Going on an Exhibition spree? Remember these pointers for a more effective buy!
Prep ! Make sure you know what you have gone there for! Many people want to simply buy things, some want to see what is fresh in the market. If you feel like you are up for shopping, then take mental notes of what you like the best. Walk through to similar stalls and circle back to find your best deal.
If you want to know "the next best thing" , don't hesitate to ask around, you never know what you can find.
Tackle! A fashion exhibition , specially a popular one , can get over-whelming and crowded. You may feel like you will lose out on the item if you don't buy it instantly. This is why you splurge more than necessary. Remember, that any given day, you can place an order with the seller if you lose out on the piece. Flexibility is an advantage exhibitions give to you. But when your instincts kick in and your head flutters when you see your favorite item, by all means, just pick it up, your guts can never be wrong!
Bargain!! Hmmmm.. Tricky! The key is to know what you are ready to spend on the item rather than settling for just a lower cost. Many stalls have similar items, but varied costs. Some of those might be selling like hot cakes, but that is no reason to pay more than required. When you see an item and find its worth in terms of your estimate, you are more likely to buy better.
Try it on!! This is very important. Many of us resist a trial before buying due to many reasons. It's a waste of your time and money when you later regret the look of it. Be it jewelry, clothes or even bags, no harm has ever come from looking in the mirror! Some things you may not be able to try or visualise, like home decor. In that case just ask the sellers if they have a visual representation of the item and when you are convinced, you can make a deal for it.
