Guess what, Materialistas? Not only did we have a chance to get an exclusive interview with Tracey Tee, the co-Founder and buyer for Delight.com. Not only are we going to give you guys a chance to win a FREE magnetic darts game (more on that at the bottom of this article). But keep reading, becauser Delight.com is also offering an exclusive discount for Modern Materialist readers! They may be our favorite shopping site ever now, and here's why:
MM: Hey Tracey! Tell us a little about Delight.com; what makes you guys different from other shopping sites?
TT: There’s a lot that makes Delight.com different. Our customer service is top-notch, and we’re pretty sure you’ll have an excellent experience starting from the minute you order to receiving your box. Every box is beautifully wrapped up, and stuffed with lots of extra goodies like post-its and lollipops!
You can also vote or comment about our items, have fun browsing through our fun gift guides, listen to our weekly mix tapes, and read our fun write-ups about every product. We’re very interactive.
MM: That's all super cool, but how do you choose the products on Delight?
TT: Basically we ask ourselves “would we buy this?” if we feel honestly it is worth ours - and everyone else’s - hard-earned money, we will add it to Delight. Things need to be beautifully designed, insanely useful and of great value for us to present them to our customers. We really think your money should be well spent on Delight.com.
MM: What's the deal with "Today's Delight?" How does that work, and how does a product end up being chosen?
TT: “Today’s Delight” is our daily-featured item. Every day at Noon CST we offer a new product for sale at a special price for 24 hours. 99% of the items on Delight have been Daily Featured Items. This is how we designed Delight…a fast-paced, ever-changing assortment of hand-picked goodies. It’s fun!
MM: Okay, cool. So what's your best selling product?
TT: Our RuMe Bags and Envirosax reusable bags are by far our best-selling products. We have an amazing selection of eco-friendly items that allow people to make small, significant steps towards going green without completely changing your personal lifestyle. These bags are so pretty and so well designed, who wouldn’t want to use them? We were fortunate to launch both these brands in their early phases (we were the very first company to introduce RuMe Bags on Earth Day 08), which has solidified us a the go-to resource for fresh, fun and easy to use reusable bags, reusable bottles and other eco-friendly products.
MM: What's your favorite product that you think should be selling more?
TT: For daily use, EVERYONE should be using Better Life Cleaning Products. They’re 100% plant-based, bio-degradable and they work amazingly well. We sell lots of this, but we should be selling TONS. It’s a top-notch product that eliminates you ever having to clean with nasty chemicals again.
Also, a personal favorite of mine is our handmade 14K gold votive. (Yes, I know y’all don’t like it!) We don’t sell a lot of pricey items on Delight, so when we do, you gotta know we believe it’s worth every single penny. These are like jewelry for your table. They are spectacular and timeless works of art that will last forever. Plus, we’re obsessed with the designers, Kiln. Great, creative people from Brooklyn and we really, really believe in what they’re doing.
MM: It's almost holiday time; what have you planned that's special on the site?
TT: We’ve stocked up the site with lots of fun stocking stuffers that won’t be items of the day. We’ve amped up our product offerings so there is literally something for everyone. We did a fun “12 Days of Christmas in September” promotion that allowed lots of our customers to shop early and get great deals. Beyond that, we’re offering Free Shipping over $150 through Dec 31st, and you’ll have to sign up for our newsletter to see what we’re gonna offer Thanksgiving weekend. Lots of amazing deals to be had!!
MM: Okay, last question... What's the most delightful thing that's happened to you while
working at Delight.com?
TT: I’ve been fortunate to watch Delight grow from an idea on a daily walk w/ my biz partner Lynda into a tour-de-force online shopping experience. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in just under two years…we have an amazing staff of the greatest, smartest, hardest-working gals you’ll ever meet, and a wonderful, dynamic customer base of thousands and thousands of happy shoppers who totally get what we’re doing. Every day really is an adventure, and it’s definitely Delightful!!
