Mobile shopping is really taking off in ways even I didn’t know.
I hardly shop on my phone, but a lot of consumers are finding
it easier and less stressful to just shop via their phones.
Ebay is leading the way. If you have the ebay application on your
phone, you can bid on literally anything you want with ease. I
sense more websites will have this friendly application for
their sites making it a money maker in a long run.CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY.

Retailers including Target, Office Depot, Staples, and some other’s
will start offering discounts if you use their own credit card. From
percentage discounts, to giving away freebies. With the retail sales
not being as solid as it supposed to be, this is a great idea
for retailers to boost sales. With the job losses, and job
market not being what it used too, retailers can’t count on even
congress to help the consumers with the issues at hand. The whole
credit card idea is very smart, it will lure consumers into their
favorite retail stores, and at the same time give discounts to lure
them back in the future.CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY.

Blockbuster video has been trying to get back up to it’s feet
after losing millions of dollars in revenue and closing many
video stores across the US. But it’s still moving along, trying to
open up rental kiosks similiar to redbox. On top of that, they will
also focus on video games as a good revenue earner. Overall, I hope
they survive and get back to their feet and focus back to what
made, even tho they will be closing more retail stores in the
near future.CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY.

Rising costs and wage increase in China only means one thing. Look to
other countries where labor is cheap, shipping is cheap, ok

business out there.CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY.
