Thanks, and Black Friday
The lots were full today.
Not just Best Buy, Walmart* , Costco and the like but Office Depot!
Now I cannot convert that into $$ or trends, but it looked pretty positive.
Based on four conversations in the Costco gas line, they were bargain seekers. But of course, ALL of the ads focus on the deals so the consumers WOULD be looking for the deal.
It also looked like Trader Joe’s was doing quite a business and they had an ad or two focused on Black Friday.
I did NOT see Jewel or Dominick’s participating nor did I see a lot of CPG led ad efforts. One might have thought….but.
I also did not see a lot of Grocery bloggers out there today. I DID see quite a few other bloggers about today, focused on the retailers who were focused on gaining customers today.
One more thing….Thanks!
Thanks to all of the folks who have bought, tried, and supported the ShelfSnap efforts throughout 2009 and given us reinforcement as we try to bring this important new innovation to an industry in the headwinds of times where it is too easy to lower one’s eyes and hope risk passes them by. The great news is that we are having very significant business impact for those who have engaged!
Gobble gobble!
