It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

Today, at 500 Harrison, everyone got together to celebrate Thanksgiving. We know, a little early…but next week is going to be the start to the hectic holiday season, so we decided to take advantage of the time we had while we still could.

We couldn’t help but talk about how fast the holidays came up this year! At Promoboxx, we are currently busy helping our clients launch their end of year promotions and holiday events. It probably doesn’t come as too much of a surprise that this is one of our busiest times of year.

The holidays are an important time for both brands and their retailers to grab the consumers attention, especially online.
