Brands, Nordstrom, and Online Shopping

What Sort of Brand Do We Wear?

     Choosing a brand to wear is a tricky thing. Most of us go for the more expensive brands because they’re the ones that oftentimes meet our expectations. As we develop our style, we also learn to have refined taste on quality -- eventually, this will either make us respect (or disapprove) a particular name or brand, regardless of the price tag or popularity.



Nordstrom Inc.?

     Nordstrom is a perfect avenue for this ideal, helping people to “possess style — not just buy fashion” for more than 100 years since 1901. Nordstrom is, truth be told, one of my brother’s favorite stores when he was in the US, having visited several of Nordstrom’s stores including their first shop in Seattle. Carrying majority of the sensible brands (which my brother and I like) and offering customers special deals and discounts, Nordstrom has now reached a far wider audience through their online shops and partners. Perfect for many of us that have no access to a physical Nordstrom store. Besides, who doesn't realize the convenience of shopping online? And don’t forget Nordstrom coupons that can be used to avail of special discounts and deals on selected items -- awesome!

Nordstrom Coupons?

     Yep, there’s this page from Nordstrom’s online shop where one can find discounts, deals and coupon codes for Nordstrom.com


Why Shop Online?

     There is that overwhelming disadvantage of not being able to touch and try on whatever it is that we’re trying to buy. But for some of us who already know our brands, this is NOT a problem. Shopping online, aside from the convenience of it, gives us more power to choose and compare.

     Moreover, most of special deals are available only through online shops. For example, Nordstrom coupons are only available to those who will purchase through Nordstrom’s online stores. Furthermore, most online shops offer free shipping and free returns, Nordstrom is no exception. It helps that Nordstrom has free shipping and has fair policies on returning items as well.


Is It Safe To Shop Online?

Quick answer is no, the advent of digital technology has made thieves and criminals to also advance their methods. However, we can work around that. It’s up to us to make our online shopping safe and secure. Here are a few tips from wikiHow:
  • Know the identity, location and contact details of the online retailer. Find our more of their reputation, especially with online buyers. 
  • Check their billing processes, guarantees, delivery and other policies before buying. Also read the site’s privacy policy, what sort of information they collect about you when you visit their site and what they do with it. 
  • Use a credit card with online fraud protection. 
  • Install phishing filters which will warn you when it detects a distrustful site. 
  • Record purchase details, this will help you trace your bills to check if you’re paying the right amount. 
  • Use secure websites when transferring funds through the site. Read more here: http://www.wikihow.com/Shop-Online-Safely

     On my previous post, I've talked about some of my new favorite stuff. One of them, my Armani Jeans sneakers (photo below), was in fact purchased by my brother from Nordstrom in Seattle. Thanks bro, I owe you $120 for this. I wonder how much it would've cost if I bought them sneakers using Nordstrom coupons?



     Anyway, time for me to go. Remember folks, wear your style with attitude. See you on my next update. Ciao!
