In department stores and retail outlets, there is
already the effort to dispose of existing stocks and replenish them with
holiday items. The Philippine economy, being consumer driven leans towards this
sales strategy. That it is the
Philippine version of the Black Friday sales in the U.S. but somewhat longer in
duration. Another evidence is the preponderance of “Tiangges” in almost all open spaces where people
congregate.
It is also at this time that the Christmas List is
prepared by those who do not want to be involved in the mad rush during the last
days leading to Christmas. A smart alternative is to begin shopping for gifts
and give-aways as early as September. It is also during this time that the
above-mentioned disposal of stocks promoted as “SALE” are undertaken.
But having a good head start in buying gifts for
the season does not only save the shopper from the stress generated by crowded
shops and malls. This also offers the opportunity to choose gifts that are more
meaningful and unique.
The 30th Negros Trade Fair gives the
smart shopper a wide array of products to choose from. Be it foodstuffs unique
only to Negros to handicrafts, woodcrafts and even furniture. These products
are made by the people of Negros and showcases their 3 Cs. These are Culture,
Crafts and Cuisine.
So be smart this coming Christmas. Shop early. Head
to the 30th Negros Trade Fair at the Glorietta Activity Center in
Makati city. The trade fair starts September 16, 2015 to September 20, 2016.
Like Christmas, the Negros Trade Fair happens only once a year!
