We are done with August, and school has started but the thermometer says,” go jump in a pool and cool off!” Not so in the world of retail marketing. Labor Day has passed and we are headed toward Halloween, just look in the stores. Many have had Christmas out for weeks, and due to the pressure to start selling Christmas earlier and earlier, poor old Thanksgiving gets left behind when it comes to holiday marketing. You have to look quickly to spot a turkey or a Pilgrim hat before the winter wonderland takes over. Although, I would welcome a real snow storm about now to cool things off, I wish we could all slow down and maybe enjoy living in the moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow can wait. We have today, so be a part of it and enjoy each minute.
