It pertains to my business
It pertains to my business

I’m an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it’s really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it’s not so “guy-centric.” I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.

I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it’s always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.

Moving sale to May boosts Nordstrom

Moving sale to May boosts

Nordstrom's decision to move its half-year sale for women and kids to May from June drove a big bump in sales.


May comp sales increased 10.9 percent. June sales will be impacted negatively by the shift. Comps in June are expected to be down 18 to 22 percent.


Year-to-date, total sales are flat compared to last year. The company did not report strong categories or regions today, saying the sale shift would muddy those results. Nordstrom will provide that detail for May and June combined when it reports June sales.
