Spending a whole afternoon shopping, a young girl from Hanoi wassurprised to find that only a few shops had sales on in the run up tothe National Reunification and Labour days.
In previousyears, sales had started as much as two weeks ahead of the holidays, buttrying to find a good deal on famous shopping streets such as Pham NgocThach, Chua Boc, Cau Giay and Ton Duc Thang was proving difficult, shesaid.
A member of staff from Tracy 's fashion shop onBa Trieu street said she had not been informed of any upcomingpromotions ahead of the National Reunification and Labour days.
Shop owners explained that they ran promotions throughout the yearanyway, and they felt it unlikely that holding one now would bebeneficial to them.
The owner of An Linh Shoe Shop onNguyen Trai street said that she had held a promotion over the HungKing's holiday, but revenue had not increased so she was not going tobother this time.
Lots of people travel at this time of the year, so the number of customers would be down too, she added.
Duc Manh, owner of a shoe shop on Nguyen Thai Hoc street , saidpromotions he had held in the previous years during national holidayshad failed to attract customers.
Customers only cared about the discount, not the occasion, he said.
Some customers, however, said they preferred sales during special occasions, rather than throughout the whole year.
Customers would be confused and unhappy if they could buy discountedproducts the whole year round without knowing if it was actually apromotion or not, said Thanh Thuy from Cau Giay district. /.
