Japan New Year Tradition Continues

December 29, 2009

The annual tradition of fun at Apple’s Japan stores will continue this New Year, with sales of Lucky Bags, childrens’ events, a greeting card competition and Personal Shopping sessions. First, on January 2nd the country’s stores will be selling a limited number of Lucky Bags for $380, a version of the country’s annual New Year tradition to receive mystery gifts. The Apple stores will also be offering workshops for children eight to 12 years-old, focusing on photography, video-making and presentations—all using Apple applications. The stores will also hold an in-store, one-day contest for Mac-created greeting cards with a New Year’s theme, with all participants receiving a small gift. Lastly, Apple is promoting its Personal Shopping service during the January 2-3 holiday, for those wanting more information about its products.
