Getting A Jump On The Holiday Season!

I am pretty certain that no one needs a reminder of how quickly the holidays are approaching! These days Halloween is not even celebrated when Christmas displays are already in full regale in the stores the retailers maximizing the biggest shopping season of the year! However, with all the shopping hoopla surrounding Christmas, how many of us really get into the swing of things early?


Follow-up Note from Ruby Lane CEO Tom Johnson

Well, it has been quite a week, to say the least. I wanted to reach-out to all shops and provide another site update.

Our IT Team feels we have rounded the corner and that Ruby Lane and Ruby Plaza are both stable and back to full operational levels. We do have some smaller issues that we continue to address. However, these issues do not directly affect the shopping and purchase processes for buyers or sellers. All major issues associated with our migration to Amazon's Cloud are under control.

Here is a brief update:


Pinterest - My Favorite New Social Networking Tool

I’ve “discovered” a new social networking tool that works well with Facebook, Twitter and my personal lifestyle. Not “discovered” as in Columbus discovering The New World, but “discovered” as in found and fell in love with. As a collector and purveyor of vintage goods, I’m always running across something I love and think I can’t live without while searching the internet. I happen across it on the internet, and add it to my bookmarks. Then I forget which website it was on and where I found it, and spend hours scouring my myriad bookmarks and folders.


Pink Listing Day Is Friday, October 14

We want to let all shops know about our upcoming Pink Listing Day. During this event all items newly-listed on the site will only be charged 10 cents instead of the regular 30 cent Listing Fee.

The Ruby Red Tag Sale - What A Neat Idea!


Here are some thoughts on Saturday's Red Tag Sale. I felt it was a good idea for a 24 hour sale. Who doesn't love a sale? I felt is was tastefully done and increased site traffic. I'm looking forward to more Red Tag Sales.


Ruby Red Tag Sale - Recap

This past weekend, Ruby Lane had its biggest sales day in its 13-year history.

Part of this huge success is attributed to the new Ruby Red Tag Sale, the first sale of its kind on Ruby Lane. Here are a few statistics from the 24-hour sale:

-Over 1,000 shops participated in the Sale
-Over 19,000 items were listed in the Sale


Announcing The Ruby Red Tag Sale - Saturday, 8 AM to Sunday 8 AM Pacific Time

We know that everyone loves a deal. Ruby Lane is pleased to announce the very first Ruby Red Tag Sale. This new promotion has its own area on Ruby Lane and is scheduled to run on varying days throughout the year. Save 30 – 60% on thousands of items in every Lane. The sale begins at 8 a.m. Pacific time on Saturday, September 24th, and ends at 8 a.m. Pacific time on Sunday, September 25th. Already tens of thousands of items have been added to the Sale.

 


Ruby's Red Tag Sale - Green Light, Amber Alert or Red Flag?

It’s human nature to resist change. Even new slippers feel strange when compared to the comfort of that old holey pair you just tossed away.

So it’s no wonder when Ruby Lane announces that it’s bringing in RED TAG SALES and we hear that if we want to participate not only will we have to offer items at 30% - 60% off but also pay fees on the sale, that we knee-jerk and say “Hey, just a minute!”


The Ladies of the Red Hats

You may or maybe be aware of a national social group of ladies known as the Red Hat Society. This year there is a record setting 70,000 registered members who are close to or past the age of 50. There is 24,000 chapters in the United States and 25 foreign countries. The group's primary function is social interaction among women.
