Some highlights of shopping tips include:
- Seriously Santas, have a list: A recent survey by CashStar showed that mail carriers, neighbors and the babysitter rank among the most-forgotten gift recipients and millions of others are overlooked. Check here for an infographic with other data Stone can expand upon.
- In 2012 Ho-Ho-Ho is Mo-Mo-Mobile: Hundreds of retailers like Starbucks, Gap, Sephora, and Williams-Sonoma have optimized their websites, mobile apps, and even their stores so consumers can shop on-the-go with their phones. Stone can expand on how consumers should look for deals and leverage easy, personal and popular eGift Cards this holiday season.
- Don't forget the basics: Have a plan and take a breath when you head out in these next weeks. There is still plenty of time left and more tools than ever to help.
"The most important things for shoppers to remember are not to panic and that the holidays are a time to enjoy, not stress over. Holiday shoppers should take a deep breath, get their plan together and realize that they are armed with more shopping tools than ever between mobile devices, retailer incentives and eGift Cards," said Stone. "There is still a lot of time left in the holiday shopping season. Thanks to technology, a few minutes before a holiday party is actually still enough time, as consumers can even send a personalized eGift Card from their phone as they walk through the door to grab some eggnog. Or, they can print an elegant foldable version before they leave home to hand deliver it on arrival."
