The first week of the winter sales with the stores open was positive for retailers after two-and-a-half months of closure, but revenues were expected to be significantly below last year’s equivalent week, according to a survey conducted by the Athens Traders’ Association, ekathimerini.com reports.
About four out of 10 shopkeepers (39%) reported a decline from 2020, 30% said their turnover was about the same and 31% reported an increase, the survey found.
The average discounts offered ranged around 40%-50% in clothing, 20%-40% in shoes, and 10%-20% at jewelers.
