After its launch on Aug. 1, Gilt City added Dallas to its exclusive list of the chicest cities.
Gilt Groupe is an e-commerce fashion site where guilty pleasures leave no guilty conscious.
Its online membership provides discounts on restaurants, fitness facilities, retail, salons, spas, shows and events.
“We want to show how to love Dallas more…to lead you around the city,” Melanie Schanz of Gilt City Dallas said.
Gilt City Dallas promises to showcase all the new trendy spots as well as hidden gems.
While other coupon subscriptions, like Groupon, provide redeemable discounts, Gilt City offers access to one-time deals only found on their site.
“We are curating experiences,” Schanz said of the closely selected partnerships.
Gilt City finds its offers through referrals and by gathering experiences from employees in Dallas.
Fans of Gilt City’s Facebook page can also comment with personal suggestions of favorite places.
According to Schanz, the Facebook page helps the business measure members’ satisfaction with discounts and helps Gilt City learn more about Dallas.
As “the go-to place for all the new hot places,” Gilt City aims to have the first look at the next big thing in Dallas.
They work closely with the featured businesses to showcase what makes them most unique.
In the future, Gilt City Dallas expects to feature warehouse sample sales.
They also plan to host more advanced screenings and first looks of movies and television shows.
Less than a month after moving to Dallas, Gilt City appears to already be embraced as a local.
Up next on their calendar is to host Fashion’s Night Out after party with FD LUXE and fashion designer Abi Ferrin on Sept. 8.
The venue is at the House of Blues and is set to have hors d’oeuvres, a fashion show, two DJs, feather hair extensions
and a special gift bag.
Tickets are currently on sale on the site for $30.
Gilt Groupe began as an exclusive invitation-only web site.
But, with growing interest, the company has opened the deals to the public.
