Holiday Retail
Retailers can expect a subdued holiday shopping season, says the National Retail Federation (NRF). The group expects retail sales to increase just 5 percent over last year. By comparison, holiday sales rose 6.1 percent in 2005. Still, your retail shop could out sell the competition by delivering three things that please holiday shoppers:
Offer gift cards or gift certificates that shoppers can buy as presents Be sure customer service is in tip-top shape, with plenty of knowledgeable and friendly staff Bundle several products to provide gift boxes and baskets
