New Blog Design

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Last year, Store Supply rolled out a blog for independent retailers. It was our goal to develop a place where retailers could find information about the industry and could ask questions about retail design and supplies.

After being live for a year, we have reviewed our blogging efforts and listened to feedback about what our customers liked and didn’t like. It was clear that you wanted a space that was more interactive and directly spoke to what was going on in the retail industry.

That is why we are rolling out an enhanced design and format for the Store Supply blog. Including:

  • Interactive polls asking for feedback about products and services
  • A Q&A section
  • A section featuring our current popular products
  • More industry news
  • Videos about our customers and products

Most of all, we want your feedback about the types of articles that you want to see. So please leave a comment to let us know what type of information you want to see on the Store Supply Blog. And fill out the poll to the right of this article.

Retail News Update: Halloween Retail Sales Rise

Friday, October 16th, 2009

In an uncertain retail market some store owners may be hesitant to invest in more expensive merchandise and advertising this season. However, a recent article by the St. Louis Post Dispatch titled, “Bustling Halloween market has retailers seeing back” reports that customers are expected to spend more than $50 on Halloween this year.

The article features retailers from Halloween store owners to haunted house operators to pumpkin farms. They all report that profits are expected to match and even top last year’s sales. One Halloween retail store said their sales are up 20 percent from the same time last year.

With a majority of Halloween spending taking place in the last two weeks of October, it’s not too late to cash in on this holiday surge in spending.
