January is a pretty ordsprog

en January is a pretty strong month because of the gift cards.

en Gift cards are not the panacea because the year-over-year increase is anemic. Because the markdowns in January will be more than last year, retailers will see less dollar impact of additional sales from gift cards compared to last year.
