Hey guys…well it’s almost that time
again. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is just around the corner
and it’s the best time to stock up on high-quality, reasonably prices staples
for the upcoming fall season. Here are 5 helpful tips to help you get ready for this
one of a kind sale!
Tip #1 ~ Know the Dates: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially starts on Thursday, July 21st and it ends on Monday,
August 7th. However, if you are a
Nordstrom cardholder, then Early Access
starts on Thursday, July 13th. Cardholders
get to shop the sale exclusively for a week and then the sale opens up to the
general public on July 21st.

Tip #2 ~ Sign Up for the Nordstrom
Rewards Program: You can join Nordstrom Rewards Program
without applying for a credit card and Nordstrom will give you a $10 Note to
spend at Anniversary Sale. With the Nordstrom
Rewards program you will earn 1 point for every $1
spent (instead of the 2 points per $1 you get with the card) when you use cash
or any card you want. You
get to use the Note during the regular sale period (July 21st-August 7th). You must join
Nordstrom Rewards as a Member by 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on July 9, 2017 and
verify your mobile number to get this offer. Sign up for the rewards
program HERE NOW!
Tip #3 ~ Get
a Nordstrom Card ASAP: The only way to get into the Early Access
Sale is to have a Nordstrom credit or debit card. I for one I’m pretty happy
that they offer these two options. I personally chose to open a Nordstrom Debit Card because
I don’t have to worry about paying off another credit card bill. The Nordstrom Debit
card links to your checking account, so it’s just like using your debit card,
but you get to earn rewards points instead. When you open a Nordstrom Card, you’ll
get a $20 Nordstrom Note for earning 2 points per dollar at Nordstrom,
Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club. Read more about the
Nordstrom Card and how to apply for one HERE.
Tip #4 ~ Start Planning and Review
the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog: Whether you plan to shop the sale early or when it
opens to the public, one thing that you should do is start planning early. If you’re
anything like me, then you’re going to want to buy just about everything that
you see in the store or online during the sale.
But don’t worry, there are few things you can do to avoid over
spending. First take inventory of your
closet to see what items you need to replaced or added to your fall
wardrobe. Then think about what wardrobe
staples that you want to add to your closet, like a pair of new boots, a new
leather jacket or a new investment handbag. And finally check out the Anniversary Sale Catalog that Nordstrom
released last week to start planning
ahead. The catalog will give you some
great ideas of what’s in store for us over the next few weeks. And make a list of the things that your
interested in buying, so you don’t forget when you get to the store. This is
also the time to create a wishlist of certain items
if the price is right, like a new Rebecca Minkoff crossbody or a pair of
designer jeans.
Tip #5 ~ Set a Budget and Stick to It: Another way to avoid over spending
is to set a budget of how much you want to spend and stick to it. Don’t go into debt trying to keep up with
everyone else. It’s very easy to lose
control and pick up a few more items that you didn’t plan to buy, but it’s
important to remember that Nordstrom has a very
generous return policy. So you don’t
have to be worry about returning some items that don’t end up working out after
a few weeks.
