UniquelyMe.com, a new interactive web portal, has spread like wildfire throughout the plus size community with 58,251 hits and 1,197 unique users in only its first month of existence. Without the aid of traditional media advertising, this grass roots momentum has propelled UniquelyMe.com forward as the ultimate "personal shopper" for the plus size woman. Its goal is to break the communication barrier between the customer, the manufacturer and the retailer. UniquelyMe.com not only provides a shopping haven for women and a community which caters to what is important to them, but it also provides a platform for them to "Let their Voice Be Heard". Throughout the site there are surveys for them to tell UniquelyMe.com exactly what they want. UniquelyMe.com will then database this information in aggregate form and make it available to the manufacturers and retailers.
"Uniquely Me is the perfect resource for the full-figured femme. It's not only what's out there, but who's out there and where to get it now! The site is a perfect blend of commerce, concern and compassion for the fuller figured woman who wants to have access to the very best services and merchandise for her lifestyle needs. I feel unique when I shop on the site, as if everything there has been specially chosen with me in mind! Who but another unique woman could have uniquely designed something like Uniquely Me so uniquely!!!"
-Catherine Schuller, Fashion Retail Editor - Mode Magazine and President of Emerging Visions Enterprises Plus Size Image Specialists
Susan Barone, President and founder of UniquelyMe.com tells of her inspiration: "I spent many years in the fashion industry and understand the needs of the plus size market. The unique nature of this site is its ability to connect consumers with the people who make the decisions about the products. Through detailed surveys, this information will be used to hone in on exactly what the consumer wants and needs. This is a one-stop destination for the plus size customer as she explores the many facets available: fashion, beauty, community, motherhood, healthy living, cooking, spirituality and more. There are also links to many catalogs, retailers and manufacturers which cater to the plus sized customer."
Cheryl Anderson, Vice President and partner of UniquelyMe.com adds:
"UniquelyMe.com is the answer to the plus-size woman's prayers. I know--
because I am a plus size woman. Let us help you feel beautiful on the inside and look fabulous on the outside."
One of the many features is the spotlight on the famous plus size model, Emme, featured in Mode Magazine, who has given her whole hearted support for UniquelyMe.com: "Doesn't everyone need a personal shopper...especially on the internet!
