纽约购物技巧（一）：sample sale

生活在纽约的人，肯定听说过“sample sale”这个词，那么，它是什么意思呢？维基百科上是这么解释的：Sample sales are used by retail businesses in order to discard excess merchandise. Sometimes these samples have been used by agencies to sell products that they will distribute to local vendors. Sample sales are often associated with the fashion industry. These sales are an opportunity to get near perfect merchandise at a fraction of the price. It is often difficult to have information on the date and time of sample sales, although there are websites which list information about sample sales in on line diaries. They are also used to draw in new clients, hoping that the new people will return to the companys store and buy more merchandise.


从我逛Sample Sale的体验来说，有一部分商品是未上市的新款，你可以用非常优惠的价格（最低2.5折）买到。


我在纽约已经生活了3年半了，在这段时间里，我去过好几个品牌的Sample Sale，如：手表（各种名牌手表，包括伯爵，卡地亚等世界顶级品牌），Cole  Haan(可汗)，Bulgari(宝格丽)，Hugo Boss等等。当然，不是每个人都能知道这些促销信息的，很多是在曼哈顿上班的高级白领之间通过email联系获得这些信息。如果你是一个喜爱奢侈品的MM,真的可以通过Sample Sale捡到很大的宝贝。举个例子吧,上次纽约最大的钟表商搞活动，手表50％off(5折)，我就捡了个大便宜，这种机会1年估计也就一次。


好好利用Sample Sale,你可以花很少的钱就可以享受高品质的生活。生活在纽约很好，很方便.....
