Christmas on Main Street

by James L. Sweaney, CGA, FGA. GG on November 14, 2009

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. We retail jewelers all look forward to having a busy and profitable holiday season, but dread the long hours and hard work. Our open air walking mall was the perfect place for a kickoff party for the upcoming holidays. Lots of folks in the store, schmoozing and buying, a little wine, snacks and treats, live country music, crisp winter air– 55 degrees is a wintery Southern California  eve!– and new merchandise to talk about– what more could a shopkeeper want! Read our account of an promotional event that according to most of our local merchants, was a big success. This one was fun, and not real spendy– about $500 out of pocket covered food, wine, and mailing.
