What’s on your shopping list this summer? Does the budget call for a few more pairs of shorts or will it just be a nice pair of sunglasses this year? I know the shoe companies that produce flip flops and sandals always love this time of the year. They are able to market their footwear to a large consumer base. These consumers have two feet also, so you know the shoe companies get to “pair” (pun intended) their profits. Yes, we have two eyes too, but a pair of sunglasses is actually only one item. I realize shoe companies don’t just sell customers one shoe. You have to buy both shoes and they won’t give you half price, if you only take one shoe either. Still the advantage goes to the shoe companies, because they are producing two products; compared to the one production item that comes from the companies who make sunglasses. Still both manufactures do well during the summer months; since people going to the beach will have their shades and a pair of beach sandals on. The consumer outlook for sunglasses and shoes are certainly bright this year and no matter how bad the economy gets, these two manufactures will continue to thrive.
