Local Teachers Treated to Shopping Spectacular

dressbarn locations host V.I.P. celebration; show educators how to look like a million bucks without having to spend a fortune

Teachers will want to put their lesson plans aside and take advantage of a special shopping event being held just for them at dressbarn stores. From March 19^th to 22^nd, the national women's apparel retailer will be hosting a Teacher V.I.P. (Very Indulgent Party) to express its appreciation for the women who shape the youth. Each store will host this special Teacher V.I.P. event on one of these four days.

"We recognize that women educators often times are selective when it comes to spending money on their personal and professional wardrobes," said Vivian Behrens, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of dressbarn, inc. "But at dressbarn we believe that every woman can look like a million without having to spend a fortune. This event will prove that women can dress stylish without living beyond their means."

Described as an in-store shopping celebration, the V.I.P. event will indulge teachers with personal attention, season-specific fashion tips and top-notch service. Each guest will also receive 15 percent off of their entire purchase.

"Teachers spend countless hours in the classroom and we think it's time for them to spend a little time on themselves," said Behrens. "This V.I.P. event is guaranteed to be a fun-filled affair complete with plenty of style and savings. We want to make it easy and fun for teachers to look and feel their best."

Behrens goes on to note that V.I.P. Shopping Celebrations, which can be hosted at dressbarn at anytime, are great alternatives to throwing home parties. V.I.P. hosts receive a 25 percent hostess coupon, as well as up to ten postcard invitations that double as an exclusive discount for each guest. When guests arrive, they're greeted with a personalized welcome sign and party favors.

dressbarn stores across the nation will be hosting Teacher V.I.P. events on one day between March 19^th and 22^nd. Women interested in learning more about dressbarn's Teacher V.I.P. event date and time should visit www.dressbarn.com to find their neighborhood store.
