Every time where there are promotions and sales, many people will rush to the take part in the event. However i noticed usually there are more women compared to men in such events. Do you think women are more easily attracted to such event than men?

Well, yes because I think women are more inclined to shopping than men. Most women are into buying things like accessories, dress, etcetera just to make them look good or whatever their purposes are. Every time there are promotions and sales, they'd be able to buy more and spend less. So, most women would really rush to take part in the event. While most men are too busy and don't have time to shop or they just don't want to set time to shop or they don't care at all.

Maybe because women like shopping,and the speciality of women.Most of women like shopping,if there is a sales promotion women want to have a look,and buy something if cheaper than usual.Man not to look or buy not means they are not attracted.Some of them are attracted but they think as a man they should not do that.

I think mainly because men spend little time to check out on promotions whereas women discussed within each other when there are sales events. However, as a man, we loves promotions too, but on the items that we like like digital and electronic products, vehicles etc.

I do see more women in certain stores than men; however, some stores really interest women more than men. My husband shops a lot more than me and always has shopped more. Lately, I see a lot more men shopping in stores and looking for bargains. The economy is bad in my area, so people have to bargain shop to make ends meet.

Yes. Bargaining is really important in current situation. Especially when you go for tour etc. If you do not know how to bargain, we will end up paying more than double the price of the item. We must all learn to be a smart consumer, no matter it is a woman or a man. Also, keep in mind that we buy only those we need and don't buy something we don't use because it is cheap.
Have a nice day!

i can agree that there are more women who will go to such events like that than men. well maybe because there are more nosy women har har har. but regarding luring costumers i can say that with me and my wife it is easier to lure men to buy. for example on the supermarket when there are promos of some new product if my wife is not interested it is always easy for her to say sorry i am not interested while i am shy to just shove them away. i will let them say what they have to say then i end up purchasing what ever the product was. har har har. that sometimes makes my wife raise an eyebrow.

Haha.. it really is difficult to say no for most men. Anyway, u can always take the item and leave it somewhere else if it is really that hard to say "No"
Furthermore, you do need to learn how to reject or else your wife might think you are attracted to the sales girl and not the items(joking)
All the best and thanks for the reply.

They probably see a good deal and rush to such events.I found my wife is better at making such purchases than me.In other words she understands where goods are available at a reasonable price better than me.Women may be more attracted to such events than men but i feel they are making a right choice.

I believe women are more attracted to where there are promotions and sales. One of the many reasons is womens' interests on pamper and care. Women also like being treated mildly. These are the simple traits of promoters and sales representatives. I can remember here in Nigeria, clothes worn by women are given simple beautiful names, and they love representing and wearing such clothes with such beautiful names, while men have little or no time for such fun. The number of men that fall for such names is negligible.

Thanks for sharing with us the situation in Nigeria. I think most places too has beautiful names for the clothings for women. Anyway men surely don't have time for these and i think women too has little time for names nowadays but those brands that were famous stays famous and they go for it.
Have a nice day.

That's because women are shopaholic. One time i went with my girlfriend at the mall. We were walking in the dept store for hours as if we have covered the whole place 3 times. I don't know, honestly, why they're like this. Usually when i wanna buy something, i know what i'm looking for.
