September 3, 2009 Poll Results: Christmas in AugustFiled under: Poll Results Remember those old Crazy Eddie commercials back in the day where the fast-talkin’ insane one hocked his audio hardware in August at such low prices that he claimed was practically giving the stuff away? Billed as “Christmas in August”, those commercials always stuck with me for several reasons: 1) What drugs was this guy on? and 2) Christmas in August?! How insane is that concept? Well, apparently not that insane if you’re in the ad specialty industry. In June, we polled our ASICentral users with the following question: In what month do you start focusing on selling corporate gifts for the holidays? The results were overwhelmingly, well, Crazy Eddie-like! Of the 226 respondents, the majority (81, 36%) started their holiday selling in August, while another 35% (80 voters) started in September, proving that Christmas does begin in August … well, at least in the audio and ad specialty industries! The complete results, below:
