SHOPPING SMALL INSTEAD OF PRIME

We love the way you support our business with your business.

  • Coming in for a service
  • Following us and commenting on Alayne’s (too old in a good way to be posting) posts on social media.
  • Responding to review asks after a product purchase
  • Randomly recommending us to a friend
  • Unsolicited Google reviews
  • Coming in to purchase product even though we don’t always make it easy to shop this way with our ever changing walk in hours
  • Shopping for products online with us at alaynewhite.com
  • Reading Alayne’s blogs and sharing them with your friends
  • Signing up for our latest service of the month when we launch them
  • Making an appointment for a GROWN UP MAKEUP LESSON
  • Coming to an event
  • Using Alayne’s garden before and after a service to sit and ponder life instead of scrolling through your phone.
  • Texting Alayne with an order and letting her create and bill you to make it as easy as possible

So many different ways we appreciate your kindness to our business

This keeps small business in business.

The one major way to continue to support us and small business in general is to make the extra effort to shop with small business; we are so thankful that we get to say, 26 years later, we are still standing.

We cannot compete with Amazon’s deep discounts or the very companies we align ourselves with such as Glo and Dermalogica and all of the other companies that vie for your dollars and attention.

It is financially impossible to match 25-30% discounts. We would be out of business. However those discounts that lure you into shopping with them instead of small business creates a conundrum as we cannot sustain our business if people don’t shop with us.

This is why I personally pack and ship orders all over the country with lots of fun loving swag and extra feel good items that helps you feel like you just came in for a treatment on those times you can’t make it in here to receive the love we love to give.

As tempting as they are, those PRIME DAYS you are seeing in your email create empty storefronts in otherwise vibrant small towns.

What you are paying for when you decide to grace the presence of the Alayne White 11 Constitution St red door is service when you decide to type alaynewhite.com into your search bar instead of using the much easier to use apps screaming for your attention. When you type alaynewhite.com, your small protest that says I want small businesses to keep the lights on.

I know that the discounts we give when you are a customer here are not the 25% and even if you shop just this once, we lose a cycle or 2 or 3 of you when you are likely stocking up with our recommendations.

I understand the temptation and I wanted to use this blog today to send out a little reminder that if you can avoid refilling with those companies and instead shop with the small businesses you have enjoyed, you are directly responsible in making the small different that keeps us in business.

15% DISCOUNT ON ALL GLO PRODUCTS UNTIL JULY 31, 2024

Thank you for all you do. We appreciate you.

I love Alayne’s business. My skin has never looked so good and I’m in my late 60’s. My esthetician Kristina is soooo good. She recommends what I need to use and teaches me how to use the products. She takes very good care of my skin and I am forever grateful that I am able to enjoy this luxury. Alayne’s energy is mind blowing. Love her positive attitude!
