A few more things that boom during a recession...
Thanks Gordon - great post!
A few more things sell well during a recession... Sales of chocolate, alcohol, and cigarettes go up during recessions, and have gone up recently, according to some articles I read. In addition, "stay-in and have fun rather than go out" type of items are increasing in sales - like tea light candles, indoor slippers and dressing gowns... Here are a few articles about it... RECESSION PROOF - Alcohol, cigarette, chocolate sales thrive in hard times http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...cession-proof/ Economic slump sends condom sales soaring in UK! (also increasing sales of pregnancy tests, tea light candles, slippers, and dressing gowns) http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/...100126657.html Cheap thrills to beat crisis (Similar rises for these kinds of items in Asia) http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking...ry_306189.html Hmm... Reading this makes me want to have some chocolate! Best wishes, Dien Last edited by Dien Rice : February 21, 2009 at 07:13 AM. |
