New data does show some signs that shoppers for higher than the past few years the products in the greater degree. Abercrombie & Fitchalso run low Aeropostale claiming &f storage shopping return to this season. Saxophone and Macy 's are expected to be revealed in the shop for more than a year more open earnings, and is thus target, but mostly through its brand credit card deducted. Assuming that these showed that, in the holiday shopping trend, the bottom line is likely to be worse than expected better.
That’s still not true in electronics, however. The deep competition, probably most felt with online retailers, drove heavy discounts on almost-flat sales. That seems a little unusual, given the innovation and new products available, but most of those were higher-ticket items anyway — iPads, Xbox and the new Kinect systems, and the ubiquitous big-screen TVs, where the most aggressive discounting appears to have taken place. It may be that consumers purchased more but limited their buys to smaller-ticket items, which would produce a boost for clothing and perhaps jewelry on the lower end, but leave electronics and home furnishings to flat or incrementally improved sales, which is what Spending Pulse reported.
So far, the news looks good from the holiday retail season, although again, the final judgment relies on the bottom line, not the top line. At least consumers seem ready to return to the modestly-good levels of spending seen in 2007 for a few weeks, and if so, the major retailers should survive well for another year on the momentum.
