  • Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 a Report Looking at What We Can Expect from Black Friday and the Online Retail Christmas Trading Peak in 2017
    Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 A report looking at what we can expect from Black Friday and the online retail Christmas trading peak in 2017 A report researched & compiled by IMRG, supported by INTRODUCTION – A SETTLED PEAK PERIOD? When we talk about Christmas peak in retail, these days we tend to mean Black Friday. Or at least the Black Friday period, to be more accurate. There are other peaks of course, but that’s become the one that really matters for many. It’s been fascinating to watch this event evolve over the past few years. The scale of it is so huge that it appears to be a bit uncontrollable. Its character changes, the period it covers extends (might it contract again?), tactics and strategies adapt to suit this new format of peak trading. And therein lies part of the problem. It’s such an important time of year for sweeping up a share of the huge (albeit, often discounted) spend that goes through the virtual tills that the approach retailers take does seem to have become a bit safe; a bit uniform. We’ve had 3 years of this new format peak trading now and the first year (2014) was a bit traumatic. Retailers don’t want to (indeed, can’t afford to) miss out on having a successful peak, so they do what seems to work. Andy Mulcahy But – and it’s a big but – this thing doesn’t ever seem to settle into Editor, IMRG a reliably predictable pattern. It’s shown a remarkable capacity for evolving in size and scale each year and the opportunity for innovation is absolutely ripe for those who find clever ways to stand out against their competition.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

  • “It's Looking Like Christmas” Mark 1:1-8 December 6, 2020
    “It’s Looking Like Christmas” Mark 1:1-8 December 6, 2020 “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers have probably all been eaten. Black Friday deals are over. Cyber Monday is done, and Giving Tuesday is past. As we go about our lives, we see that the Christmas decorations are going up, lights are being hung, and people are busy shopping in person or online trying to find the perfect gifts for family and friends. So, how are your preparations going this year? We all know that Christmas can be a busy time of the year with all of the things we need to do, and God definitely understands that quite well. He knows what it is like to prepare for Christmas as He had to prepare the world for His Son’s arrival. In our Old Testament lesson from Isaiah, we see some of those preparations. In Isaiah’s day, about 700 years before Jesus was born, God was already planning the return of His chosen people from Babylon to the land of Israel through the Babylonian King named Cyrus. He was already orchestrating the events to get him into power, and to set into motion the events that would get His people back home. He even had Isaiah write that He would send a messenger who would prepare the way for His Son. Later on, God had the Romans come into power, and they were the ones who practiced crucifixion and put people like Herod and Pontus Pilate into positions of power.

  • Black Friday, Navidad Y Rebajas
    Informe de Criteo sobre la temporada de fiestas: Black Friday, Navidad y Rebajas 2018 Resumen En 2017, Black Friday y Cyber Monday batieron todos los récords de ventas en los EE. UU., logrando una de las temporadas de fiestas más beneficiosas de toda la historia. En Europa también se registró un mayor gasto por parte de los consumidores y eso alentó y entusiasmó a los retailers. Pero lo más destacable del año pasado fue la permanente transformación del sector retail, con consumidores capaces de encontrar increíbles productos cuando quieren y donde quieren, a la velocidad del rayo. Esta temporada de fiestas, crea más instantes únicos e irrepetibles. Con el auge de los estilos de vida en constante movimiento, cada momento cuenta. Tus compradores ya no solo van a tu tienda física o navegan por tu sitio web. Utilizan navegadores de búsqueda, leen reseñas, realizan búsquedas de productos mientras que están en otra tienda. La omnicanalidad es la norma hoy en día. A nivel mundial, más de 3 de cada 4 compradores finalizan compras online que iniciaron offline, y viceversa1. Es imposible saber el journey que seguirán tus compradores. En 2017, las empresas optimizaron sus tiendas físicas con espejos interactivos y montañas rusas de realidad virtual. Ofrecieron coleccionables, merchandising exclusivo y pensaron en cómo hacer sus escaparates más Instagrameables. Añadieron dependientes muy profesionales, apps optimizadas para compras y opciones de entrega más rápidas...todo ello con una clara intención de atraer y enamorar a los consumidores con una experiencia de compra totalmente renovada. Basándonos en los datos de 2017, esto es lo que esperamos en 2018: En 2018 esperamos ver más de lo mismo.
