Bozeman, MT – January 15, 2013 - FitFrosting, the newest player in the flash sale space, joins the likes of other members-only shopping platforms today with the launch of its first sale events catered to the fitness set. Initially, the site will host five to six one-week long sales per week offering edgy, fashionable workout gear aimed at the urban yogi.
“Fitness fanatics can expect a mix of established brands like Hyde Yoga and B-Up as well as to discover activewear up-and-comers like Nesh, Nina B. Roze, and Prima Studio,” says FitFrosting founder Hilary Hohne, who cites her personal over-spending on activewear as fueling the company launch.
“I was always waiting for the fitness sales on Gilt and Rue La La,” Hohne goes on, “and I knew I couldn’t be the only one.”
After more research and in-market campaigns to test viability, Hohne uncovered a real demand for a channel like FitFrosting to serve the $15 billion annual US women’s activewear market.
Hohne brings nearly a decade of experience in the health/wellness online start-up space, most recently running an online digital marketing consulting firm, DigitalMoxxy, focused on serving online media start-ups with a women’s wellness bent.
“I knew there was a hole to fill, my experience lent itself to building the audience, and as it’s said ‘everything else is figure-out-able’”, she says.
Hohne’s experience also includes early-stage at DailyWorth and Ideal Bite (sold to Disney in 2008). She will be supported by a small team – including former Ideal Bite colleague and FitFrosting co-founder, Brett DeWoody - all based in Bozeman, Mont. Marketing and customer acquisition will be led by Ember Hansen of DigitalMoxxy.
