Shopping In Paris Means Dealing With Irritated Salespeople

Paris might be known as the fashion capital of the world, but prepare yourself for rude sales reps if you decide to shop there.

The famed Avenue des Champs-Elysées, which features some of the biggest names in fashion, was ranked as number 22 in terms of customer service.

Reports showed that 40% of the time the sales staff seemed irritated to have to deal with customers.

Kate Middleton Is Great For The Economy!

Filed Under: Kate Middleton Business Blitz Vivienne Westwood

If Kate Middleton wears it, you can bet it's selling out within hours.

While the "every woman" princess may not be admired by fashion greats like Vivienne Westwood, she's adored by countless women for her elegance and beauty in even fashions that don't entirely break the bank.

Take Reiss for example. As soon as photos of Kate donning a fashion by the company, their site crashed! Since the Duchess wears Reese quite often, the clothing company has completely broken out of the recession by seeing sales increase by double!

We agree with the commenter in the video when he says Kate doesn't need to break fashion barriers. She's best when she looks stylish and happy.

Watch the video for all of the details.

More People Are Shopping With Credit Cards

Filed Under: Business Blitz Retail Therapy

Not only did Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) see a spike in sales (both at the stores and online) but credit card usage went up as well.

On Black Friday, purchases made by credit card were up 7.4% from the previous year.

It's a good thing that people are spending money and helping the economy, but not so good that they're doing it with credit.

Though even more surprising is an estimate made by Javelin Strategy & Research that forecasts credit card payments for online purchases will go up 63% by 2016 with just a 2% increase for debit cards.
