Yesterday’s blog featured the importance of front line inventory’s visibility for tax season. Today I am going one step further to evaluate the size of the market with a capability to buy.

Based on a stat I read by the U.S. Department of Labor, about 6–7% of all Americans who receive a tax refund or credit will spend their new found money on an impulse purchase. According to this statistic the top two items that will be bought are vacations or a new or used vehicle.
