Is It Really The Holidays Without a Holiday Party?
It’s the Holidays! Typically, this is not the most enjoyable time in retail. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the positive business and the energy of the season but it isn’t always easy. I had recently thought about the first Cole Haan Holiday Party we held. It had become a tradition we all looked forward to but this year we knew it was not going to happen.
Although the pandemic has effected our daily lives, I know the least of our worries is having a holiday party. Honestly, I know the least of many peoples worries is shopping in person at a Cole Haan store. The holiday season has brought decent traffic into our doors but it is not the same.
I am grateful to have my health. I am grateful that my family, friends, loved ones, and coworkers are also healthy. As much as we miss the normalcy of shopping or celebrating the holidays, we must keep in mind the importance of staying safe.
This holiday season, reflect on all you are grateful for. Remember that although we may not see the light at the end of the tunnel that it is soon approaching. There are still ways to have fun with loved ones in a safe manner. Virtual Holiday Party anyone?
This post is dedicated to my sales team from 2017. Let’s shoot for our traditional Holiday Party in 2021!
