Ellen Davis Retailers Quotations

Many malls will spend weeks, if not months, to start setting up. Many retailers are just trying to get a head start on the holidays so that when they arrive, they'll have everything decorated and in place.

Small retailers don't have that kind of a luxury. That said, smaller retailers usually have a better pulse on their stores.

If you look at the retailers that went all out on Friday, many of them opened at 5 a.m. You did not see a lot of malls doing that.

If you really want it, you better buy it when you see it. Last year, most consumers procrastinated. This year, retailers will try to get people in early with great deals and deep discounts.
