More Retailers including Walmart, Walgreens and others
are marketing the H1N1 vaccine to lure more customers
into their stores. In return, they will play a bigger

come into the store and look around on what these retailers
have to offer.CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY.

I love to shop, I love to shop cheap. And now more than ever,
dollar shops are popping up everywhere. And at the time
right time, when customers are more penny savy and need to
save money. I went to the 99 cent store recently and found
some great deals on alot of products. From drugs to deodrants,
you can buy a lot of things for a lot cheaper prices. Retail
blog is all about those kinda experiences and I have learned
from it. Every penny counts in this economy at the current time.
So If you want to save more, I suggest going to the dollar stores,
you can find great items for really cheap.

Radioshack will be renamed as The Shack, trying to be
pulled away from the radio part that didn’t really
make sense to be anyway. They will focus on
selling tons of mobile devices to boost
their numbers once again in this tough
economic climate. I think its a good idea but
I am thinking that it’s quiet late of some
name changes. The Shack does sound better but
will it pull consumers into their stores,
that’s the real question.

U.S. Postal service is getting ready and studying to close more than

retail holiday season . So most customers that will
go out and shop will have to fight for the gifts they are looking
for this upcoming holiday season. I thought this was going to

for the last couple of months, retailers have to be very careful
of not over ordering this season.

Now Til september 5th, if you go to Foot Locker and buy
footwear or apparel from Footlocker, You will get a coupon good

going back to school or college. This combo will help
both retailers out big time to boost their earnings and
also help consumers with their spending.

From how things are going, and the turmoil that the auto industry is in, I wouldn’t be surprised if wallstreet is next in line for obama of shaking things up. Obama might make changes to toughen the laws that the wall street gurus might not look, only time will tell.

After watching their former ceo resign after a request from president barack obama, the fate of GM hangs in the balance of what could be a tough 2 months ahead. With the car sales at a all time low, the chances of GM coming out of this bankruptcy is looking very clear. Hopefully sales to pick up, but they have to work together and try to figure out what important things that they must do to cut the costs and remain profitable in the future. I think they have a lot of work to do and not enough time to do with a company as big as GM.
