Holiday Marketing

Were you the one that was shopping before Christmas? Were you shopping online before Halloween? If you were then their marketing worked! I was ½ done by Halloween, doing 90% of my shopping on the net this year worked for me so that shows you their marketing got ME!

Did you watch for the commercials and start making a list by the ads or do you take a risk on the stores and what they are promising and just show up at the doors of Kohl’s at 4am?

I was one of the crazies out there, I stood in line at 2:30 for the store to open at 4:00am, I ran in like a mad woman and just grabbed things off of the shelves that other people were grabbing, I didn’t even look at what I grabbed until I got in line. Make sure you bring a friend or your husband to be the “line keeper”, if he gets in line almost immediately, then once you’re done with your shopping, you should only have to wait in line for 10 minutes or so.

Waiting in lines on black Friday and trying to get through to the some of the websites on Cyber Monday are the hottest things to do now. Next we’ll all be starting to shop for Christmas in July, you just wait, it WILL happen. And yes, I will probably be shopping in July because I am one of “those” people that the marketing works on.
