00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: last few months, it's been a difficult retail time in

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: so we're preparing for a very busy day today. We

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: have discounts all through the weekend, but particularly Black Friday

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: is when most people like to come out to find

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: the discounts. Consuming New Zealand recently warned that not all

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Black Friday deals are what they see at Dress Smart.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: true outlet center in terms of that daily discount, but

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: on Black Friday, retailers off the savings that get better

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: than that, So we really do see it as a

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,000

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,560

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: thirty to seventy percent off? I mean, can I get

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: something for ninety percent off today?

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: Potentially? There are stores that have discount on top of

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: But all of the stores are offering great offers. I

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: was there yesterday walking through them, and there's just so

29
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: many options. I think our retailers are telling us that

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: in particular, customers are after luxury guesting brands like Coach

31
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: we have, which is a high end brand, but they

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: have huge discounts on all of their accessories today. And

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: then summer essentials are really popular at this time of year.

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,680

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,360

00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: And does it get full?

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,280

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: the morning's always best. But we manage it really carefully.

43
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: circulate really well. So yeah, and you've got the whole weekend.

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,079
