It’s that time of year again, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is coming!
Annually people freak the eff out over the Anniversary sale. Granted there is a lot to be excited about with the Anniversary Sale. However, I want to start this NSale season by being fully transparent with you guys.
Many bloggers, present company included, share so much about the Nordstrom sale because it’s a HUGE moneymaker for us. Nordstrom via affiliate networks pays upwards of 10% commission during the sale. This means that if you click on a link here on NorthwestBlonde and end up making a purchase through that link, I make a 10% or so commission on your final sale total. During the sale, my affiliate income spikes much like it does during the holiday season.
I shared more about affiliate networks on this post and on the Fine Print page which you can find here. But in a nutshell, your clicking on links and shopping via my blog helps make me money so it’s in my best interest to be as helpful as possible for you ladies. At the same time, I don’t want to beat you over the head with it, and to be even more honest, I’m not a huge shopper, don’t own a Nordstrom card, and will probably only buy a couple, as in one or two, things for myself and maybe a handful of other things for Andrew and Teddy.
Finally, if you do end up shopping during the Anniversary Sale or for anything through the links here on NorthwestBlonde, thank you! You are directly supporting me and this blog every time you click. I appreciate it so much because I know that you have so many options, especially when it comes to things like the Anniversary Sale.
So knowing all of that, let’s jump into the details behind the NSale!
Why Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
First things first. Why do people care so much about the Anniversary sale? Well, Nordstrom makes an annual splash by marking down all their brand new, never-before-seen fall inventory BEFORE the season even starts. This means you can save money by shopping for fall now rather than waiting until the end of the season when things are normally marked down. It ends up being a double win. You get to save money AND wear your new fall clothes all season long.
Another reason to shop the sale is that a lot of higher price point items and brands that don’t normally go on sale are included. Annually Nordstrom rolls out designer denim and designer handbags at steep discounts.
Who Can Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
Anyone in the US and Canada can shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That being said, Nordstrom cardmembers do get first access. You can apply for either a Nordstrom debit or credit card here. But let me reiterate, you DO NOT NEED a Nordstrom card to shop the sale. Personally, I’m not a Nordstrom cardholder and I’ve never had any issues getting my hands on hot-ticket items as they restock before public access starts.
When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
The sale preview starts July 6. Then your cardholder status will determine when you can shop between July 12-July 27. And finally, the public can shop starting July 28th-August 8th. But like I mentioned earlier, don’t think that you’ll miss out on all the best deals just because you don’t have a Nordstrom card. They regularly restock prior to public access.
What Can We Expect From You During the Anniversary Sale?
Here’s my plan for Anniversary sale coverage. I’m planning on sharing affordable, timeless pieces that I think are worth the money. I’ll probably have one post each for my picks, Andrew’s favorites, kid and baby products, and clean beauty products. I also like to highlight items in the sale that I already own and use regularly. If you want to see anything else from me, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know!
