ShoeDazzle brings back its subscription model
They’re baaaack! Subscriptions that is. Not across the board, mind you, because they never really left. Rather, subscriptions are back at ShoeDazzle, the fast fashion women’s etailer that made the model famous, only to depart from it amidst a near-fatal CEO transition in late 2012.
Following a partial resurrection of the business by returning CEO (and co-founder) Brian Lee and a subsequent August 2013 sale to cross-town rival JustFab, ShoeDazzle is hoping to party like its 2011 again. Later this week, the company will bring back the same $39.95 monthly subscription model that allowed it to rocketship to a one-time $200 million valuation nearly two years ago.Local Stop & Shop customers with reusable bag sale no longer get back 5 cents per bag.

In exchange, they will get access to shoes at 10 to 25 percent off their retail price, according to JustFab CEO Adam Goldenberg, as well as free shipping and exclusive access to merchandise and sales.
