Giving My Sisters a Lesson on Discount Perfume |
| 11/17/2009 1:25:58 AM |

This past weekend I spent some time with my sisters planning what we were going to buy for other family members for Christmas. I love my sisters, but they have never been one to care about getting the most for their money. They will buy something, without ever checking to find out if they can get it for a better price somewhere else. This weekend was no exception.
We decided to get together and talk about gift ideas and to also bounce ideas off each other. We gathered at my house where I had the laptop ready when they arrived. After talking for a little while, we all decided that we either wanted perfume for women for Christmas, or there was someone on our list who we wanted to buy perfume for women for. One of my sisters immediately suggested that we go to the mall since there were several department stores to choose from there. I looked at them both as though they'd lost their mind. I asked them why we didn’t look for perfume for women online since we could get a much better price with discount perfume online than in the department store.
They didn't believe me. Neither one of them. They said there was no way that I would buy discount perfume and pass it off as the real thing. I explained to them that discount perfume is the real thing, the only difference is that you get the perfume for women at a highly discounted price, sometimes as much as 50% off the retail price. They still didn't believe me, so I decided to show them. My sister was going to order some of my mom’s favorite perfume for women as a Christmas gift, and I asked her what she would normally pay for it at the mall. She told me and immediately I showed her the Hollywood by Fred Hayman Women Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4 oz that was at Purple Crown Mall who can be found online by visiting www.purplecrownmall.com This was the exact same perfume for women that she wanted to order my mom, only it was 1/3 cheaper than the department store prices. Of course, my sister couldn't believe her eyes, and I assured her that the discount perfume didn't mean it was fake, it meant it was discount prices. They were both amazed and placed orders immediately. They said they'd be saving enough money that they could actually have more money to buy extra gifts. I just looked at them and shook my head. This is what I've been trying to tell them for years. |
