In the spirit of the retail season, with only weeks to go until Christmas, I offer
these four Christmas sales tips to entice shoppers into your store (and out of the
big boxes). 1) Offer one big bargain a day. Offering big discounts (30% or more)
on some one well-known item each day to bring Christmas shoppers in can work for
you if you have well-known brand merchandise or particular items that people are
looking for. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(140, 140, 106); font-style: italic;
