I look forward to the Bell Media video release in the next few days. The info in that paints the real picture of where things stand.
You'd never know Christmas is just 12 days away if you're listening to CKNW. The usual barrage of Christmas ads for retailers isn't there. Few, if any national ads. Besides three or four spots an hour for C-Lovers Fish & Chips and sever promos each hour for Simi Sara's Book Club, there ain't a whole lot. Even former NW show host and regular Bill Good Show guest Caren McSherry has taken her Gourmet Warehouse advertising dollars to News 1130. Who's next, Shell Busey?
Speaking of London Drugs as Tom was in an earlier post, I too have noticed how slow things are in the two or three locations I shop at fairly regularly. More times than not, there isn't a checkstand open. The only place to pay is at the Customer Service counter. How things have changed.
If you're late in buying cards or wrapping paper, you're in luck ... it's already 50 - 60% in most places.This should be the big weekend for buying trees, at Loblaws Independent today, all trees were 50% off!.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
