The 48% reduction of price has encouraged me to buy the infrared cooker,” said Ms. Van, a customer to Binh Duong Metro Cash and Carry.Director of My Phuoc Vinatex in Ben Cat District, Vo Thanh Loc informed that quantity of customers has increased in the holiday, especially among factory workers. More buyers have come to Vinatex for being attracted by a promotional program to mark the 12th year anniversary of Vinatex establishment. The invoice value of Vinatex was about 20% higher than normal day.As for common market places, the holiday has caused dramatic increase of buyer quantity; however, the buying power was not as expected due to the high peak of vegetarians in lunar July.Normally, vegetables should be on the hit list on holiday although no fluctuation has occurred.Reported by Truc Huynh – Translated by Vi Bao
