Shopbop is an online mecca for all the latest clothes and accessories from popular designers. They are often listed as a must visit shopping site in magazines like Vogue and Elle, because they offer great service. The only drawback is the designer duds they stock tend to carry high prices. If price is prohibiting you from scoring pieces you love, we have a few tips and tricks to help.
Buy Investment Pieces During Dollar Off Promotions
Every so often Shopbop runs a promotion where they offer up to $500 off your order total, if your order meets a particular minimum. In the past they have offered the following dollar off promotions:
At other times you might find that they offer a percentage off your total order based on a minimum purchase. For example, if you spend $1,500 you can save 35%.
Either way, this is a really good time to buy an investment piece you have your sights set on, because the offer is typically applicable to all the latest pieces, which means you can snag classics that sell out before they usually go on sale.
They often run this kind of offer in November for the holiday season. However, dollar off promotions could take place at any time so it is a good idea to sign up for their email or bookmark the BluePromoCode Shopbop offers page which will provide you with links to all the latest coupons and discounts.
Shop During Friends And Family Events
Shopbop runs friends and family events like many bricks and mortar stores. They usually offer 20% off just about everything for a day or two. These events are often run twice yearly and in the recent past have taken place in April and October.
Use Their Wish List Tool To Your Advantage
If you sign up for an account Shopbop lets you save anything you like to your wish list. It is beneficial to browse their collection prior to any sales or offers and save the items you like in this wish list. You can then opt to be notified when anything on your list is getting low in inventory, or goes on sale. This allows you to bide your time without missing out. In many instances you may be able to wait and purchase the item either when it goes on sale, or when one of the above offers is running.
Be Strategic When Shopping Their Sale Stock
Shopbop offers a regular sales section on their site, but the amount you can save is dependent on timing. When items are first marked down they often have around 20-30% off them, but over time they may be discounted to as much as 70%. Sometimes you will even find that they run an offer for a further discount on clearance stock which can take the savings up to 80-90%. Obviously it is a bit of a gamble, because the longer you wait the higher the chances of missing out, but for non-essential fun pieces, it can be worth holding out for as long as possible.
Check Out Bop Basics For Everyday Value
Shopbop has their own line called Bop Basics which is a range of classic clothes and accessories that are high quality, but reasonably priced. You may be able to find something similar to the designer pieces you desire in this line, for significantly less. Think T-shirts, pencil skirts, straw bags and lots more items.
Follow Shopbop On Facebook And Twitter
Shopbop’s social media sites, Facebook and Twitter, are not only an extra way to stay up to date on any sales and offers, but a great place to find free fashion advice. Expect to find suggestions on two ways to wear the one dress, packing list guides, and how to wear the latest accessories.
They Offer Global Free Shipping And PrePaid Duties
If you are often disappointed to find that free shipping offers only apply to US orders, this time you’ll be happy to note that Shopbop offers free international shipping to most countries around the globe. In fact, in many cases, it is free international express delivery. I’ve placed orders from Australia and received them within 2-3 days! To qualify you need to spend over $100. If you spend under $100 you will be charged $10 for shipping. If you choose, or qualify for the free express delivery option you will also benefit from prepaid customs fees, which means you know up front what your order will really cost you.
As you can see with most of these tips, timing is everything when it comes to getting the best value for money at Shopbop. If you can exercise patience and wait to shop when they have an offer or sale running you can reap massive savings.
