It was on the news recently that the most profitable businesses in 2009 would be those online. It is the dawn of e-commerce, because of the fact that you can set up shop with absolutely no overhead expenses. With so many things that can easily be bought online, even without credit cards, less people are crowding the malls. I guess this is the reason why shops not only have end of season/last quarter sales, but first quarter sales too. I take it these sales consist of products/merchandise that weren't sold by the end of the year.
Yes, it is great fun to buy goods online. The tag line "just a click away" is as enticing to a shopaholic as triple fudge cake is to someone with a sweet tooth. However, what on earth will we do if our favorite mall stores close? There is just a different sensation one gets when holding a new top on a hanger or taken from a freshly folded stack or trying on shoes to see if they fit to the tee or smelling genuine leather of a handbag. I think you get what I am trying to say. We have to shop at the malls too and boost the quarterly sales of our beloved shops! The world is changing and there is an economic crisis, but no more shopping at malls? We cannot let that happen! We must all do our part in assuring that shopping is not limited to slouching in a chair w/ mouse in hand. Ick! It'll be like the DIVANITY "Keep-A-Store Alive Campaign" (yup, I acknowledge the brain fart, but it does make sense).
Now is the best time to begin the shopping extravaganza with sales like that of the one at Trinoma - the Welcome 2009 Sale ongoing until Sunday, January 18, 2008. Take advantage of this sale and many more this year. Sales at this time of year are the equivalent of sailors firing S.O.S. flares in the sky. So, hop onboard the 2009 ship and SALE away!
