Local boutique rewards shoppers with Caroline & Co. Cash this holiday season

BUCKHANNON – Local boutique Caroline & Co. is offering customers a unique way to extend their shopping experience while on the hunt for the perfect holiday outfit.

Throughout the month of December, customers earn $5 in Caroline & Co. Cash for every $50 they spend. Shoppers can then spend their cash in-store during the month of January, redeeming $5 for every $25 spent.

Shopping online for the perfect holiday outfit – from the comfort of your own home – has its perks, and Caroline & Co. has a fun e-commerce store for their customers near and far. But the boutique itself, located at 33 East Main Street in Buckhannon, offers a cozy atmosphere where shoppers can experience the look, feel and fit of the clothing for themselves.

“The cash is redeemable in-store only because this allows customers to take advantage of the full shopping experience that we offer, from personal styling to finding the perfect fit,” said Lisa Karickhoff, Director of Marketing and E-Commerce at Caroline & Co. Boutique. “Each customer who chooses to shop with us will be taking away an outfit, accessory or gift from the boutique that will have them looking as great as they feel.”

Also mark your calendars as Caroline & Co. Boutique will host their annual Shop Till You Drop Christmas Party on Saturday, December 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festive gathering will feature storewide sales, doorbusters, free gifts and the staff’s favorite – a hot cocoa bar! Find out more about the event on the boutique’s social media accounts.

“This event has always been our favorite to host – it gives customers the chance to finish any last-minute shopping before Christmas, but also allows the staff at Caroline & Co. to celebrate the holiday with each person that walks through our door,” Karickhoff said.

To start earning Caroline & Co. Cash, shop online now or visit the boutique at 33 East Main Street in Buckhannon. Like and follow the boutique’s Facebook and Instagram to be in the know for ongoing sales, new arrivals and holiday festivities.
