Budgeting for Back to School: Fall into Savings

Friday, August 13, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

Summertime is coming to a close and your children are beginning to talk about their first day of school. Just as the seasons change, so do styles and trends, and not only do you have to outfit your children in the season’s new styles, but you have to think about new school supplies as well.

Back to school expenses can easily become daunting so it’s important to set forth a strategy for savings:

Establish a budget – Without a set budget, it’s easy to lose sight of how much you are spending on back to school items. Whether you create a budget for each member of your family, or each type of purchase (notebooks vs. shoes), having a set amount of money that you are willing to spend will absolutely help you to keep your purchases within scope.

At Gettington.com, it’s easy to stick to your budget with our simple credit payment plans. If you know how much you want to pay a month, you can use the Gettington Payment Calculator to pick the payment plan that’s right for you.

Save up – Once you’ve established your budget, you’ll likely need to save up some money to put towards your purchases. First, take stock of the money that you currently have available to put towards back to school goods, then evaluate how much you will be able to save over time and areas where you may need to cut back to increase your savings

An easy way to save up money using Gettington.com’s credit payment plans, is if you generally have $100/month to spend on household items, you can use Gettington’s payment plans to budget for $75/month and put that additional $25/month into the back to school pot.

Bargain shop – At Gettington.com, we have a vast inventory of apparel and supplies, to ensure that you are fully prepared to go back to school. And if you sign up for a Gettington account, you will be eligible for our weekly Goodie Bag (sm) specials and will be notified of other daily and weekly specials by email.

Shop our Kids & Toys section for children’s clothing and fun learning games. And our Men’s and Women’s apparel sections are stocked with all the latest styles for the fall season.

If you have any additional budgeting advice for back to school, please share it in the comments section – we love to hear about our savvy shopping customers!

BlogHer 2010 - A brand's perspective

Monday, August 9, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

Gettington.com made its first BlogHer appearance this year. It was a fast-paced weekend that went by too quickly. In the spirit of blogging, we wanted to share our experience as a brand at BlogHer 2010.

From what I’ve read through blogs and tweets as well as the conversations at the show, the attendees had a variety of reasons for going to the BlogHer conference. Among the reasons I’ve heard was to meet new bloggers, learn more about writing, catch

up with old friends and learn how to monetize their blog.

Obviously brands had agendas for the conference as well. At Gettington, our agenda was to build awareness of our brand and connect with a powerful community. We are just shy of our first year birthday – so yes, we are still a baby. We sponsored the BlogHer 10 conference bag because it was a great brand fit to bring the BlogHer community a cause that we support and believe in – providing women choices. (visit my earlier post on the BlogHer conference bag).

We also manned a booth in the exhibition hall. We were surprised by all the BlogHer conference attendees who came by to either say Thank You for the bag and/or learn more about Gettington. We marveled at the level of engagement by all the attendees. Our experience was less about people coming through looking for swag and more about real conversations about who we were.

We were so encouraged by the positive feedback about our business. This was important to us as we are not your typical online shopping site. We help consumers manage their budget by providing payment options. Our shopping assistant shops along with you showing your payment options for each item that you add to your shopping bag. We believe informed decisions are the best and don’t hide interest fees by clearly display the total price you will pay including interest. And our payment options are a better choice than most store credit options (see for yourself – JC Penney is 23.99% APR and Target is at 25.24%)

Our brand tenets center on choice, transparency and a healthy dose of fun. Yes, we gave away some fun prizes – an iPod, Dyson DC-14 vacuum, Wii Sports Resort bundle, Kitchen Aid stand mixer, Rachael Ray cookware, Paula Deen cookware, Wolfgang Puck knife set. Goodie BagTM is our weekly fun. It’s a great deal or even a freebie such as the Freeset bag. All you have to do is register on the site to get your virtual Goodie Bag.

We are also thankful to everyone who took the time to write a note for the women of Freeset. It means a lot to be able to provide them with the encouragement to make bold choices in life. We’ll post a link to the digital scrapbook once it is completed. Lara David (@laradavid) is pictured with her note to the women of Freeset. Visit her blog as well.

I am very happy for the new connections too. But I also realize that our view of the world from our booth may be distorted. I’ve also heard about a few faux pas that brands can easily make (i.e. not every female who blogs is a mommy, not every blogger is interested in writing product reviews) What is the best way to engage you at BlogHer? Any suggestions on how to make an impact that works for you and for us? I would love all your feedback (positive and opportunities) so that we can digest what we’ve learned and connect with you in the way that is optimum.

Warmest regards from Gettington.com

How a BlogHer ’10 Conference Bag Changed the Lives of Women in India

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

less than a month, I’ll be packing my bags and making last minute preparations for BlogHer ’10 in New York City. In case you’re not familiar with the event, BlogHer is the world’s largest conference for women in social media. This year’s event takes place August 6 – 7 and is shaping up to be the biggest in BlogHer’s history.

Gettington.com has the privilege of being this year’s BlogHer conference bag sponsor. We are very excited about this opportunity because it gives us and BlogHer the opportunity to make all the conferences attendees part of the Freeset story.

Freeset is a fair trade business offering employment to women trapped in Kolkata's sex trade. In this area of India alone, upwards of 10,000 women are forced to prostitution either through trafficking or poverty. Freeset works to provide these women with new job skills and empowerment to obtain freedom from an occupation that was chosen for them. Freeset focuses on providing choices for these women by teaching them to sew jute bags for the export market.

Gettington.com has been supporting Freeset since our launch almost a year ago. Our first “goodie” in our Goodie BagTM was a free Gettington Freeset bag. We provided a summer version of the bag this year as a free gift for placing an order and also made it available for sale directly from our website. And now in partnership with BlogHer, we are bringing the Freeset bag to the BlogHer ’10 conference. By purchasing these bags from Freeset we are enabling the mission of freedom for these women. By receiving a Gettington.com Freeset bag you are directly participating in a woman's journey to freedom.

If you plan on attending BlogHer ’10, you’ll receive this bag, which will no doubt have some great items inside, but giving the women of Kolkata an opportunity to become free from sex trade is a very meaningful gift.

Gettington will be situated at booth 1800 and would love for you to stop by and sho

w your support for the women of Freeset. We’ll be setting up an area for you to share your thoughts and words of encouragement by creating a scrapbook that will be presented to the Freeset women or leave a comment here. The ladies are very excited and proud of their work – they especially enjoy receiving feedback from those that use their products – so don’t be shy!

Not making it to BlogHer ’10 this year but still would like to participate in the FreeSet story? We’re going to pick 20 commenters to receive the Gettington.com Freeset Summer bag for showing their support for Freeset. Each one of the summer bags are made with recycled Sari material that is handstitched to each side. No two bags are alike!

Good luck and we look forward to sharing your comments with the women behind the BlogHer ’10 conference bag!

Budgeting for a New Home: Simple Ways to Save When Making Your House a Home

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

The summer months are great for moving into a new home. You saved up your money, established a budget, found a realtor, labored over house locations and details, negotiated a price, and now you are finally the owner of a new home – congrats! But if you want to maximize your investment in time for summer fun, the real work is just beginning.

What about the cost of moving, buying new furniture and decorating, renovations or home improvement projects, mortgage payments!? While you should be thrilled about your new investment, the work isn’t over yet. At Gettington.com we want to help you to make your house a home without breaking the bank so here are some easy tips:

Prioritize your projects – Without a doubt, you will have a vast number of projects requiring your attention when you first move into your new home. It’s important to not try and tackle all of these at once, for your sanity and your wallet. To help prioritize, think about what you need versus what you want. Do you want a new couch, but need a new hot water heater? Do you want new towels, but need a bed set for the guest room? Decide what is the most important for you to tackle first and get started.

Create a budgeting plan – Once you’ve prioritized your new home purchases, you’ll want to establish a budgeting plan so you can afford all of your purchases. What I recommend, is building out a calendar that shows your weekly income and then assigning yourself 1-3 projects/week based on urgency and ability to pay.

Now it’s totally understandable if you are not able to pay for all of your purchases with cash and that’s where a smart online shopping site like Gettington.com can help. With our payment plans, you receive your purchase as if you had paid up front, but then use a Gettington credit option (offered by WebBank*) to space your payments over time: FAST Option (4-monthly payments) or EASY Option (extended pay).

Bargain shop – At Gettington.com, we have a vast inventory of home decorating, improving, and furnishing, and with regular deals and promotions, it’s easy to get a discount. And if you sign up for a Gettington account, you will be eligible for our weekly Goodie Bag (sm) specials.

Shop our Home section for anything from bedsheets, to vases, to vacuums. Our Tools section can help with any yardwork, home repair or outdoor needs you may have. And our Electronics section can help you to outfit your new entertainment center, office or gaming station.

These steps will help you get a head start on preparing your new home for a “summer blockbuster” party unveiling with friends and family. Once you have your home furnishing/improvement budget decided, you can work on getting your party budget ready!

Having spend the last year moving myself, I understand how much hard work and how exciting moving into a new home can be. If you have any additional budgeting advice for new home owners, please share it in the comments section – we love to hear about our savvy shopping customers!

Budgeting for Summer Vacation: Soak in the Rays, Save up the Dough

Friday, May 28, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

You’ve been working hard all year, the weather is beautiful, the kids are out of school and your ready to hit the beach. Summer vacations are a great way to relax and spend time with your family, but most of the time they don’t come cheap. Last week, we told you how to survive vacation. This week, we’re going to help you budget for your trip.

With, the cost of a rental or hotel, transportation, food, drinks, and let’s not forget all the supplies: bathing suits, sandals, sunscreen…vacation costs can add up fast! But there is no doubt that you and your deserve a summer vacation, so we at Gettington.com want to help you budget for this summer’s vacation by following some simple tips:

Do your research – Travel arrangements should not be made hastily. Often, it requires a great deal of research and planning to find the best deals and packages. Sites like TripAdvisor and Expedia can streamline the process, but in most cases there is some element of manual Web research that goes into connecting the dots and finding the best deals.

Create a summer savings plan – Once you’ve established where you’d like to travel and the overall cost for transportation and accommodations, you can work on a savings plan to finance your trip. First, take stock of the money that you currently have available to put towards the trip, then evaluate how much you will be able to save over time and areas where you may need to cut back to increase your savings.

Bargain shop – Take advantage of online discount shopping. Gettington.com has a vast inventory of summer apparel and supplies, to ensure that you are full stocked for your summer vacation. And if you sign up for a Gettington account, you will be eligible for our weekly Goodie Bag (sm) specials and will be notified of other daily and weekly specials by email. And at Gettington.com you can manage your budget by using a Gettington.com easy payment plan*.

Budgeting for Baby: Saving a Bundle of Cash for Your Bundle of Joy

Monday, April 26, 2010 by Paula's Picks

You just found out that your first baby is on the way. You are filled with joy and excitement, and you feel like the next nine months cannot pass by soon enough. But in addition to your baby needing those nine months for full development, you and your partner have a lot of preparation to do before the baby arrives.

Babies are expensive. With furniture, food, clothing, diapers and more, having a baby can add a lot of new costs to your current monthly expenses. At Gettington.com, we want to help ensure that you are emotionally and fiscally prepared for the arrival of your little bundle of joy:

1. Establish your baby budget –To begin, we recommend figuring out approximately how much your baby will cost you each month and over time. Write down all the various items you will need to buy in preparation for the baby and once the baby arrives. You can research the average price of these items by checking in stores, online and with friends and family that recently had a child of their own. Then calculate your total weekly, monthly and yearly costs based on the prices you found.

2. Save up – Once you have a rough estimate of what the incremental costs to your household budget plan will be, take stock of the money that you currently have available and how much you will have to save over the next nine months and beyond. Create a budget for your current monthly expenses that will enable you to save money over time.

At Gettington.com, it’s easy to stick to your new baby budget with our easy payment plans*. You can use the Gettington.com Payment Calculator to pick the payment plan that aligns best with your budgeting goals. And while there are many stores with layaway, at Gettington.com you can buy now pay later for those big baby purchases and maintain your budget.

For example, a great new item at Gettington.com is the Delta Crib N Changer. This Delta 4-in-1 Crib converts to a toddler bed, day bed and a full size headboard and footboard! Crib has removable changing table with 3 shelves. There are 5 mattress support positions. Chest has a cabinet and one shelf. Comes with rolling under crib storage box. This one piece of baby room furniture can replace buying a crib and changing table and toddler bed and big kid bed frame. It currently retails on Gettington.com for $349.95. Using the Gettington.com Payment Calculator you can choose the payment option that works best for your budget. And with Gettington.com's flexible payment options you can pay for it all at once or you can finance furniture online. (Gettington.com store credit offered by WebBank**)

Pay Now - $349.95 (plus shipping and applicable taxes)
Fast Option - 4 payment of $90.46 (plus shipping and applicable taxes)
Easy Option - 21 payments of $20.00 (plus shipping and applicable taxes)

3. Shop Smart – Online retailers like Gettington.com have a vast inventory of products for children and babies, and with regular deals and promotions, it’s easy to get a good bargain.

Shop our Kids & Toys section for anything from playpens and car seats to bedding and more. Our Home section can also help you to get organized before the baby arrives. And if you sign up for a Gettington.com account, you will be eligible for our weekly Goodie Bag (sm) specials.

There’s no doubt that your new baby will light up your life and keep you very busy, so take the time before the baby arrives to figure out your finances and that way you can spend all of your energy on taking care of your new arrival.

If you have any additional baby budget advice, please share it in the comments section – we love to hear about our savvy shopping customers!

Get Your Wallet in Shape

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

As spring starts to peek its head around the corner and temperatures rise, you’ll need to shed all those winter layers but that may mean needing to shed some extra pounds as well.

We at Gettington.com are certainly not fitness or nutrition experts, but we can help you to get your household budget plan in shape so you can start fresh this spring. In fact whether creating a personal budget plan or a personal health plan, a lot of the same principles apply:

1. Create a plan – Similar to a diet or fitness regimen, planning is critical. Make note of all your monthly expenses compared to your monthly income. Figure out what expenses tend to take up the majority of your income, what expenses are the most frivolous and which are the most critical. Once you’ve categorized all of your monthly expenses, start to build out a monthly budget plan broken down by each category.

At Gettington.com we offer credit payment plans - offered by WebBank* - for any budget. If your personal finance plan allots you $50/month for all clothing-related expenses, you can just use the Gettington Payment Calculator to figure out which payment plan to use to help maintain your budget. And unlike online layaway shopping, Gettington.com allows buy now pay later shopping so you can enjoy your purchase immediately versus having to wait until it is fully paid off.

2. Take small steps – Just like it’s not healthy to starve yourself or run a marathon without properly training, personal finance shouldn’t be extreme either. Small efforts to cut back your spending or budget more wisely can really help in the long run and are often more easily sustained and managed.

Gettington.com’s Goodie Bag (sm) and regular promotions are a great example of a small step towards your personal finance freedom. With the Goodie Bag and site-wide sales, you can get a variety of products and enjoy discount internet shopping.

3. Write things down – When nutritionists tell you to write down everything you eat, it’s because they want you to be more aware of your daily food intake. Finances should be no different. Writing down everything you purchase can help you to better understand where your money is going and be more aware of places you can cut back.

With a Gettington.com credit account*, you can keep track of all your expenses - especially what you buy on credit - right on the Gettington.com site. Your Gettington statement is designed to provide a clear and thorough understanding of your account information, finance charges, monthly activity of payments and charges, and account summary.

I hope that armed with these personal budgeting tips, you feel ready to conquer the warm weather and show off your new and improved budget to all your friends and family.

Very Important Perspective: Customer Feedback and Online Shopping

Friday, March 5, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

“Rate your experience.” “Tell us what you think.” “How can we make your experience better?”

Customer satisfaction has always been important to retail establishments. If you don’t know how your customers feel about your business, then you can’t make changes or decisions to improve their experience. As a customer, understanding that your feedback can directly influence your retail experience is important and satisfying. Ultimately, all businesses want to keep and gain customers, ensuring that you, the customer, are happy with your experience and will continue shopping with them in the future.

At restaurants and stores, often feedback is gathered by surveys or suggestion boxes. But with the growth of the online shopping store, customer feedback has transitioned to the Web where more sophisticated tools can be used to gather feedback. E-mail questionnaires, Web site surveys and informal polls can help online retailers to gauge customer satisfaction. Here at Gettington.com, we actually have an entire online community dedicated to gathering your feedback.

The Gettington VIP (Very Important Perspective) Community is our online portal for collecting your feedback on a variety of topics related to Gettington.com. The VIP Community is free to join, and as a member you will be able to:

Provide feedback that can help Gettington.com improve your online shopping site experience;
Share your opinions with Gettington.com and discuss them with like-minded shoppers;
Learn more about Gettington's online payment plan
Help shape the future of Gettington.com;and
Gain a sneak preview of new Gettington.com items.

The VIP community is a welcoming and engaging experience. Once you’ve signed up, you will have access to a number of surveys regarding online shopping tips. There are discussion forums where you can interact and discuss topics with other members of the community such as shopping on a budget, online gift shopping or smart shopping tips. We also have a quick poll every few weeks that asks a fun question and allows you to see the results of the poll instantly.

In addition to asking you for your feedback, we also share updates about the community and Gettington.com with regular newsletters that summarize some of the feedback we have been receiving and the changes we are making because of it. Of course, we can’t ask so much of you without giving anything in return. So in addition to using your feedback to shape the Gettington.com experience, a number of VIP Community members are randomly selected for rewards each week, from discounts to promotions to goodie bag items.

We value customer feedback and have built an entire community around it, so we hope you will consider becoming a part of our VIP community and help us to help you shop smart with Gettington.com for years to come.

GettingTons of Deals Online

Friday, February 19, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

Remember the days of coupon-clipping? Every Sunday, you would get out your handy pair of scissors, gather all the coupons that came with the newspaper throughout the week and weed through for the various deals that best fit your family’s and home budgeting needs.

Were you in the market for a new quilt? 20% off bedding at Macy’s

Did you need some toothpaste? 2 for 1 Colgate Toothpaste at Wal-Mart

Were you looking for a present for your son’s birthday? $10 off any GI-Joe action figure

You would sift through hundreds of coupons until you found the 10 or 20 that would best aid your shopping and then you would head out the door to run your errands…boy, have things changed!

With the advent of e-commerce and growth of online shopping, coupon-clipping has been rendered antiquated. Instead, e-tailers push coupons to your email, create custom promotional sections of their sites and often offer daily or weekly goodies that will be included in your purchases. All websites essentially become discount shopping sites.

At Gettington, we love to reward our customers with fun deals. We understand that for money-conscious shoppers, our smart online payment plans can really help with your personal budgeting strategies. But knowing when sales and promotions are running also make for smart shopping tips.

Consider this:
Your husband’s birthday is coming up and you’d like to buy him a new winter coat. You receive an email that all Winter Gear at Gettington is 20% off. You find a Carhartt Jacket for $120.00, or $96 with the 20% off. When you get to the check-out, you see that your Gettington Goodie Bag has a free pair of Men’s NFL slippers in it. Perfect!

So with Gettington’s email promotion and Goodie Bag, you were just able to get your husband a warm winter jacket and pair of slippers from his favorite NFL team. And there was no pesky coupon-clipping involved! (and you let your fingers do the walking on the internet instead of driving out in the snow)

Try it for yourself at www.Gettington.com where we are featuring the following sales and promotions through March 1st:
o   Save 15% on all bedding
o   Free shipping on Serta mattresses and sets
o   Or take 10% off your entire purchase when you apply for Gettington.com store credit - offered by WebBank

Happy shopping!

**Offer ends 11:59pm 3/01/2010 CT. Enter promotion code GT422 during checkout. Valid on Bedding Categories only (Pillows, Bedspreads, Blankets& Throws, Comforter Sets, Comforters, Kids Bedding, Pillows&Pads, Quilts and Sheets).

Get your Goodie Bag(SM)

Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

Goodie Bag is about fun.

It's our way to say that you deserve something special - a treat, a goodie.

We want your experience at Gettington.com to be full of fun and surprises - all pleasant of of course! So we created the Goodie Bag to provide a weekly treat - just for you. Every week we'll put a new goodie in your bag. Sometimes it will be a great deal. Sometimes it will be early or exclusive access to hot products. And sometimes it may be something for free - just because.

Getting your Goodie Bag is easy. Simply go to Gettington.com and create an account. You'll find your Goodie Bag on your account page. Every week we'll send you a Goodie Bag Alert so you don't miss anything fabulous.

Here are two examples of past goodies (Sorry but they are expired)

Gettington FreeSet Bag - Free with any purchase

This is no oridinary bag. It is a bag made by Freeset, a global organization that gives women a chance to leave sex trade behind and have a new life. Find out more at freesetglobal.com.

By offering this bag, we were able to give our Goodie Bag holders a quality tote bag that everyone can use (it totes my daughters coat and snow boots to school every day) and make a difference in the lives of many women. We all can make a difference. We call this concept "Givington". It's a play on our brand name Gettington. We believe in social good and there are many ways that we can "get a ton" and "give a ton". We also believe that working with companies that give back does make a difference and we try to find ways to help the community at large.

We hope that those who have a Gettington bag enjoy it as much as we do.

About Us

Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Paula Drum, General Manager

We are family.

Gettington is all about the family and we are family just like you. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, aunts, uncles and we juggle life the same ways you do. We work hard and manage our family budget the best we can. We figure out how to get our kids to soccer, baseball and dance, and we nurse them back to health when they’re sick. We treasure our friends, plan vacations, try to save for rainy days…and never have enough time!

Our family at Gettington has designed an online shopping site with your family in mind. We want to provide a little help along the way, save you some time and hassles, and maybe even simplify life a little. And that starts by providing you the choices you need, from the great brands that we carry to a huge assortment of products, over 20,000 and growing.

Gettington Shopping Bag We understand that managing your budget is very important. Every product at Gettington is offered with three ways to pay so you can decide what works best for your budget. Think of it as your personal budgeting tool. You can pay in full using your own credit card. Or you can buy now and pay later with a Gettington Credit option. Pay over just four months with our FAST Option. Or give yourself more time with low monthly payments by using our EASY Option. Every page of the website has a shopping bag that displays your product selections along with your payment options of Pay Now, FAST Option (4-pay) or EASY Option (extended pay).

We created these options so you can have choices in how to pay. But unlike typical credit card companies, you won’t find us in the nickel and dime game or trying to create “perma-debt”. In fact, our options help you pay off your balance much faster than typical credit cards. We believe that transparency and honesty is the path to great decisions. At any time you can view the total payment cost from your options panel.

We also believe that random acts of kindness make the world a better place. We make random acts of kindness part of our everyday life through the Gettington Goodie Bag(SM). When you create your account online you will automatically receive a virtual goodie bag. At any time there will be special items placed in your goodie bag – from secret sales, limited-edition merchandise, special discounts, to freebies. Check your Gettington Goodie Bag often, as the goodies do expire.

That's it for now. Check back often as we are going to "get talking" about everything from new products to budgeting tips.

Live well-Live great,
Paula Drum
