What to do with old inventory? When this question pops up in a retailer mind, they offer discounts on their clothing line. No sale is offered on new arrivals and hence, you always end up buying old and boring clothing.

Simple solution for over-inventory

Stocking up clothing for festivities and celebrations seems right to most of the retailer but, at times it results in over-inventory. No need to look for any other solution when retailers know that customers could be easily forged with discounts.

Fake-prices, you could never guess

This would come as a real shocker to most of you but, it does happen. Retailers increase the prices just a few days before the discount days and then, ta-da! Discount is offered on already increased fake prices.

Wait is such pain

At times retailers want to lure his customers without doing any of the above things. In such cases, they manufacture exclusive goods for sales, which are made from the low-grade material.

With Christmas and New Year just around the corner, most of the clothing stores and retailers must be busy in devising tempting offers for you but, dodge this sale season and be a smart shopper by choosing stores that offer one best price throughout the year.
