KARACHI: Eid shopping has experienced sluggishness, with traders reporting a significant dip in sales. Clothing and footwear retailers are grappling with disappointing sales figures ahead of Eid. Reports indicated that sales have plummeted by 30-50 percent compared to previous years, with many shops struggling to meet even 60 per cent of their sales targets.
With the advent of Ramazan shopping is experiencing a slow start, with traders reporting sluggish sales and lower footfall due to extreme inflation, high commodity prices, and reduced purchasing power. Despite the approach of the festival, many shoppers are buying less, with some reports suggesting a 35% decline in sales, leaving many shops struggling.
As Eid festival approaches, markets and shopping malls are witnessing a surge of shoppers in the final days of Ramazan in different markets. Traders have decorated their stores with new clothing collections to attract customers, while law enforcement agencies have strengthened security measures to ensure safe shopping for everyone.
