Sunday idea

‘“T’m even finding,’’ he
adds, ‘‘that I can use Sunday
to increase business on other
days by offering better deals
aud making pcople more
aware of our products and
our service,”

Neither of the two mer-
chants can identify a ‘typi-
cal’ Sunday. In the experi-
ence of both, consumers are
treating the day as another
business day but with the
difference that Sunday
shoppers seem more relaxed
and, more and more, are
shopping as families.

“*We've found that Sun-
day is a day when moms can
come in without dragging
their kids with them or when
a husband and wife can

come shopping together,”
Riemersmia says. ‘‘We're
seeing a lot of people Sun-
days who used to come
dashing in Friday night or
first thing Saturday morn-
ing.”*

Both Wong and
Riemersma like Sundays and
both plan to continue with
the openings.

Says Wong: ‘It's always
to difficult ta say what will
happen later on, but so far
I'm very happy with the
overall results of Sunday
opening.”

And Riemersma: ‘‘We
have our quiet Sundays, but
we have quiet days during
the week,too. We don't ex-
pect Sunday to be as busy as
a Thursday, Friday or
Saturday, but with Sunday
opening we have a lot more
flexibility.””

... because they don't have time to be Saturday
customers.

Having two income earners in 52% of North
and West Vancouver househoids means there
are a lot of people in our community making
money without the time to spend it.

For two working spouses, Saturday is a day
of necessary chores, not leisurely activity.

Shopping is entertainment for many people.
and, particularly ir our community, Sunday is
the only dav left for leisurely, entertaining
shopping.
