Special Guest Post by Everybody Loves Coupons: Winter Trends Bode Well for Spring Sales
Time to git yr learnin on! Everybody Loves Coupons, of UltimateCoupons.com fame, is a blog about, what else, coupons: how to use 'em, where to get 'em, and saving serious cash with 'em. But lurking inside this unassuming blog are some surprisingly well-researched and interesting articles about the economy, seasonal trends, and our future as a society. So take a gander and then you can say, "Hey Ma! I's smart!"
Retailers getting ready to roll out spring seasonal sections are feeling more optimistic now than they did in 2009 as sales trends continue to point toward a long-awaited recovery. The U.S. Commerce Department reported that retail sales for January inched up 0.5 percent to $355.8 billion, slightly better than the 0.3 percent increase that was forecast and an improvement over the 0.1 percent decline in December.
"This is decent news considering just how bad the labor market is," said Adam York, an analyst with Wells Fargo. "We had gains in most of the categories and the real strength was in general merchandise sales."
