你是購(gòu)物狂嗎?要當(dāng)一個(gè)兢兢業(yè)業(yè)誠(chéng)誠(chéng)懇懇的購(gòu)物狂,這些問(wèn)題你必須知道:
1. 購(gòu)物狂最喜歡的兩個(gè)日子是?
Black Friday(感恩節(jié)后第二天)和Boxing Day(圣誕后第二天),這兩天都是銷售旺季。
Black Friday標(biāo)志著Christmas Shopping Season的開(kāi)始:
On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers.
這一天商店開(kāi)門都會(huì)很早,凌晨四點(diǎn)就會(huì)開(kāi)門,這天雖然不是法定節(jié)假日,但很多公司都會(huì)在這一天放假,所以購(gòu)物的人很多。
Boxing Day中文里稱之為節(jié)禮日,這一天商家都會(huì)打折,所以是購(gòu)物的好日子:
In Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price decreases. For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue.
在英國(guó)、加拿大、新西蘭和澳大利亞一些地區(qū),節(jié)禮日的意義跟美國(guó)的Black Friday一樣,是名副其實(shí)的購(gòu)物日,這一天各處都有打折,很多地方的商家在這一天的收益幾乎是全年最多的。
2. 購(gòu)物之后,除了商品,還有什么不能忘記?
不要忘拿receipt(收據(jù)),上面通常會(huì)印有“Exchange and refund policy:90 day exchange,30 day refund with tags(90天之內(nèi)可以更換商品,30天內(nèi)保留價(jià)簽可以退貨)”。
3. 除了節(jié)假日打折,還有哪些省錢妙招?
節(jié)假日之外我們還可以用到coupon(優(yōu)惠券);一般商場(chǎng)里平時(shí)也會(huì)有降價(jià)出售以吸引人氣的商品,這種稱為loss leader。超市或者便利店里還有送積分的活動(dòng),這種叫做frequent shopper program,買的多,積分多,一般就會(huì)有折扣或者禮物。
