Lowe’s Pulls in New Memberships Amid Online Summer Sales

Summer season offers shoppers discounts on favorite items used all year round. While many retailers leverage the July 4th holiday to issue sales that will draw in customers, this year home improvement retailer Lowe’s experienced a peak in online sales on July 10th and 11th by offering online sales exclusively to its MyLowe’s members. To showcase the impact that the sale had on purchases and on MyLowe’s memberships, we have compared the purchase orders with new memberships generated the same week.
