Carve Designs seeks balanced approach to holiday promotions

Apparel retailer Carve Designs is trying to find a balance this holiday shopping season, selling items at full price, while also offering promotions during a suitable (and limited) window and “protecting” key inventory.

The Cyber 5 — or the period from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, also called Cyber Week — has become cyber month, said Megan Porteous, chief revenue officer at Carve Designs. She was previously the brand’s vice president of ecommerce and performance marketing. The retailer primarily sells sustainable apparel. It says 99% of its apparel products come from sustainable materials, including all of its swim collection. Additionally, it says all the cotton it uses is organic.

Carve Designs first participated in Cyber 5 promotions in 2023. Last year, it launched a gift-finder quiz and introduced a gift-with-purchase incentive.

“We’re still figuring out what makes the most sense for us as far as how heavy to participate,” Porteous told Digital Commerce 360. “It’s certainly something we saw tremendous results from last year. The whole fall selling season has completely changed because of it.”

U.S. Postal Service Statement on Washington Post CARES Act Lending Authority Article

Pursuant to the terms that will apply to borrowing under the CARES Act, the Postal Service will provide the Department of the Treasury with certain information regarding our costs, revenues, and overall financial position. This includes providing Treasury, under strict terms of confidentiality, with those contracts that generate the most revenue for the Postal Service. Providing this information is merely an acknowledgment of the fact that Treasury has been designated by Congress as the lender for the Postal Service, and it therefore has a legitimate interest under certain circumstances in understanding those factors that affect our current and projected financial position. Other conditions, such as the requirement that borrowed funds only be used for operating expenses, and not for capital expenses, were expressly mandated by Congress in the language of the CARES Act. Contrary to insinuations made in the Washington Post article, nothing in these terms confers upon Treasury any role whatsoever in Postal Service pricing, management, or strategy.
