Seems like we have same amount of patio sets as when season started and the clearance prices aren't that great for clearance in fact some prices appear to be the last sale price put on yellow paper.
When does the " Christmas Shop" items usually come in?
Nothing unusual about getting Christmas. Stores start to receive Christmas in august or sooner. Just because you have it doesn't mean it's due to be displayed yet. At Kmart we regularly get valentines candy in December, but that doesn't mean we put it out!
We here in michigan have already started to get christmas into our store as of yesterday's truck.. Also Snow Throwers , Btw Are Old Models , boxes covered in dust .. empty out the warehouse at the TDC .. Liquidation folks
It's only aug 1st! Give me a break, is this your first year? Seasonal goes down little by little every few weeks. Christmas is usually due to be set up sometime in September
They always do that! Clearance only means you change the color paper! I remember a few years back we had Christmas decor at 65% off up until 12/24. On 12/26 it went on clearance for 50% off. We sold more on clearance then we did on sale even though the prices were higher. Customers are generally not very smart lol, although these days with smart phone people are starting to wise up!
The patio just went clearance on everything sunday we havent sold much 1 set yesterday, im in michigan
