Apple gets ready for the holiday shopping season with new gift cards and uniforms
With the holiday buying season just around the corner, Apple is making a few minor changes to its retail stores to get ready. According to Kelly Hodgkins of MacRumors (and TUAW) the company will be introducing new holiday-colored shirts for employees at the stores for the season. The announcement was made via retail head Angela Ahrendts in a recent internal company video.
You should start seeing the red holiday-themed t-shirts instead of Apple's normal blue ones in the near future. In addition, employees will reportedly not be wearing their name badge lanyards during the holiday season.
It isn't just the uniforms that are getting a makeover. The company has also introduced new gift cards modeled after the color schemes of the iPhone and iPad. Gift cards can be used online or in stores, and can have a value of up to US$2,000. You'll probably need to get a few if you want one of the new Retina 5K iMacs.
You can find Apple's new gift cards online here, and will be able to check out the new uniforms in person at Apple Stores soon.
