Merchandising for lower-income shoppers

Episode 75: Today, Ann explores why the Omnicom-IPG merger, which created the world’s largest advertising company and is expected to generate more than $25 billion in revenue, might simply be “two drunks propping each other up on a lamppost”.  Then we look at earnings out of Signet and what they signal for holiday jewelry shopping.  Plus, we examine why Costco has joined a list of retailers suing the Trump administration, seeking a potential refund of tariff money.  Finally, Ann weighs in on Michael Dell’s $6.25 billion donation to fund investment accounts for American children.
