5 Ways for Uniform Sellers to be Recession-proof this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving - the much-awaited time for business owners as people come together to celebrate the year's harvest over good food, great vibes and extensive shopping for their near and dear ones, around the corner.

Online sales garner record numbers during this period, often to the extent where sellers find it difficult to fulfill them. But if planned right, you can literally cash on the Thanksgiving surge to bump up your revenue.

However, this year's Thanksgiving is likely to be different. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has prophesied the oncoming of an economic recession and advised people to refrain from expensive purchases and instead build a cash reserve for themselves to weather the tough times ahead.

For uniform sellers though, the impact may not be as severe. Especially the ones with healthcare companies and public safety departments on their clientele as uniforms are mandatory for these business functions.
