Countdown to Christmas begins...

I imagine ridiculously, obscene, scary, funny costumes and regrets making its way are on your to-buy list this time of year, but done forget what is right around the corner? Crisp mornings, Cars that won't start, snow that wont shovel itself, and one slippery accident away from cursing. Yes. It's Winter (aka Christmas and some spring love making LOL 12-9 = 3). Gifts in 2015 are a digital revolution still in the making ( on mobile devices and through Internet).

Have you ever ended up at the store on Christmas eve looking to pick up a gift ? We all have I am sure. If not, round of applause to you!! If I used emoticon you'd see my gratitude. You can find daily deals digitally. No more late night drives to stores but welcome one click away shopping. Cutting out Coupons should have left when boots with Fur left (got to appreciate those aussies) . Did you know the share of internet users has astronomically grown since 2008?  Yes the dreadful of recession of 09 affected business owners in store sales. Demand shrunk and supply grew causing inventory to be overstocked. So what opportunity grew ? Online retail. Distribution channels via online sales was born. Return of Postal services perhaps.

Lets keep it to the basics (Marketing is a set of plans designed to build effective customer relationships). And when the amount of disposal income in society reduces, less consumer spending occurs. Retail stores had to redesign the way business worked in order to sustain sales plus maintain customer relationships.  For those who companies that didn't or have yet too, three letters R.I.P.

People work. People go home. Simple right ? The only advance in the chain has been the integration of technology.

Therefore why not add one more chain to the link. People work. People go home. People go online or surf the web.

Hence, you can now find better deals glancing at online stores daily year round. Its a simple process. Add the item to your cart, and wait till the optimal price appears then select to buy the item when convenient. You can literally start shopping for Christmas in February. Simple and better yet economically friendly.

Now the real question, do you have online stores in mind ??

If not, here is my recommendations:

Amazon - Easy, Secure, Reliable

Groupon - Innovative company (Personally used numerous times travelling overseas, highly recommended)

Those are my recommendations. Great customer service and secure protection of sensitive information. If you decide otherwise, good luck with your search. In conclusion,  save yourself some time on last minute gift shopping. Save a dollar here, invest a dollar there.
