The Christmas shopping season is the big profit buffet for most retailers, but the economy is so poor this year that some retailers are already announcing bankruptcy plans... even during the hottest shopping season of the year!
KB Toys has joined the ranks of retailers filing for bankruptcy, announcing its plans to stage a series of liquidation sales in an attempt to blow out its final inventory during the last two shopping weeks of the year. It will likely close all 277 stores immediately after the holiday season, ending the jobs of up to 11,000 workers.
KB Toys appears to be yet another casualty of the collapsing brick-and-mortar retail sector, but there's one sector where retailing has a bright future: Online!
The online retailing portal ShopToEarth is booming, and it has added thousands of new members since we reported on it last week. ShopToEarth is a multi-tiered affiliate shopping network that's rapidly expanding its offerings of health-related companies.
In addition to the health companies already in the organization (Sunfood, Dr. Bronner's, Crystalux, Delicious Greens, etc.), NaturalNews has learned that another health product company has just been added to the roster of products available through the portal. It's one of the companies we've strongly advocated over the past year, and we'll be able to bring you details on that announcement in January. (We don't have permission to release it yet.)
You can join the NaturalNews ShopToEarth portal (which earns affiliate revenues for NaturalNews) by visiting www.ShopToEarth.net/NaturalNews

or email suzyk@naturalnews.com
We're hearing encouraging news about ShopToEarth, including the fact that one of its co-founders is now on a health-conscious diet. We're also seeing more health product companies get plugged in to this retail network, and they're seeing significant new sales. One company was sold out within days after joining (poor planning on their part...).
NaturalNews can help introduce a handful of health product companies to this network so that your product line is represented through this portal and made available to its 40,000+ members. If you have a health product company and would like to get into this online retail channel, use our feedback form at www.NaturalNews.com/feedback.html to get in touch with us. We're looking for 3-4 top health supplement companies to help bring into this portal in the next month or so.
