and every store throughout the company does this daily and we have annual
'wow awards," she adds.
Examples of 'wow' customer service
provided at fab'rik include replacing a
customer's wardrobe after her house
burned down, helping a boyfriend of a
customer plan the perfect engagement,
walking customers to their car, donating to a customer's charity and sending

them a bottle of wine if they're dining at

Votivo is honored that fab'rik chooses to brand its stores
with tried and true fragrances from the Votivo Aromatic
Collection, such as Red Currant and Clean Crisp White.
When a consumer visits fab'rik, they're invited to experience

store. Lighting a Red Currant candle in the store is part of
fab'rik's store opening checklist. Since 2006, fab'rik founder
and CEO, Dana Spinola, has brought affordable, high style to
women around the nation. Votivo proudly supports Spinola's efforts and will continue to be a proud supporter of
fab'rik boutiques.
