This President’s Day, hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) – a leading appliance,
electronics and furniture retailer – is taking the time to honor
America’s First Ladies by encouraging guests to find inspiration in
the great causes, campaigns and contributions these women have made
in the United States of America. According to an
hhgregg-commissioned survey of 1,000 consumers across the U.S., 52
percent of Millennials believe there should be a holiday
celebrating America’s First Ladies, and nearly the same percentage
(50 percent) have been inspired to take action in their own lives
based on a First Lady’s initiative.
“The achievements of our First Ladies often get overlooked.
These women have made some great contributions to our country,
leading programs around healthy eating, literacy, energy efficiency
and more, so we decided it was time to celebrate all they have
done,” said Julie Lyle, CMO of hhgregg. “Beginning now through
President’s Day weekend, hhgregg will offer incredible deals
inspired by these great women, on items such as wearable fitness
devices, state-of-the-art tablets, energy-efficient appliances and
stylish home furnishings.”
Of 10 well-known First Ladies, ranked among the top four
favorites were Jacquelyn Kennedy Onassis at 48 percent, followed by
Eleanor Roosevelt (44 percent), Hillary Clinton (37 percent) and
Michelle Obama (34 percent), according to the hhgregg survey. A
former photographer, the late Mrs. Kennedy undertook a White House
restoration campaign that ultimately led to the declaration of the
White House as a living museum, creating a true place in history
for the home of the first family. Other first ladies, like Hillary
Clinton, focused on energy, while Michelle Obama made healthy
habits her platform and Laura Bush elevated literacy.
