FALL 2013 is here! Whether you like it or love it; whether you are ready or not...HERE it comes!
I've heard a lot of times at work that its still too HOT to think about the upcoming season but you gotta think about it! The beauty of shopping for Fall Fashions now is you will be a step ahead of those late bloomers! Retailers are not producing as much as they used too. Many customers try to wait for a SALE or a PROMOTION. This can be a double edge sword. While you can get a discount you may not get the size. Supply and demand do not always meet nowadays. Now the demand is so much higher than the supply causing a shortage of fashion forward items or even basic items. Yes, yes you can possibly order items but remember there are chains of retailers with customer alike who want the same thing! First come first gets it!
I agree with creating a sense of urgency for consumers. A lot of merchandise does not need to be manufactured if its going to sit in the store. So, shoppers listen up! As I've said in earlier blog posts, the retailer has to make money too! If you cannot afford an item please do not buy it then return it hoping to get a cheaper price because retailers do have policies regarding price adjustments. Save your money for that ONE special store that you like to shop with or you want to shop with. Go scope out price points so you know what you are dealing with. Retailer prices fluctuate all of the time. Even if you make friends with the employees of a particular store, ask them if they have a book that shows what's coming our for the next month. This can allow you to see the trends, colors, and silhouettes. Many books will even list the prices so at that time you can see if it will work into your monthly budget.
I have included some fabulous pics of 2013 Fall colors and trends! Enjoy!
