My Local Target has Already Decorated for the Holidays
September 26, 2008

I understand how important it is to get customer’s in the mood to shop during the holidays—how the white lights and garlands decorated in the window, the cold weather, the coat rack at the front door, and the cheery music get customer’s in the mood for the holidays and more importantly—in the mood to shop. But hold on a minute—Halloween isn’t for another month. It drives me batty when I see stores decorating as early as this and I’m sure it does others too. We usually start decorating the store the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving and take it down by the 5^th or 6^th of January. When do you start your holiday decorating?

The Christmas Decorations in our store go up November 1st. Our first holiday party for our customers is November 7th this year. I want my customers in the holiday sprit and in a buying mood as soon as possible. It's the busiest time of year and I my xmas window has been planned for months and by the end of October I am done with my holiday buying don't have time to change my windows or by jewelry for the store in November.

It's rather gilding the lily to see Christmas decorations in the store when I'm still wearing shorts and flipflops!!! That said, I also can't stand seeing Halloween candy in stores after July 4, or Valentine's candy in stores on December 26. Gee, that's going to be sooo fresh when the time comes to acutally eat it!
