| "Retail Futures: UK Health & Beauty Q1 2010" now ... - PR Inside Posted: 08 May 2010 12:16 PM PDT 2010-05-08 21:14:44 - New Retailing market report from Verdict Research: "Retail Futures: UK Health & Beauty Q1 2010"
Verdict Research: Retail Futures is a unique forecasting tool providing dynamic forecasts and analysis of market demand and price pressures every three months. A Sector Summary Report and seven UK sector and two UK channel forecasts are available (Clothing & Footwear, DIY & Gardening, Electricals, Furniture & Floorcoverings, Food & Grocery, Health & Beauty, Homewares, e-Retail, DIY Superstores). Scope * Brief review of economic trends and how they impact retail, explaining how we believe key economic metrics will evolve over the next two years.* Forecasts of how overall retail and retail sectors will fare over the next nine quarters, examining volume, inflation and overall growth rates. * Category level forecasts are provided to fully inform growth strategies. * Forecast for online retailing, analysing total online spend, split down into food and non-food. Highlights Conditions look set to remain extremely challenging for retail throughout 2010. We are forecasting growth of just 1.3% this year, the second lowest growth rate, after 2009, since our records began in 1966. Indeed, Verdict is predicting low growth in retail over the next few years, as the impact of the recession continues to be felt by consumers. Non-food is not expected to return to growth until the final quarter of 2010, and then it will be only a marginal 0.8%. While clothing & footwear and health & beauty will experience growth this will be heavily outweighed by the dire performances of more discretionary sectors, particularly those related to the housing market. Food inflation continues to ease in Q1 2010, at 1.7%, compared to 8.9% in the same period a year ago. Inflationary pressures are subsiding due to falling commodity prices, less seasonal price fluctuations and price competition within the sector. In fact, we are forecasting food inflation of 1.9% for the year, down from 4.4% in 2009. Reasons to Purchase
* This unique service provides constantly updated forecasts than ensures you are making the right decisions, based on the latest data.

| Sneak Peek at the 'Jerseylicious' Finale - Tvsquad.com Posted: 08 May 2010 06:28 PM PDT  'Jerseylicious,' Style Network's love letter to big hair, bronzed skin and smoky eyes, has already been picked up for a second season. But there's still plenty of laughs and drama in store for the finale, Sunday at 10PM ET. If you're not familiar with the series, it follows the lives of the stylists at Gatsby Salon, run by Gayle Giacomo and her daughter Christy Pereira. You know all the gossip and fun that goes on at a beauty salon? Well, we get that here, only in Jersey style with plenty of Jersey girls and guys. Also on the team is Olivia Sharpe, a makeup artist who's trying to make it on her own, Tracy Dimarco, a confident (too confident?) stylist, Gigi Liscio, a down-to-earth stylist who's hoping to get engaged and have a big Italian wedding, and Anthony Lombardi, a stylist working at the salon to support his growing family. In the season finale, Gigi and her boyfriend Frankie have some fun at a bowling alley, but Gigi's more interested in the couple's upcoming two-year anniversary. "Personally, I think every six months in a relationship you should celebrate, but yeah, two years is a long time and I expect something, you know, big," she says. "Hopefully, I have something good coming up, because if not, I'm gonna be really mad." Good luck with that, Frankie!
Back at the salon, the team is prepping for a cover photo for New Jersey Life Health & Beauty Magazine. But Alexa doesn't take kindly to the suggestions offered by the magazine's editorial team as she's applying makeup to the model. "Have her look natural," says editor-in-chief Jennifer Vreeland McDermott. Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
