She said, “I look forward to receiving my daily email about sales on my favorite brands. I have saved tons of money and time by just checking my email. What a great resource for busy shoppers!”
Here’s an extended version of a press-release that we sent out today!
San Francisco, CA — May 8, 2008
Markdown analysis from Shop It To Me can make you a savvier sale shopper!
Everyone loves a sale, but the day of the week you shop for clothing can make a big difference in the price you pay:
These are just a few of the price-saving revelations of a new study on the best days of the week to find the best deals on different clothing items. We compared prices on more than 150,000 clothing items that went on sale between January 1 to December 31, 2007 for 70+ leading online apparel and shoe retailers.
“You can find great deals on various types of clothing every day of the week,” says expert sale shopper Charlie Graham, founder and President of Shop It To Me. “But if you have only one day to shop, make it Friday. Our analysis revealed that’s when approximately 25% of all women’s and men’s clothing items are marked down.”
If you want the best deals on specific items, however, Graham offers the following tips:
Prefer to shop by brand name? The Shop It To Me analysis uncovered the following discounting patterns: Buy BCBG on Tuesdays and Thursdays when items averaged 42% off, but shop for Kenneth Cole on Monday and Fridays, for discounts averaging 40% of more. And you’ll find the best prices on Nine West items on Sundays and Tuesdays, for an average 42% discount.
Here’s a summary of the best days to buy each category… but if keeping track of all this data incites dizziness-simply register for a Salemail alert!
