RELEASE DATE: March 2011
DALLAS – Americans are recovering from an ailing economy and are continuing to find ways to cut expenses and save money. According to a study done by the Retail Group research store, consumer spending forecasts predict a decline in spending on spring and summer vacations as gas prices rise higher and air travel gets more expensive. On the other hand, trends for outdoor home decor are expected to show significant growth over the next several years as more homeowners embrace home resorts and staycations.
With that in mind, the new Outdoor Living Catalog for Spring/Summer 2011 is placing a special emphasis on “value pricing,” with patio sets ranging from $199 to $399, above ground pools for as low as $895 and several assortments of gas grills from $69 to $499.
The 36-page Outdoor Living Exchange Catalog is available at all main stores and online at shopmyexchange.com, usmc-mccs.org, navy-nex.com or cg-exchange.com.
