RICHMOND, VA - August 9, 2005 - Nike shirts for .95 each. Two piece
Jimmy boy's jean sets for .50. Girl's Meow! Tank tops for .98.
These prices won't be found in most local stores and all over the
country, parents are turning off the ignition and turning on the
computer. Following on the heels of the hugely successful
Overstock.com, which stocks name brand and surplus merchandise of all
sorts, entrepreneurs like Tabatha Tucker have taken the concept of
closeout children's clothing to the web. With the debut of her new web
site, Tucker joins a growing trend of entrepreneurs discovering the
online market as a place to connect with parents who are both style
savvy and savings smart.
Tucker's web site, T. Y. Tucker & Associates
(http://www.tytassociates.com), features popular, brand name
children's clothing at rock-bottom prices. Tucker, who markets her
products to both consumers and retailers, deals in liquidations and
closeouts.
"We negotiate once in a lifetime deals with clothing manufacturers who
were bankrupt or going out of business," says Tucker. By negotiating
deals well below wholesale prices, liquidation dealers acquire top
quality, name brand merchandise at pennies on the dollar. Because she
doesn't pay for a brick and mortar storefront to attract customers,
she saves again, and those savings get passed on to her customers.
"We carry official name brand lines like Gap, Guess, Polo, Oshkosh,
Addidas and Tommy Hilfiger," Tucker said in reference to the range of
clothing and apparel accessories that can be found on her site. "It's
brand new merchandise in factory condition with savings over 50
percent below retail."
While prices like those have been available to retailers on Internet
clothing closeout sites, it's only recently that sites like Tucker's
have offered those low, closeout prices to parents. Just six months
ago, closeout children's could only be fond in bulk shipping pallets
for purchase from wholesale liquidators. Tucker undercuts even those
prices by discounting the name brand clothing on her site even further
for bulk orders. "For consumers, prices range anywhere from 50 to 70
percent below regular retail prices. For Wholesalers/Retailers, this
could range anywhere from 40 to 60 percent below regular wholesale
prices."
But price is only one part of the reason that parents are turning to
online wholesale and closeout clothing shops. T. Y. Tucker &
Associates is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for shopping. There's
no need for parents to round up the kids and drag them out to the
store, or to fight their way through crowds of other bargain hunters
on hot summer afternoons. Online shopping allows parents to shop at
their convenience and save those summer afternoons for doing something
the kids will enjoy a lot more than shopping for school clothes.
Because selling kid's closeout clothing on the Internet is still a new
undertaking, many of the clothing sites offer coupons and incentives
to entice consumers to give online shopping a try and Tucker's site is
no exception. Customers who make purchases can claim a three day, two
night vacation at one of twenty different U.S. destinations. Tucker
also exhibits another trait that is more common in online
entrepreneurs than not – an altruistic soul. T. Y. Tucker & Associates
has a special program that helps churches, schools, youth groups and
charities to earn 10 percent of purchases made by their members.
Tucker does offer the following caution, "Our closeout prices usually
go very fast so shop early, get your coupon code and check often for
new arrivals."
