Engraving Bottles at Lululemon Austin: A Day In The Life!
When it comes to combining luxury branding with a personal touch, few experiences are as memorable as live engraving at an in-store event. I recently had the pleasure of partnering with Lululemon in Austin for an in-store activation to celebrate Tax-Free Weekend, and I’m thrilled to share the highlights of this exciting event with you.
A Day at Lululemon: A Dream Collaboration
From the moment I arrived at the Lululemon store in Austin, the energy was electric. Shoppers were buzzing with excitement over the weekend's promotions, and the idea of having their purchases customized added an extra layer of anticipation. As someone who’s always admired Lululemon’s commitment to quality and community, being part of this experience felt like the perfect match.
Before the event kicked off, Lululemon graciously invited me to do a bit of shopping. After browsing through the store’s stylish selection, I picked out an all-black set that was both chic and functional, along with a white tennis skirt that I couldn’t resist. To me, these pieces not only embodied Lululemon’s sleek and modern aesthetic —a blend of comfort and style.
Bringing Personalization to the People
As the event got underway, I set up my engraving station with Lululemon-branded steel water bottles at the ready. The reactions from the customers were nothing short of amazing. Whether it was a gift for a loved one or a treat for themselves, each engraving added a unique and personal touch that customers could cherish. The water bottles, already a symbol of Lululemon’s dedication to high-quality, functional products, became even more special with the custom engravings.
The Lululemon staff were just as enthusiastic, lining up to have their bottles personalized and showing off the finished products to their colleagues and customers alike. The excitement in the store was contagious, and I loved every minute of helping to create these lasting memories.
A Heartfelt Thank You
What truly made the event special was the incredible feedback I received. The hiring manager sent a touching note that perfectly captured the spirit of the day:
"I just wanted to send you a quick thank you!!! Everyone was raving about your work, and our guests LOVED getting to have their Lululemon items customized. … Hopefully, we’ll get to partner again... Thank you again! You contributed to such a successful weekend for us, and we appreciate you so much!"
This kind of feedback is exactly why I love what I do. Knowing that my work contributed to such a successful and enjoyable weekend for both customers and staff means the world to me.
