The cold did not intimidate yesterday to many jerezanos to occur a stroll by the center but it seems that yes it congealed the hand in charge to remove the portfolio it left and it within the warm good pocket. The last weekend before the Christmas Eve was not characterized by a good sale in the stores of the center and the faces of the majority of the retailers said everything to it: much people of stroll but few purchases.
“The majority has still not begun to buy and the one that is doing yes it takes to gifts of low price and detallitos”, said yesterday the president of Asunico, Manuel Garci’a. In fact, for this group the Christmas campaign has taken with a 20% less than sale than the past year. “It does not seem that we are in Christmas and the days of rain have been the finishing nail that we needed”, she continued Garci’a.
In spite of the evil beginning of the campaign, the retailers trust a rise of the sales in the next days, when they approach plus the festivals. “We are going to try to arrive at the same level that the last year”, assured the representative Asunico. For that, the retailers are fitting to much the prices and even offering succulent improper discounts of these dates, everything with the intention to foment the consumption.
“What he can”
“The crisis affects everybody. To that it is in unemployment, because it cannot buy and to which is working, because it gives fear him that it needs if it remains in unemployment, as it is the thing”, said yesterday Juan Carlos Durán who, accompanied by Manuel Rock, was of the few that they took yesterday in the morning of some bags by downtown. “The budget is cortito than other years and all we watched plus the prices”, assured putting like example slippers: I have seen “Them in a store 30 Euros but I have watched in other sites until I have bought by ten”, Durán said.
If the clients watch the prices, the retailers do also it, like Koki Forno, of Kontiki, that in the last assures not to have spent through a so loose gust of wind sales 15 years: “I have had myself to look for the life to bring cheaper products without losing quality. The months of October and November have been horrifying because people have still not begun to buy gifts. Before it contracted four people for Christmas and this year I have only been able to take to two”, said.
