In this series of reports, 1010data, a leader in analytical intelligence and provider of consumer transaction data to hedge funds and other asset managers, will release analysis on data derived from their proprietary data sets surrounding the Holiday retail season, both present and historical. This first report provides historical commentary on Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales, online and in-store, with an eye toward what retailers might expect for the forthcoming 2019 Black Friday weekend. All data utilized in this report was sourced from 1010data’s Credit Card Transaction dataset, an anonymized panel tracking the spend of millions of U.S. consumers, and its TickerView Visits dataset, an anonymized panel tracking the store traffic of tens of millions of U.S. consumers. 2 HOLIDAY REPORT #1 What happEnEd on Black Friday last yEar? As Black Friday approaches, the same two headlines appear over and over: online shopping’s takeover, and the death of Black Friday, as retailers start sales earlier. The stories tend to be anchored by giants such as Amazon and Walmart. These retailers dominate spend around Black Friday—just as they do throughout the year. In our analysis of previous Black Friday weekend performance, therefore, we first examined the two mega-retailers. As uncovered with our panel (see figure 1), over Black Friday weekend 2018, Walmart’s and Amazon’s sales accounted for 10 percent of total discretionary spending.

  • Tips and Tricks for Shopping Local This Holiday Season
    Tips and Tricks for Shopping Local This Holiday Season This year alone, the National Retail Federation estimates that Americans will spend $730.7 billion on holiday shopping—an increase of up to 4.2% from 2018. It’s the biggest holiday shopping season of the year, and although plenty of big-box retailers offer deep discounts in stores and online in the weeKs and months before the winter holidays, it’s the dollars spent at local businesses that will have the greatest impact on you and your community. That’s because when you spend your money at a locally owned business, more of those dollars stay within the local economy. Plus, since small businesses donate an average of 250 percent more to community causes than larger businesses, according to the Seattle Good Business Network, buying local is truly the gift that keeps on giving. As your credit union, we believe in supporting you – our members – as well as the community we call home. Before setting out for your next shopping excursion, consider these tips for shopping local this holiday season. Support Main Street Credit unions support Main Street, not Wall Street. When you bank with a credit union, you’re living that philosophy. So why not go even further with it? Load the family into the car and spend a Saturday downtown, exploring and supporting our local businesses. You’ll be glad you did – plus you’ll cut down on shipping fees! Shop at Local Arts and Crafts Festivals The holiday season is a popular time for local arts and crafts festivals, where community artists and business owners gather to showcase handmade gifts and goodies you won’t find anywhere else.

Left: The First Christmas Tree, the Oak of Geismar, drawn by Howard Pyle, for a story by that title, by Henry van Dyke in Scribner’s Magazine, Dec. 1891. Pictured is Saint Boniface, in A.D. 772, directing Norsemen to where the tree is to be placed. Right: First Lighted Christmas Tree, said to have been in the home of Martin Luther, in 1510, or maybe 1535. Some scholars claim the first Christmas tree was put on display near Rega, in Latvia, in 1530. Or maybe near Tallinn, in Estonia, in 1510. In the USA, there’s more to Christmastime than Christmas Traveling abroad, Grampa notices most natives tend to resemble one another and share a similar culture. Not here in the USA. Our residents come in virtually every race, creed, skin color and geographic origin. In our country, at this time of year, we celebrate a variety of holidays, in a wide variety of ways. There’s the Feast of the Nativity, aka Christmas, of course. Most celebrate it Dec. 25; others on Jan. 6. Hindus celebrate their 5th day of Pancha Ganapati Dec. 25. There’s Chanukah. Or is it spelled Hanukkah? And let’s not forget Kwanzaa, several year- ending African American holidays invented in 1966 in Long Beach, Calif. Sunni Muslims say Mohammad’s birthday is Dec. 24 this year.

  • Weekly Briefing
    Placentia, Ca City Administrator's Weekly Briefing From: Damien R. Arrula November 14, 2019 “Rich Heritage, Bright Future” Measure U Funded Street Maintenance Underway Construction began this week on the FY 2019-20 Residential Slurry Seal Phase I Project. This Measure U funded project will slurry seal more than 1.8 million square feet of residential streets in three different neighborhoods. The damp weather temporarily halted this week’s construction, but the project is still anticipated to be completed on time and will continue over the next week. Slurry seal is a preventative maintenance surface treatment designed to extend the useful service life of road pavement. The streets receiving this treatment are generally rated in good condition, so it’s critically important to provide preventative maintenance. As long as a pavement surface is resealed on a regular basis, the useful service life of that street can be extended almost indefinitely. Slurry seal treatments are also extremely cost effective, between 30 and 40 cents per square foot. However, if the pavement surface is never maintained and needs to be completely redone, it will cost more than $1.40 per square foot to re-pave it. This project is a first in a series of street maintenance and rehabilitation projects budgeted by the City Council this fiscal year. A larger slurry seal project covering more than 2.6 million square feet is currently in design, as well as 800,000 square feet of arterial roadway pavement rehabilitation. Both of these projects are expected to be in construction by Summer 2020. Every street in Placentia will be addressed within 5-7 years.
