Holiday Shopping Lacks Cheer

While not devastating, the Christmas shopping season proved disappointing for many luxury retailers. Sales were flat and early and deep discounts took a big bite out of margins.

While some merchants are still trying to make up for it with big post-Christmas sales and new merchandise, another important strategy is to start early planning for next season.

Set out your goals now and keep a careful eye on cash flow. The market may not make any big gains in the next few months, but your margins can still be improved.
