Chances are, if you're an international visitor,
you're probably not shopping for large appliances
like laundry machines, refrigerators and dishwashers.
But, you do have the chance to browse around some of the American brands!
Now, on the other hand, small household appliances
like juicers, or blenders, food processors, or small domestic robots,
those might very well be on your wish list.
And you'll have a lot of options to choose from,
different brands, models and price ranges.
If you do your research, you'll find some really good deals!
So, here's another piece of information
that'll help you save some American bucks.
There are sales going on in the city all the time,
all throughout the year.
But there are certain times of the year that seasonal items will go on additional sales.
And it's usually during or after holidays.
National holidays and some other special days are a really good time to go shopping.
Like, Black Friday! Or, Christmas!
That's another good one, where there are sales right around then
and in other countries, too.
So, there are a lot of national holidays that are specific to the United States,
that international travelers may not even know about.
So, for example, Martin Luther King day falls on the 3rd Monday of January,
every year.
And this is a really good holiday to get home décor and clothing.
If you're looking for jewelry, February is your month!
Oh, yeah! So, Valentine's day falls on February 14th,
which means that, from February 15th, all the way to the end of the month,
you're going to get some really big deals on jewelry,
like up to half price on jewelry!
If you're looking for appliances,
then your month is May!
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday of May,
and it's our holiday to celebrate our fallen soldiers!
And this long, three-day weekend is an excellent time
to get appliances!
Although, to be honest, there are sales going on
all the time, there's so much competition!
So, pretty much whatever you're looking for, there's going to be a deal somewhere
if you just look for it!
Hey, everybody! So, I have Gregory right here,
what kind of store do you work at?
It's an appliance store!
So, do you often have international customers come in?
Yeah, we do, we do!
What tips might you have for them? For international customers?
I would say, that if you're looking to buy supplies of any type
and you're an international customer, I would come in the fall or the spring,
it's typically the time of the year when things are discounted.
Oh, really? So, you're saying that the products are cheaper in the fall or the spring?
It's because in the winter,
typically things are priced up for the holidays.
And then, in the summer, people are typically building things.
And you don't really... I'm not sure if you do or not,
but do you often have international customers
buying some of those larger products?
You know, we typically don't! Because it's hard to ship those things back.
You can sometimes get warranties on certain items for international shipping,
but it really just depends on the item.
Good to know! Cool! Thanks Gregory!
Thanks!
