According to chain store proverb

 According to chain store reports non-auto retailers seemed to have fared much better in January than during the holiday season.

 What we'll be focused on in early January will be more reports on how the holiday season went for retailers.

 The gains were uneven, however, with small declines in clothing and electronics, a decent 0.7 percent rise for general merchandise and a huge leap for non-store retailers. Provided January holds up -- surveys suggest so far, so good -- the overall holiday season will have been pretty good.

 Consumers were not in the holiday spirit up until the last week of the holiday season, when there was a mad rush for the store, ... And the big unknown is the result of that game of chicken, where shoppers waited until the last minute to get the best bargains and retailers held off.

 While retailers are pleased with (Christmas) performance, the holiday shopping season is far from over, since about 60 percent of gift-card redemptions occur between Dec. 26 and the end of January.

 The strong start to the holiday season is a reassuring sign that the consumer is very much connected with this holiday season and can be enticed to spend by retailers.

 It's not a niche holiday by any stretch. It's the first big event after the (winter) holiday season. January is a bit of a lull month for the industry. Not counting back-to-school, Valentine's Day is the second biggest season for spending.

 Consumers aren't stupid. They know what the holiday season is like just as well as retailers. They know there are certain things that are part of the holiday season -- and waiting in line is one of those things you can't separate from the holidays. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

 We saw the same trends in lowered satisfaction and key behaviors tied to loyalty last year. However, last year's drops were far more significant. This year, online retailers did a better job managing customer expectations as the holiday shopping deadlines approached. In return, retailers will be rewarded with higher loyalty long after the holiday season comes to a close.

 With some retailers seeing between 25 and 40 percent of their annual sales during the holiday season, there's still time for retailers to show positive gains in 2003,

 As a result, the swings between March and April in the Census figures tend to be smaller than the swings in the retailers' report. Chain store results from the retailers may overstate the weakness in March.

 What we saw was a likely bifurcation of retailers this holiday season, with those catering to affluent consumers doing very well. The balance of retailers had to work harder for sales and do more discounting.

 It's still going to be a good holiday season for the retailers, but it is not going to be a great holiday season.
