As we get ready for Turkey Day and Black Friday, we’re thankful and excited about all the great tips we have to offer you!

Tips: One of the best times to go on sale is the week immediately following Christmas. Don’t wait until January when everyone else is running clearance sales. Many shoppers receive cash for the holidays, and they want to spend it wisely. If you go on sale right after Christmas, you can do some incredible volume.

Another tip: one of the most successful ‘sleeper’ sales we have seen stores do is a Super Bowl sale. Especially good for women’s boutiques.

We predict this shopping season is going to be on the upswing!
