Kendra Scott Gives Back

We are soooo excited to have a beautiful new Kendra Scott store at Baybrook Mall in the Southeast area of Houston where I live. It just amazes me that Baybrook Mall does more business than any other mall in Houston with the exception of the Houston Galleria and we are the last to get some cool stores. ****I will never understand that!!  Finally with the  new expansion at Baybrook Mall and the more lifestyle take on on this expansion,  we are getting a few great stores and restaurants.

Kendra Scott is a upscale costume jewelry store that started in Austin, TX in 2002.  Kendra (the founder ) believes in Family first, Fashion and Philanthropy. Go to www.kendrascott.com and read how she got started with $500 to where she is today and where she is going. It really has a cult like following of all ages.

Not only are her designs on point with the latest trends, but she also incorporates philanthropy into her business model unlike many other businesses. She calls it Kendra Gives Back. She employees a marketing manager and assistant manager at every store and they reach out to non-profit organizations where they will host a party in the store for that group and give back 20% of the sales made during the event whether they are customers from the group or just walk ins. A group could easily make over $1000 for their cause. This is a win win because it is a perfect way to acquire new faithful customers for Kendra Scott and line some dollars in the pockets of many organizations.

Last summer the regional area manager for Kendra Scott reached out to me to help them get the word out about the new store in my area and to host an event where I could choose my charity. Having been involved in many organizations over the last 25 years, I was able to give them a lot of leads for future Kendra Gives Back events. You would think that a company would duck out if these groups want an auction donation, but they seek them out!!

I chose the Clear Lake Area Panhellenic non-profit organization. We had a beautiful evening, even though the weather was cold, windy and raining. Weather will not keep a die heart fashionista away. The marketing managers had huge balloons that spelled out SheShe floating over the check out area and they had cupcakes with hot pink and white icing. Assorted juices mixed with champagne made for delicious and attractive drinks. We all had fun, met knew friends, bought the latest pieces from the brand new spring collection and made some money for Clear Lake Area Panhellenic Association.

So, do you have a group that you support? If you live in an area where there is a Kendra Scott store, then just call the store and tell them you would like to have a Kendra Gives Back Party. Many of these stores host 3 or more of these events every week in their stores.

If you live in the Clear Lake Area of Houston, then stop by and check out all of the new stores at Baybrook Mall.
