ABOUT THIS BLOG

It's a make-it or break it time for retailers. The holiday selling season is always a critical time for retailers, but this year this may be even more true. With several retailers already falling victim to a drop in consumer spending, and filing for bankruptcy, retailers will be navigating through some tricky waters. Consumers are strapped for cash due to high energy and food prices, and unemployment is rising. The recent credit crunch has made it more challenging for retailers and consumers to borrow.
This blog will look at the winners and losers in the retail space. Who has the right strategy to capture consumer dollars? It also will look for trends in consumer spending and how that will impact the economy.

American Apparel CEO Charney Gets Video Spoofed
What other clothing stores/manufacturer besides American Apparel and their controversial CEO Dov Charney could inspire a viral video spoof/tribute? Check out this music video on myspace by Montreal-based band Hollerado.
The actor impersonating fellow Montreal native and APP CEO Dov Charney is former-Kid-in-the-Hall actor Dave Foley.
Adam McDowell of Canada's National Post interviewed the band's lead singer about why they chose to skewer the up-and-coming clothing company in this viral video...and how they managed to land Dave Foley to star in it.
