Today, Tuesday, May 3rd, the intermediate discounts in the shops starts, with the traders keeping a “small basket”, on the interest of the consumers, due to the crisis and the “cutting” of their income.
It is well known, as the merchants themselves say throughout the territory, that the intermediate discounts have not strengthened the cash registers of the stores until today.
The discount period will last until May 15 with traders having the opportunity to open their stores on Sunday, May 8.
However, it seems that the institution of the intermediate spring discount period will be abolished and this year is the last time it will be applied.
What is certain is that consumers will first seek to cover the exorbitant bills put upon them and then will be interested in shopping.
The turnover of the Easter “market” proved the following.
The recent annual survey of ΙΜΕ ΓΣΕΒΕΕ,(Small Business Institute) is typical, where last year 65.1% of households increased their expenses for household bills, 52.8% for food, 51.9% for heating and 34.7% for health and medicines.
At the same time, the exclusive brands presented an improved performance, in contrast to the small and medium enterprises, last year, in the first four months.
