Mother's Day Sales Not
Heating Up
The economic crisis and
the annual "romeria" to
Cartago this weekend may
be the reason for the
slow sales on the second
weekend before Mother's
Day, even though most
retailers have begun
their Mother's Day
campaigns to lure
consumers to spend with
special prices on items
like appliances and home
furnishings.
Retailers have yet to
see the Mother's Day
buying rush.
Mother's Day in Costa
Rica is August 15 and it
is a national holiday.
