Successful beginning of sales period

Sales have increased despite the economic crisis

Surprisingly, it seems that the ongoing crisis that is our society is facing has succumbed to the winter sales. As general secretary of Confederació de Comerç de Catalunya (Catalunya Commerce Confederation), Miquel Àngel Fraile, has declared, the first sales day was exceptionally good, thus breaking the standard pattern of recent years. This year, Catalans are expected to spend an average of 200€ during the sales period that began on January 7th and will end on March 6th.

Sales, which account for the 20-25% the annual turnover of businesses, are basically represented by discounts of 40% -50%, although sometimes they can reach up to 70%. With this campaign, businesses try to overcome the low level of sales in the end of 2010 and expect, thus, a sales increase between 2% and 6% over last year.

According to shopkeepers, so far the most sold items are toys, perfumes, textiles, jewelry, books and technology products -especially videogames.
