There was a store that was having a clearance sale and for many of the items they did indeed look a lot cheaper. However, when it came to other items the clearance prices looked similar to the regular prices in other places. That got me thinking if the intent was to hopefully snag a few regular sales for a large crowd that would simply fall for the clearance sale frenzy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case too as it is a very common practice for many retailers to have say a few big items to make you go down to the store and many times people just want to walk out with something. I usually find this as a good way to discover tricks that companies would do too so I know whether or not I can semi blindly trust that when they have a sale of some sort that it truly is one.
While this is a little bit of a stretch, you’d be surprised at how many times you can see the actual cost of the items during clearance sales as many employees are careless where when they bring out a pallet of items there are still large packing slips that are visible in terms of how much the company purchased the items for.
