Retailer to Retailer

Member Edition

October 15, 2025

Hi URA member!


The 19th Annual URA Trade Show in Oklahoma City is officially in the books — and what a week it was! Thank you to every retailer and manufacturer who joined us to make this year such a success. The energy on the show floor, the education sessions, and the connections made reminded us all why “Growth is Possible.”


Now, it’s time to channel that momentum into your
holiday strategy.

October is the perfect month to fine-tune your store’s Q4 goals and set yourself up for a strong finish to the year. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • 🎁 Plan your holiday promotions early. Shoppers are starting sooner than ever—don’t wait to stock and market your best sellers.
  • 💬 Train your staff to suggest add-on accessories, shoes, or gift ideas—boosting average sales with every transaction.
  • 🛍️ Refresh your displays with seasonal colors, gift bundles, and a little holiday sparkle.
  • ❤️ Give back locally. Partner with a healthcare organization or charity for a cause-related campaign that strengthens your community connection.


You’ve spent the year investing in growth—now let’s finish strong. Set your sales targets, engage your customers, and make this your
best holiday season yet!
