Christmas shopping in Norway. Although there is still a good month and a half until Christmas, we can already observe the Christmas atmosphere in shopping malls and shops. Also in Norway. Sales in the country of fjords have decreased in recent months, and the economic crisis has forced many entrepreneurs to close down. Supermarkets, shops, small and large entrepreneurs, however, are getting ready for the pre-Christmas period. They hope that the sales balance will be really high this year.
Christmas shopping in Norway - Christmas trade and high living prices
Electricity prices in 2018 and 2019 increased significantly. We also paid more for food and gas. For this reason, in 2018 the stores did not record high profits related to Christmas shopping and gifts. The expert group predicts that this year trade will increase by 1,6% compared to the previous year.
Christmas shopping in Norway on Black Friday!
Specialists see great potential in toy stores. Such places will record the highest sales profit just before Christmas. In the last year, it was even at the level of 3,3%. However, sales statistics depend on one more important date. On November 26, we have another Black Friday. As you know, part of the society "absorbs" all kinds of promotions and price reductions. It may also be the case that some citizens will buy Christmas gifts on "Black Friday".
Christmas gift - not only material ...
Our approach to Christmas presents also changes year by year - until recently they were purely material in nature ... Today we want to collect more and more good emotions and experiences. As a gift for the whole family, we are more likely to buy a trip together, go to the cinema, theater - we buy a loved one a stay in a SPA or a self-development course. Whatever gift you plan for your loved ones - we recommend shopping in advance. The Internet is perfect at this point - giving you comfort and convenience in shopping. Don't wait for the last minute with your Christmas shopping - it's unnecessary stress, queues, ubiquitous buzz. Before Christmas, it can get really hot in the shops.
