Be a Valentine's Day Hero - by Cindy your SOL Girl


   

I love getting and giving gifts. Over 20 years of selling panties and Valentine's Day is still my favorite holiday. It's the perfect opportunity to give and receive an intimate gift like lingerie. I am part of Team SOL Girl and we love to help all the great guys coming in to shop for their sweetie. Some guys come armed with sizes. Others walk into SOL with a dazed expression. Either way, the awesome SOL Girl team is ready to help. Here is the inside scoop for shopping at SOL for your Valentine's Day gift.
 
First - Don't worry! You don’t have to know anything about lingerie! If she has shopped at SOL before, we have her sizes and styles on file (how easy is that!). If this is your first time shopping at SOL, no worries! The SOL Girl team will help you find just the right item quickly. No matter if you are new to SOL or a long time veteran, we will help pick out the perfect pretty thing and gift wrap it while you wait!

Rosina Chemise a SOL exclusive!
Second: Beers, Brats, and Bras. Yup. I did figure out that when we serve beer and brats guys really enjoy shopping for lingerie. This is our 10th year of our signature men's event and it is this  
Sunday, February 10 from 12-5pm. Bring a friend, or even bring your squeeze and make a date out of it!
 
Third: Valentine's Day is Thursday February 14. That's just the part you need to remember - so come in before then!

And ladies! Are you wondering what to get your guy? Did you know we are now selling Men's underwear? We call them Manties or Mangerie. Saxx is our new brand of stylish men's boxer briefs with a design focus on an ergonomic comfort pouch. Great for our guys and they are easy on the eyes. My husband loved them so much he switched out the whole drawer (no pun intended).
Speaking of my cute husband... What o' what will I be getting Todd if he already has these great undies? Fly fishing gear of course. We love fly fishing together. It's a super fun sport if you haven't tried it. We love Trout's Fly Fishing on 6th (www.troutsflyfishing.com). They are the SOL of fly fishing stores. Service and expertise is their mantra and they have a great selection of top of the line products. The guys are always up to date on the fishing report! Trout's is located just a few blocks away from us and they are offering 10% off to any customer who mentions SOL when they shop between Feb 11th and Feb 14th. 

Hugs and Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there in SOL land!

Day 5: Our Sol Friends in Paris



Steve Chotin, a long time customer, introduced us to a great book called "Hug your Customer" by Jack Mitchell. After reading this genius book, Jeanie and I learned even more about making SOL customer service outstanding. There is also a chapter on creating partnerships with all of the vendors you work with. Jeanie has always said, "you attract more bees with honey." Between Jeanie's pearls of wisdom and Jack's advice, we have become very good friends with the vendors we carry at SOL. We just wanted to say thank you for all the great dinners and fun times we had with everyone. This blog post is dedicated to those super SOL friends that made Paris so cool!




You all are the BEST! Thank you for all of your super service and for taking such great care of us!

xoxo,

Cindy
