Why only 30% of wedding gift givers will come into a store in 2030--and how we can help prepare for that
July 23, 2024
Tableware Today’s Editor Amy Stavis invited me to pen the Last Word column for the August / September issue. I start by comparing e-commerce trends for selling automobiles to selling dinner plates. Online sales in both industries have swelled in the last 25 years. (I entered the e-commerce business at the right time—in 2001.)

What embodies the holidays better than gingerbread? Why . . . nothing!
Give your customers something they can take home and do! And immediately get into the holiday spirit. Making gingerbread cookies is the perfect holiday activity.
So we just had Half Christmas and Christmas in July is coming up. So maybe this has you thinking of what you'll offer your customers when the holiday shows up for real in a few months. We'd love to see Ginger's Breadboys gracing your shelves this year. Gingerbread is one of the season's staples and our kits, mix, linens, and cutters make it so easy for both bakers and non-bakers. Perfect activity for families. And a great gift.

We've drawn inspiration from many sources, including our competitors and Tinder.
