Kristin Dahl got her start in the fashion industry by working as a retail manager at the Limited and from there, her passion for fashion led her to New York City, where she eventually became an Sales Account Executive at hot brands like Magaschoni and Laundry.
After 12 years of working in wholesale, Kristin decided that she was ready to start 2 things: a family and a business of her own! Because she spent over a decade establishing herself in the fashion industry, Kristin was able to leverage her contact list from being an Account Executive to start a home-based sample sale business. Her business took off in her suburban New Jersey neighborhood and before she knew it, clients were asking Kristin for styling consultations, along with tons of requests for closet makeovers and personal shopping trips.
I had the opportunity to ask Kristin a few questions about her personal shopping business and thought I'd share them with you.
Krista Carter, Dream Fashion Jobs:
Can you describe what a typical day is like as a personal shopper for us?
Kristin Dahl, Personal Shopper and Sample Sale Queen:
Usually, I send emails to prospective clients, search retail and fashion blogs for updates and head out to closet makeovers or a personal shopping appointment. I hold sample sale events and during fall and spring, the business is very hot. I might have 2-3 sample sales in one week, which also requires me to make sure the clothing is hung and ticketed properly prior to the sale.
