Hello

Shopping seasons are periods where a burst of spending occurs—typically near holidays in the United States, where Christmas shopping is the biggest shopping spending season. Some famous target dates are Black Friday and Cyb er Monday.
Some religions regard such spending seasons against their religion and dismiss the practice. Many question the over-commercialization and the response by stores who downplay the shopping season often cited in the Christmas controversy or War on Christmas.
we all know that we should buy the products in the off season, because the store will do some sales promotion by discounting. Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with the intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is an activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one.More recently compulsive shopping is recognized as an addiction. Also referred as shopping addiction, "shopaholic" or formally monomania, these shoppers have an impulsive uncontrollable urge to shop. The term "retail therapy" is used in a less serious context. The nonprofit organization Debtors Anonymous provides free support groups for shopping .

Hi

Several of the religious festivals during the winter holiday season are celebrated with the exchanges of gifts, and the winter holiday season thus also incorporates the "holiday shopping season". Shopping seasons are periods where a burst of spending occurs—typically near holidays in the United States, where Christmas shopping is the biggest shopping spending season.

Hello

Many chains reported the worst holiday shopping season in decades, and the stores are entering the new year so weakened that some might not survive. A wave of corporate failures that has already taken out stores like Sharper Image and Linens ’n Things is expected to grow substantially worse in coming months, sending some of the well-known names of American retailing into bankruptcy.The weak economy, rising unemployment, winter storms and a dearth of compelling fashions hurt all kinds of retailers in December. On Thursday, many reported double-digit sales declines at stores open at least a year, a measure known as same-store sales and a barometer of retail health.Those numbers would be worse except for some huge categories, like food and beverages, on which consumers were less likely to cut back.The next wave of filings is likely to include stores that are doing many things right, but that are reeling from a high debt load in addition to a slowdown in sales brought on by the recession.Still, some stores cannot afford for consumers to go into hibernation this month. Many sold their Christmas merchandise at staggeringly low prices — an act that helped them trim their inventories and increase their same-store sales, but probably eroded their profit margins.

Using store discounts wisely can help save money and sanity during the busy and expensive Christmas shopping season.
