It is an experience like no other to see shoppers from the five boroughs and as far away as China, Australia, the Middle East and the U.K. all coming to share in the official start of the holiday shopping season with us.”

She continues, “As a personal shopper at the World’s Largest Store, I am on stand-by to help shoppers find exactly what they are looking for, and in a store that is over 1 million square-feet of selling space with millions of SKU’s (stock keeping unit) on 11 selling floors, navigating our flagship can prove to be daunting, especially with the crowds that we annually see but my team and I are up for the task. “

This holiday season, shoppers can treat themselves to a personal shopper, once a service reserved for celebrities or the elite, now available to anyone who is short on time and needs less stress when the holiday shopping season officially begins on Black Friday. Candice adds, “We know the store inside and out, and can pinpoint exactly where a particular dress or shirt may be. With My Stylist at Macy’s, customers can save time and money while they take the stress out of shopping this holiday season, the service is fun, fast and free.”

The complimentary service offers shoppers the latest trends in fashion and accessories, the perfect look for any occasion, as well as, offering corporate sales services for work-related gifting. Extending savings to all, corporate discounts can apply based on volume purchases where available.
