Macys Closing 11 Stores- Nationwide

Macy's closing 11 stores

Ok...You might be asking yourself, isn't this a weird topic to be
on our site and what the heck is it doing here?

Well, the answer is multi-layered.

First, there is timely information hidden in this news...the trend
and transition from driving over to the Mall and driving Traffic to
the Internet e-commerce Mall.

While Macy's retail store sales declined 4% year over year (sales
December 2008 vs. store sales December 2007, that was not even
close to the case for Macy's Online Store...

One bright spot for the company came in online sales at macys.com
and bloomingdales.com, where sales were up by 39.1 % in December,
by 26 percent in the November-December period and by 30.1 % for
the year to date. This info speaks for itself in the catagory of "Trends."

Our second reason for the Macy's alert is, if you live near these
stores, it is expected that Macy's will have big discount bargains
with the sales due to begin next week.

They carry electronics and accessories and, while we cannot speak
for the corporations plans of how they will liquidate stock at these
stores, they do carry Digital Cameras, DVD players, home theatre
sound systems, headphones, i Pod accessories, MP3 and CD players,
phones and other items that all could apply to your home-based
internet marketing business.

Good deals will help you expand your home-based business as well
as possibly helping you expand your business credit.
