Holiday Merchandising...
Each year, retailers are figuring out new ways to cash in on all of the end of the year Holidays!!
The biggest issue that I have is that all of the Halloween costumes and scary tombstones are on the very next aisle, or in some cases on the same aisle, as Christmas ornaments and Nativity Scenes. Not to mention that somewhere shoved in between Halloween and Christmas is the harvest themed items for Thanksgiving.
It's a BIG gimmick to jump start consumers into early spending. It's too bad that we can't enjoy Thanksgiving first, and then roll out the
Christmas Season.
It's time to reverse the gimmicks, and start afresh, by allowing consumers time to take in and enjoy each Holiday!
Remember to Thank God for every blessing, and enjoy time with your family and loved ones. Over extend your love instead of your pocketbook this year.
Blessings to All!!
