quoted Amoush as saying that the prices of some commodities remained the same
before and after the sales.
He urged consumers
to check the prices of products before purchasing them, and to compare them to
the rates offered before and after discounts.
He also asked
merchants to offer real discounts on products.
White Friday is
derived from the term “
Black Friday,” the sales offered following Thanksgiving
in the US, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping season there.
Asad Qawasmi, the
clothing, footwear and jewelry sector representative at the Jordan Chamber of
Commerce, said the commercial activity at malls and big shops was “good” during
White Friday, especially in Amman.
He said in comments
carried by Al-Rai daily that his syndicate received no consumer complaints
during White Friday.
He explained that
most shops which announce such sales on
White Friday are affiliated with
international commercial brands, which knock down their price tags during this
time of the year.
He noted that
major and international companies “made more profits than small companies,
which could not afford to offer big sales.”
