Lean Financial Times Give Boost to Purchase of Higher Quality Goods for Holidays as Seen on WhiteFlash
Being in the midst of such challenging economic
times, it's hard to fathom that people are even thinking of shopping for
the upcoming Holiday. Well think again! People are not totally swearing off
of buying gifts for loved ones, instead, they are shopping with a strategy
by being more selective with their purchases.
"Quality over quantity and less is more will be the mantras controlling
consumers' wallets, spelling good news for fine jewelry retailers. Our
sales are expected to be up 10.1% over 2007 and 49% of holiday sales this
year," says Debi Wexler, CEO of WhiteFlash.com, a premier online fine
jewelry retailer. "Opposed to spending money on several lower quality
items, consumers are viewing luxury goods as an investment."
You don't have to spend a large amount of money for luxury goods, and you
can still purchase quality "bling" on a shoestring budget. For instance,
Wexler's online trendsetting boutique, WhiteFlash.com (www.WhiteFlash.com),
offers a plethora of items that put the personal touch back in gifting.
Delivering unique and affordable gifts for any budget, this site is known
for its impeccable service and high quality goods. Another bonus to
purchasing jewelry items here can be found in their charity focused sub
lines, Dreams of Africa (www.DreamsofAfrica.org) and AWEAR: Jewelry for
Conscious Kids. A substantial portion of the proceeds from sales, 100%
profit from Dreams of Africa and 25% from the AWEAR collection, goes to
support children in nations hit hard by the blood diamond trade.
Gifting with a cause is another powerful trend that stretches hard earned
dollars way beyond their face value and will help sales for many retailers
while at the same time, conscious spending is paramount and provides a good
feeling about spending.
Feeding off of this trend means encouraging sales forecasts for retailers
of fine jewelry due to the lasting and personal sentiments attached to such
gifts, according to the "Today Show" financial expert, Jean Chatsky.
So regardless of your budget this Holiday, make your dollars count and
remember that the most gratifying part of giving is the sentiment behind
the gift.
