Relief in stores and for customers: we will be able to do the sales, but with different stocks in Puy-de-Dôme
Already on promotion
Beaucoup ont d’ailleurs déjà embrayé sur les « ventes privées ».
Whether we call them "destocking", or "Winter-Days", it's the same song: we see promotions already ranging from 20 % to 60 %!This until the sales open.Only difference: private sales are in principle reserved for regular customers or holders of loyalty accounts.
However, in the almost general opinion, in the city center, this first time of destocking worked rather well.
It is less blatant in shops dependent on older clientele who fears the spread of the virus.This comment has frequently returned to the outskirts of the periphery.
What will be the stocks sold?
In large shoe brands, especially at Eram, in downtown Clermont, the shop sellers explain that there will be many articles on sale (significantly to the same rates as what is already label in private sales), but not necessarily all sizes.
Stocks were reduced during the health crisis, result, we have very few sizes to extremes.
The ladies will have to count on a little luck to find a small 36 or a 41.
Similarly, in the ready to wear, the pre-curriculum discounts have started to erase rays, rare pearls: for 18 months, availability in sizes and volumes are more limited because of the COVID.
Finally, we discover the same kind of constraints in other types of stores that depend on the import.
We are surprised, for example, to find less sizes of costume jewelry, or degrifée models, at Swarovski?We agree to explain that Austria, confined, we produced less of its famous crystals.
A period of sales;But two seasons solved
The good news, it is the stocks of years N-1 and N-2 which resurface, failing to have been sold during the health crisis."They could be sold at really broken prices," explain various sellers, in the art of the house as in leather goods or in the garment.
Another good news delivered by the seller of the I-Code shop: the stocks that had been delayed by the COVVID ended up arriving."If there are not the sizes in store, they can be ordered at the sale price.This weekend, it was an labeling operation at JAVOTINE, who wishes to reserve its private sales to customers to thank for loyalty.But from Wednesday, it is up to everyone to enjoy it.In the end, as with JavoTine in the city center, only small shops and concept stores which highlight French craftsmen and more modest productions have no really changes to report in terms of stocks and sales.
