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.

Spray-On Hair
$14.95 on AsSeenonTV.com

Call it spray-on hair and ew, how tacky.

Call it Good Looking Hair and zowee! Hit me baby one more time.

GLH Formula (how scientific) can fill-in see-through spots and even cover bald spots. It contains life-like fibers that look like real hair and instantly add volume.

It comes in a variety of colors, including black, brown and white.

Of course, it is spray on, so it washes out with any shampoo.

But one can will last you about two months — and, no more messy dye jobs! Just phsssssst! Spray it on like hairspray and go.

Or, use it to cover roots between colorings.

You tend to think of hair-replacement products as a man thing, but this is good for the ladies with thinning hair, too.

It's a great gift to subtly hint that maybe that rug isn't working.

Or for the lady whose hair disappears in sunlight.

And it's great for the ego, too.

"Gee, your hair looks terrific. Did you go the salon?"

"Nope. I've just got Good Looking Hair!"
