I never thought I’d be so happy to see a Sunday ad flier pushing turf builder and lawn mowers. But after this winter, aren’t we all fantasizing about just seeing some turf emerge from under all the snow?
This is the equivalent of the Christmas season for home improvement businesses.Home Depot, for example, is hiring 80,000 people to help sell lawn furniture, plants, fertilizer, and supplies for outdoor projects.March brings new hope for retailers of all types. Target is parading bikinis this week on TV and print, while Kohl’s is all about pink.
What’s your spring dream? A new trench coat? A pair of sandals? A new patio set? It may be too soon to use them, but it’s not too soon to make your wish list. Daytime savings time arrives this weekend. One more step toward warm weather. I can hardly wait!
