My original blog
Bargainista... where people who love shopping connect is a Toronto-based blog about anything and everything related to shopping, customer service, bargains and a dash of social media thrown in for good measure.
Bargainista was launched in 2006, a time when very few brands considered building relationships with bloggers. Almost all of what I wrote was organic and a reflection of my personal experiences with no external nudging. About a year-and-a-half later, the brands and their agencies came knocking on my door (well, inbox) trying to entice me with all kinds of information, bargains, swag and event opportunities. Sometimes I accepted their challenges other times I didn’t and regardless, I always did and will continue to disclose any material relationships impacting my writing.
Lots has changed since then – personally, professionally and in social media. Bargainista helped open lots of doors but my focus shifted somewhat. I hope you’ll still enjoy the ride and I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Eden
