Back to school season has arrived. With August being the third
busiest retail month of the year, it is viewed as a good test for
retailers and consumers in the run up to the holiday season.
Promisingly, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimated that
consumers would spend an average of around $660 this year compared
to $548 last year. While retail figures have generally been on the
rise this year, it is not all smooth sailing.

Retailers spent the first half of the year encouraging buyers to
return to full price items and to overcome their recession induced
discount addiction. However, the recent wobbles in the economy have
undone any strides made in this area as malls become more fiercely
competitive than ever. A recent survey by the NRF reveals that this
year more families state that their back to school shopping will be
driven by coupons, sales and promotions. Register now at

This is bad news for the industry which is looking to raise
prices. Increasing cotton prices, wages and freight costs are
eating into margins while prices remain competitive. Some stores
estimate the need to raise prices by up to 6% but fears of loosing
sales are making them cautious. Increases will likely be small and
only apply to selected high ticket items. Visit www.stockcall.com/
to see how companies in this industry have grown over the past
years and how they are expected to perform in the future.
On the earnings table, Limited Brands Inc. posted its financial
results last week with profits soaring to $178.7 million from $74.3
million in the same quarter in 2009. Revenue for the company was
