Is the ‘Traditional’ Brick and Mortar Store Becoming Extinct?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Holiday. In the past, (as a former specialty store owner myself) I would have been working all weekend, promoting a ‘Labor Day’ Sales Event. Television ads, radio ads, and print ads in local newspapers would have been de rigueur. But then again, that was over ten years ago…and a lot has changed…especially the mediums that would comprise a successful marketing/sales campaign. That should be obvious in this the age of social media…but for some it is not.

With kids back in school, families are forgoing the Great Outdoors for home-based camping adventures, including backyard sleepovers, scout gatherings, slumber parties, and preschool nap camps. The Giggle Guide® presents fun camp gear, including flashlights fashioned from Legos by Play Visions, innovative nap mats from My NapPak, Pacific Play Tents for housing active imaginations, and even a new way to roast marshmallows with the Spinmallow. These products are perfect for playful pastimes at a kid-friendly campground where reservations are never needed – the family living room!

I am a mom on a mission, and my passion is to not just take measures for myself and my family to make this world a better tomorrow, but rather to inspire and assist other moms in doing so. Being the founder and organizer of the company Greenbuds, my mission is to enable all parents with budget restraints (and who doesn’t have any, in today’s economy!) to still give the best to their children.

Snackers of all ages can grab finger foods on the go without worrying abut spilling food on their clothes, when they use The Krumbler from Green Giraffes. This durable cloth napkin can be placed over the lap or tied around the neck to catch falling crumbs and keep splashes of drinks from staining clothes. The ties on the sides are designed to allow for easy roll up after eating so the Krumbler can be stowed in a bag and taken anywhere.

Sustainability is still a buzzword in the gifts and decorative accessories industry, and it’s not too late to green your store — if even by just a little bit.

There are two ways to go green. The first is obvious — stock eco-friendly products. “Consumers’ interest in green products has not waned, and they are still willing to pay premium price points for quality, stylish and authentically green goods,” according to Home Accents Today.
