Random Retail Rambling:
I don’t know about anyone else, but the January thaw often gets me into
a mini spring-cleaning mood. Except that, instead of cleaning, I think of
replacing old sheets and towels, and sort of spiffing up the joint.
Well, the thaw has come and gone, with nary a new towel in sight. That’s
the trouble with the January thaw. It’s unpredictable. If you’re a retailer,
you don’t know when to plan your white sale.
However: The next time that is a fairly sure bet for good weather is
around President’s Day.
Retailers have sales on President’s Day, of course.
So if I were a retailer, I would lay the groundwork early, and encourage
people to make their inventories during the thaw (whenever it might happen),
with the promise of a blowout white sale/home décor sale for President’s Day.
If other people are like me, except motivated, the retailers could clean up.
Who knows? It could work.
