Retailers continue to place strong emphasis on sales in order to keep up turnover in what is ordinarily a quiet period. The wisdom of holding so many and such prolonged sales has both its advocates and its oponents. The argument - that the consumer is no longer interested in sales, owing to their large number, is set aside lightly by the former who say they are demonstrating otherwise. They also do not readily grant the force the statement that the sales take attention away from regular priced merchandise, declaring that speed in turnover, on a small profit margin, is to be preferred.
