What’s New In Golf Apparel For This Winter?

Nike Golf has come out with four lines this season: Tour Premium, Sport, Tour Performance and Tiger Woods. These four golf apparel collections from Nike offer something for everyone. The collections will be a hit on and off the golf course.

First, The Tour Premium collection from Nike Golf offers uncompromising craftsmanship with muted hues of magenta, blacks, creams and blues that offer luxury fabrications and classic styling. The price tag on this collection is for the upper class golfer that has extra money to spend on golf clothes. Prices range from $80-$120.

Secondly, The Sport collection is for the very bold and highly athletic golfer that is young in mind, body and spirit. The “slim fit” cuts in this collection are definitely for the trim golfer who wants to show off their physic. Here we find bright hues such as bold yellows, reds, blues, whites, pinks and oranges. This collection offers a lot of energy and enthusiasm. There are a lot of stripes and Jacquards that take on a new look. Keep in mind “slim fit” styling is tighter in the mid section and has shorter sleeves. The shorts and pants in this collection are also a bit tighter in the legs through the back area. The pricing on this line ranges from $60 – $75 for a golf shirt.

Thirdly, The Tour Performance line offers a classic fit and great colors. This is Nike Golf’s “catch-all” line that most consumers will fall into. This line is also worn by many PGA Tour players and staff members. One may see this line on TV during a golf tournament. Most professional golfers pick from this line because the fitting is more classic. This is Nike Golf’s most popular line. Also, this line offers many plaid shorts and pants to compliment each shirt or top. The price range on this collection ranges from $65-$90.

Lastly, we have the Tiger Woods Collection. The items in this line have decreased over the years. A few years ago the collection was huge – offering tons of colors and styles. Although Nike Golf has slimmed back the inventory on this collection, they have not compromised its great style or performance. The colors are very simple in this collection. Sprinkled throughout the collection are greens, blues, reds and blacks, keeping it very simple for the consumer. This line is a classic fit but with a higher price tag. Prices range $80-$125 for the golf shirts.

With this being said about the new collection from Nike Golf, you are sure to find the right golf apparel from Nike this winter.…

An Up and Coming Unisex Trend – The Denim Shirt!

Over the past few years, some types of clothing have become unisex. When jeans were first introduced, they were more aimed to men rather than women. However, as the years went by, many women began wearing jeans, and now jeans have become the most popular pants for both genders. Many types of clothing are currently undergoing through the same thing, since people dislike any type of discrimination – fashion included.

Obviously, there are many types of clothes that will never become unisex. These include dresses which are just for girls or tuxedos that are mainly for guys – then again, I kind of question the latter. As you can see, both of these are formal wear, but there are some casual clothes that will most likely never become unisex either. Skirts would be a good example. Many clothes are undergoing this transformation as we speak. This is great for companies that manufacture these clothes since their market will grow in size rapidly, if their clothes are worn by both men and women.

It will also be better for consumers, since we will be able to find different styles and colors in the clothes we like easier. One such example is the denim shirt. At the beginning, just like jeans, it was only men that wore denim shirts. Then, slowly, women started wearing them. That trend has yet to fully grow, so don’t expect to see many women wearing a denim shirt on the street. As a matter of fact, not many people prefer a denim shirt over a classic one. It is easier to find a woman carrying a suede handbag (which is rare) than finding a person wearing a denim shirt.

I personally believe that this is due to the fact that people still associate denim shirts with cowboys – but the trend is growing. Also, women who don’t like wearing jeans are having a hard time trying to match their skirts with denim shirts. If you are one of those women, no need to worry, I have your solution! Just wear a denim skirt! For women, denim skirts are the equivalent of a pair of jeans for men. Well, not as popular as jeans but still. Don’t waste any more time trying to match your denim shirt with non-denim skirts – it simply won’t look good.…

How-To Market Your Retail Store During Thanksgiving

Holidays are a great time for shopping, and Thanksgiving sets the tone for one the busiest retail seasons in the entire year. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s, shoppers look for the best deals, the perfect gifts, and the greatest sales. If you don’t advertise your business during this time, you’ll be ignored as customers rush out to your competitors. Use effective signage to stand out from the crowd during Thanksgiving.

When ordering signage for the Thanksgiving season, identify the products you offer that will entice holiday shoppers. Create Thanksgiving advertisements using these holiday products. Around Thanksgiving, shoppers are finishing their fall decorating and starting their Christmas shopping. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is one of the most highly-anticipated shopping days of the year. Hire a professional photographer to take pictures of your products in a Thanksgiving setting for professional advertisements which you can use for all of your holiday advertising.

The design of your signs should include a Thanksgiving color theme, with natural colors like oranges, greens, and browns. If you’d rather focus on the Black Friday sale as opposed to the holiday itself, create signs in bold red and black, or other bright, vivid colors that make a statement.

Make use of your store windows to promote your top holiday products and offers that are unique to your store. One great product for Thanksgiving sale signs is the window cling, which is reusable. When Thanksgiving is over, you can take them down and store them for next year! Your signs should focus on your Thanksgiving sale-include a deadline so customers know they have to get into your store soon to get the best deals. If you offer special Thanksgiving tableware, food, or other themed products, put them to the front of the store and highlight them with your signage.

Add a vinyl banner which states that you are the place to shop for Black Friday deals and Thanksgiving sales. Design your banner to hang across your storefront with your early-bird shopping hours and special discounts. When you store experiences the holiday rush, add a vertical banner to your entrance to get the attention shoppers, direct long lines and spotlight your featured products. Your vertical banner design should utilize your top product images and special notices. These banners are a great way to inform customers of your special offers as they enter your store or stand in line.

Your signage should make a strong impact with your customers but not overwhelm them with too much information. Professional signage informs customers that you are honest and professional-a great place for Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.…

How to Choose Your Eggs

There are so many different kinds of eggs out there right now – cage-free, organic, the store brand… which ones are the best? It depends on what you want.

Eggs are nutritious, filling, economical, versatile, and delicious. In general, a large egg contains: 70 calories, 1-2 gram of saturated fat (4-5 total fat), 180-215mg of cholesterol, 65mg of naturally-occurring sodium, 0 carbs, 6 grams of protein, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Now go to the refrigerator and check out your eggs – what grade are they? Grade A means the white is somewhat firm and the yolk is high and round. Grade AA means the yolk is high and round and the white is firm and thick. Most eggs on your grocer’s shelf will be A, but you can find AA if you look around. Eggs with a watery white indicate an aging product that won’t be as fresh.

Now that we have grading covered, here are your options:

Cage-free: The hens are not caged but they are not necessarily allowed access to the outdoors either. Usually they live in open structures. Check the carton for information pertaining to what the hens are fed. Look for a 100% vegetarian diet, no hormones, no antibiotics.

Free-range: The hens live outdoors or are given some access to the outdoors. Check the carton for information pertaining to what the hens are fed. Again, look for a 100% vegetarian diet, no hormones, no antibiotics.

Organic: The hens are fed a 100% organic diet (vegetarian with no animal fats or by-products) and are not given antibiotics or hormones. When a carton of eggs says “100% natural” that does not necessarily mean certified organic. Notice that organic does not mean range or cage-free. Organic does not pertain to the hens living conditions, they could be caged.

Pastured: The hens are raised in pastures and allowed to eat grasses and bugs. These eggs taste the best and are the freshest, because you usually find them at your local farmers market.

Enriched or fortified:The hens are fed a special diet fortified with things like DHA (an omega 3 fat) vitamin E, B vitamins, and lutein. The feed alters the nutrition profile of the egg, resulting in an egg with less saturated fat and cholesterol than its store-brand counterpart. The hen’s diet is usually 100% vegetarian and there are no added hormones or antibiotics. Again, notice that living conditions of the hens are not defined. They are probably caged.

As you can see, eggs are different and can vary in quality and taste, so a little knowledge in your head while you stare at all the options can go a long way.…
