How are your holiday sales progressing?


In an effort to adequately monitor and report on this year's retail holiday sales figures we periodically asked RAM members to provide us with sales gain/loss numbers over a same period one year ago.

This first 3 question survey is focused on November sales.  Please check back and provide us your updated numbers throughout the holiday season.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us your holiday sales results. Wishing you a prosperous holiday season.
