My mother had to open the retail store she manages at 7 am today. My cousins said they would be at the toy store at 6 am. The mall near my apartment was open at 5 am. The leftover turkey in the fridge, it’s time to go shopping! The day after Thanksgiving is considered the biggest holiday shopping day of the year and is sometimes called “Black Friday”. But that doesn’t mean that we have to join in the shopping madness or given the recent conversation on VL about sweatshops that we can’t shop with a conscience. There are alternatives to the early bird shopping specials and red tag sales.

30 Sep 2005Yesterday in Miami, Spain launched a $95 million campaign to promote Spanish products. Considered the #10 economic power in the world, their sales don’t project that image with US sales last year less than $7 billion. The balance is currently tipped in favor of the US with our exports to Spain in 2004 almost reaching $9 billion.
The marketing campaign run by Spain will focus on creating an image of quality and innovation, not just on traditional products such as proscuitto ham and oil, but also on products and services in the technological realm. Also expect to see more advertising for quality Spanish wines, fashion, and Spain as a tourist destination.
