and pre makeup, which is why I look a little more tired than usual 😛 )

Congratulations to Eliana for winning our Judith de Paris giveaway!  This was announced on Sunday on our facebook page.  Make sure you “like” this page in order to receive these updates!  This giveaway was so successful – 115 entries describing what the entrant is grateful for right now.  I high recommend reading them if you need a lift and smile!  Sooooo… what do you think, ladies?  Should we do more Wrapunzel giveaways?

On Sunday I gave a talk and demonstration at a hair wrapping extravaganza in the Young Israel of Philadelphia.  This was my first time speaking beyond the “hows” of covering and getting into the “whys”.  The event was very well put together; I had an inspiring time, was smiling all the way home and look forward to doing many more events like this in the future!  AND, I got to meet Judith of Judith de Paris in person!

Beginner’s Guide and Shopping Advice!

You asked, so here you go!

I have added a new page, called The Beginner’s Guide, with a video devoted specifically to beginners, and links to the most simple wraps on this site.  Check it out!  There is some good advice even for those that have been wrapping for a while… it’s always important to review the basics!

And also as per request, I have added a new section for those of you that want to share shopping advice, recommendations, and questions.  I will be adding my own as well to the page (and will update occasionally), but for now you can start off by adding your recommendations in the comments section.  Thank you for helping us find beautiful scarves!
