“fast #fashion” ~ Shoppers gets the concept @Hukkster:

The world of fashion is fast; trends move from the runway onto the rack at the nearest retail store with such speed, it has coin the phrase “fast fashion”, it does not even begin to describe the ever-churning cycle that stores go through to remain up-to-date. Some retail websites capitalizes on deals at the end of the cycle — selling off high-end excess from past seasons at ultra clearance prices.

Bargain-seekers may be in luck, New York-based company Hukkster are aware that Retailers are ineffectively trying to reach consumers about deals and discounts.  Hukkster aim to fix the "huge disconnect" between consumers and retailers, bringing the "power back to the shopper". Hukkster are tackling deals in a different way, by approaching fast fashion — in the middle of the cycle, rather than the end.

Allowing customers/shoppers to capitalize on the best deals online for purchase of their favorites once the item hit the sale section.

Hukkster is a free shopping tool that tracks products online for users and notifies them via email, text message, and/or push notification as soon as those products go on sale or when a coupon code or promotion is applicable: How it Works! 


You can choose whether to be alerted when the item goes on sale in general, drops at least 25% or drops at least 50%.  It's way more effective than reminding yourself to check the price later only to abandon your virtual shopping cart. It's perfect for stuff you don't need, but want when it's on sale.

 Shoppers are getting the concept! Hukkster has some 40,000 users, who can “hukk” merchandise from more than 1,000 retailers, including  J.Crew, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.  If you hate paying full price on items you love, let Hukkster introduce you to the next big way to save when shopping!

Meet The Team; 
Hukkster founders, Katie and Erica, met in 2007 while waist high digging through polo shirts and seersucker shorts in the sample closet at J.Crew. Working side by side as merchandisers, the duo formed an instant bond over their love for fashion and New York City. Five years later, Katie and Erica traded in their nautical stripes for tailored suits and the hectic lifestyle of management consulting. Lacking free time, the two savvy shoppers began to commiserate over their email inboxes that overflowed with deals and special offers. Katie and Erica were intent on accessing the latest trends at affordable prices, but could not find the time to sort through all of these offers for the diamond in the rough:
