Happy Holidays!By Abby (Kleckler) McGarry

It’s Christmas Eve! All of the shopping is done (or like me you’re frantically running around), businesses will close early today and remain closed tomorrow, and it’ll be smooth sailing into 2015. Right? Maybe not exactly.

Friday – the day after Christmas – will be the second heaviest traffic day of the year for retailers, according to ShopperTrak. This means it is busier than Black Friday and only second to Super Saturday on Dec. 20. Can you believe that?

Do you have special post-holiday deals? Do you amp up your sales staff? Come this weekend, I’d love to know if the day was as busy for you as experts predicted.

Signage Sifting

When you snap out of your Christmas cookie coma, grab your camera or smartphone to snap some photos of signage that works great in your IGC.

Do you have digital signs? Unique ways to promote a certain department? I want to see them. And I want to feature them in an upcoming issue of Lawn & Garden Retailer. Send your best shots to [email protected].

Have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy New Year from all of us here at Lawn & Garden Retailer.

Cheers,

Abby
