The usual Christmas rush may be omitted

Less and less expensive – That is what traders expect for the holiday season. Although the season warm-up ads build on the customer rush of the past years, traders believe in a cheap Christmas for this year.

The period between the firts weeks of November and Christmas is the peak period for retail: a 30-40 percent jump in demand used to be occured in this period of the year.
However, in the shadow of the credit crisis, last year’s Christmas rush was not even good, but at the end finally managed to reach the 2007 results. This year’s forecasts are worse – reports Népszabadság Online.
