The annual 618 shopping festival is coming. I heard that my friends have been repeatedly brainwashed by the magical advertisements of Rocket Girls 101, and even the lyrics of the original song are almost forgotten, haha.
However, after going to Australia, we cannot participate in shopping festivals such as 618 and Double 11, which is a pity. Fortunately, Australia also has its own discount season, and if you choose the right shopping time and location, the discount will be quite strong.
So, when is the Australian version of "618"? Which shopping malls are cheaper to go to ? Today I will reveal the secret to you~
Christmas (Boxing Day)
Like in China, Australia also has two large shopping festivals nationwide, namely Christmas promotion and fiscal year end promotion. Let’s talk about Christmas first. During the festival, all shopping malls will do their best to attract consumers to shop.
One month before Christmas, most shopping malls in Australia will start to decorate Christmas outfits inside and outside the stores to create a festive atmosphere, and Christmas discounts and promotions will continue until January of the following year.
So, for Australians, it is a habit to spend a lot of money during Christmas. Many Australians will take out the money they have saved for a year and buy some things they usually don’t want to buy at a discounted price.
But in Australia, Christmas Day is not a day with discounts, but a Boxing Day the day after Christmas (December 26).
On this day, major famous stores including Gucci, Burberry, Tiffany, and Prada will have discounts, and a 50% reduction may also be encountered.
Not only luxury goods, but also all kinds of digital goods, daily necessities and clothing will also have great discounts. As long as you start with steadily, accurately and ruthlessly, you will definitely get a large number of good goods.
Melbourne's famous store street Collins St, and famous store in Chadstone Shopping Center, the largest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere, are crowded every day. There were even long queues from 7 a.m., some of which were more than 100 meters long, which was very spectacular.
So, if you want to buy popular products at low prices, it is recommended to get up early to scan the goods and grab them all in minutes.
Also, many shopping malls will print a large number of brochures, store information from each store, and place it at the entrance of the shopping mall for customers to read. If you want to quickly find the store you want to go to, you might as well pick up a booklet first.
year-end sale
Generally, June-July every year is the clearance season for Australian retailers, that is, when the fiscal year is about to end, this time point is consistent with China's 618. Large department stores often launch various promotional activities in early June to seize business opportunities.
, especially fashion products, discounts are very high, and furniture and household goods sellers IKEA and Big-W will also launch some good discounts.
Therefore, students who have a need for luxury goods, clothing, furniture and other products may wish to pay attention to Australia's fiscal year-end promotions as soon as possible.
Easter
Easter is the "618" of Australian foodies. During Easter, major shopping malls and supermarkets will launch their specific holiday limited food: chocolate eggs, rabbits and cross bread, and discounts are also available for various snacks.
took the opportunity to raise some, and invite friends to the house party and you won’t have to worry about having nothing to eat.
In addition, Easter is in March and April every year, when it is autumn in Australia, and many summer clothes and supplies are sold at discounts.
Buy some summer supplies during Easter, whether it is a few months later, it is a good deal.
Online shopping is also good!
