SPRING TRENDS:
WHAT'S HOT
IN
'05
A PERSONALITY
FOR EVERY SHOPPER:
"If We become a household name, we
know we've done our job," suggests
Sharon Eisenshtadt, Select Personal
Shopping Manager at Marshall Field's
of Somerset Collection in Troy.
Eisenshtadt heads up a staff of 19
women and two men to take care of the
shopping needs of a very diverse cus-
tomer base. Whether a client is a busy
professional or a time-starved stay-at-
home mom, Eisenshtadt makes sure
everyone's needs are met with some-
one who "gets you," to take the pain
out of shopping.
Clients are drawn to Eisenshtadt's
fun, bubbly personality and enjoy this
complimentary service as much as they
would a day out on the town with a
friend. Her whole team endeavors to
become a "one-stop-shop" to handle
every possible need of the client.
Getting to know clients on a person-
,
al level allows Eisenshtadt to hold the
right items for them just before a sale or for
special discounts. In a no-pressure, low-key
environment, Eisenshtadt's clients know that
by the time they walk out of that dressing
room, they will be perfectly and effortlessly
outfitted for the season. Eisenshtadt and her
Select Personal Shopping team successfully
translate some of the latest trends to fit per-
fectly with the customer's personality and
daily routines.
