Discount coupons and more..
posted in Uncategorized |Do not forget discount coupons! As a matter of fact, check manufacturers’ and department stores’ websites to see if they offer any deal on brand names or simply for coming in. You will be surprised how often you will be able to print out a ten or even 20% discount on any number of items.
Did you know that small boutiques sometimes offer the biggest bargains? Very often when lines go out of style, they are marked down to make room for the next line of fashion. Since there is only limited space available, these markdowns happen more often than you realize! Add to this the reputation of many a boutique for having outrageous prices and you will quite possibly have a proprietor on your hands who will be more than happy to wheel and deal with you on some items. After all, keeping the store in the black rather than going in the red is a powerful motivation for marking down an item with a hefty discount, if the customer will only buy something.
Shop at stores that pay their sales personnel a commission on sales made. These sales clerks will be most likely to bend over backwards to make a sale, rather than simply tell you “we can’t do that.â€Â Granted, they might not be able to mark down a designer pair of pants – although sometimes they will – but they might be able to offer you free alterations! They might be able to give you a hefty credit toward a matching belt of pair of shoes. Simply talk with a sales clerk and see how willing she or he is to help you. Maybe talking with a different sales clerk might help.
