WOW, we made it! HAPPY AND
HEALTHY 2013 TO ALL. I'm feeling very positive about this year. In
the shopping I did for the holiday season, I noticed people of all
ages with arms full of shopping bags and that's a great sign. I must
say that I, along with so many out there, did most of my shopping
online and I see great opportunity and growth in that arena.

Holiday Retail Sales
Armed with new shopping technologies, such as app's and
smartphones, consumers proved to be savvier than ever by employing a
wide range of tactics to ensure that they made smarter purchases over
the holidays. Sources reported that online shopping was up 14%
from last year, and retail stores saw larger crowds as well. This
is a great sign that business is picking up for 2013. And don't
forget, COLOR keeps them coming back to the racks!

Pet Getaways: Have pet, will
travel!
For many people, pets have taken the place of children in
our lives. We pamper them, brag about them and look forward to being
with them every day. So it's no surprise that when it comes to
vacations, one can't leave out little fido.
It's bad enough that our four-legged friends have to be
crammed into dark spaces while being transported, so why not brighten
some of that dreariness with a splash of color. Now both
you and your pet can jet set in style. What pampered pooch wouldn't
love that?
