Sales At A Glance: Monday, Nov. 17, 2008
Posted by Loobalee in Children's Clothing: What's On Sale
Nov|17|2008
This is a busy sale time of the year and a challenge to keep on top of all the promotions in just children’s apparel (let alone all the other holiday shopping categories).Between the emails, the catalogs, and the postcards, it’s a rapid-fire with many promotions only lasting a couple of days. All to get the attention of the holiday shopper.
Black Friday and Thanksgiving weekend is closing in – just 11 days away. We’d love to hear about any info you have on Black Friday promotions from the retailers covered in this article. We already know that Gymboree is offering special deals on Friday, Nov. 28.
