Shopping On-Line for the Best Deals

Of course I'm biased to our own site at http://www.enkorestuff.com/, but I know we can't possibly have everything everyone needs, not even in our choosen niche for babies and children.



So where can you go for finding some quick cost comparisons and to find out what the product is about? At the store we depend on a few sites to help us with putting fair prices on our new-to-you merchandise. We've been partial to Google's Shopping site as our own products are listed there, but I recently stumbled upon Shopwiki.com and thought I'd share a little bit about it, plus I've already started the process to get Enkore Kids' products to show up on their site and so you should be finding out stuff there shortly.

The cool thing about Shopwiki.com is that, just as easy as it was to get Enkore Kids added, all store can be added to their database. Not only can stores contact them to be added at no charge, but their database actively seeks out stores on the internet to include. So the information it gives you will be more comprehensive.

Some catagories we hope to find our items in soon (I was told to expect it to take a couple weeks for our site to be added):
So check them out - it's a great resource to find fair prices and we'll be using it to help us determine our pricing.

Mom's Clothing Swap



Enkore Kids offers you great savings on all the things your kids need for newborn to age 14 and we also offer Maternity wear, too!

Now, we're offering Mom's an economical way to refresh their own wardrobes as well with a Moms Only Clothing Swap!

We asking a small registration fee of $10 ($15 with a friend), but you'll certainly be getting your money's worth.

With each registration, you'll receive:
  • $20 worth of coupons redeemable at Enkore Kids
  • Refreshments sponsored by Pampered Chef
  • An opportunity to checkout offers from Local Businesses & Home Party Reps (email me if you'd like to participate as a vendor, or click here to register on-line!)
  • Ability to trade out your rarely or never worn items for clothing that's more in your style
  • A fun afternoon out with friends and the ability to meet new friends!

How It Works:

  • Register & bring in your rarely worn current styled Women's clothing/shoes to swap by Friday 4/24. (We want to have everything organized for the big event, so the sooner you can bring your items in, the better!)
  • Come back at Swap Time (Sunday, 4/26 from 3-6pm) to select what you want- FREE!
  • First hour is limited to the number of items you brought in (ie: if you bring in 10, you get to choose 10 items). First come, first served.
  • Unclaimed items are free for all after the first hour.

We want this to be a huge, fun event for area moms. Help us spread the word by printing out our flyer and sharing this blog with your friends. If it's the success we're hoping for, we hope to hold these swaps twice a year!

After all mom's sacrifice for their kids (their clothes, their toys, their extracurricular activities, etc...) an afternoon out is the least we all deserve!

Hope to see you there!

To register on-line: click here.

To register by phone, call us at 301-668-0837 or 240-329-2121 during business hours.

Spring has Sprung at Enkore Kids!

Our Basket Sale is over, and the racks are now full of Spring clothing! Unfortunately, we've had to eliminate the pretty rhinestones (too much of a risk of Lead). Since we can't legally donate, sell, or export them, we've been forced to put our existing inventory on our own children. (Waste not, want not, right?) After, of course, a thorough education on the dangers of eating her clothes, my daughter was thrilled with the increase in her wardrobe. I didn't have the heart to tell her, there'd be no more sparklies for her in the future.

Read my prior posts about the CPSIA and what you can do to help amend this over-reaching law. And please google "CPSIA" for the latest news. There are others much more knowledgeable and eloquent on the issue than I, so I will defer to them as I get back to focusing on the future of Enkore Kids.

Current Sales & Specials:

Come in now for Double Reward Stamps on your Frequent Buyer Card! Now through March 14, for every $25 you spend at one time (before taxes and after coupons/sales are applied), you'll get TWO stamps instead of one, earning you a $50 store credit up to TWICE as fast!

We've extended our Webkinz sale: Buy 2 or more of any Webkinz, Lil Kinz, or Accessories and any other GANZ branded items and save 40%! Now extended through March 14.

We're rolling back our Melissa & Doug toy prices! All plush, puppets, puzzles, crafts, & more are now 20% off the tagged price through the end of March.

Turn Key Birthday Bashes:

We're working on making Enkore Kids a one-stop place to plan your child's next birthday. You'll be able to choose from four themes:
  • Melissa & Doug Crafts Party (craft of your choice -from a selection-for each child to complete as a take-home gift)
  • Webkinz Extravaganza Party (a lil kinz for each child to take home and Webkinz-themed games to play for extra small prizes)
  • Princess Party (little girls will make a tiara and play princess games)
  • Pirate Party (little boys will shiver the timbers with fun)

For just the theme decorations, activities, and take-home gift or craft, the cost will be $10 per child, minimum of 6 children, with two hours alloted in our upstairs party room. We'd also provide invitations for you to mail and maintain a "wish list" for your child - where your guests can puchase what your child wants from Enkore Kids at a discount! You would be responsible for food and drink.

We can make arrangements for cupcakes, pizza, drinks, and helium-filled balloons, too, for an additional charge. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, so please comment to this post.
