What are the start dates for the discounts - Why is there confusion (vid)

Initially, he stated that "the issue of discounts has become anarchy in the bazaar, since the dates when the sale began in an organized manner were officially abolished by law. Everyone does what they want, whenever they want, they put offers and this only creates confusion for the consumer, while maybe in some cases these sales are misleading, which is why we insist that the discounts should be made at least institutionally four times a year. "Let them all start together so that the consumer can have the right choices and compare prices."

He went on to say that "now after the holidays, some started yesterday, some are counting on January 3 and others to stay after the Lights".

Regarding how the market moved, he said that until December 23 the market was very restrained, while many factors, such as measures, protocols, etc., did not create a festive consumer mood but a negative psychology.

On December 23 and 24 there was an increase in traffic, people went down to the malls, it was helped by the festive events held by the Municipalities, such as Larnaca, and the shopkeepers took a breath.

He noted that shopkeepers should focus on service and the best possible prices.
