How can you get past the new shoes? Fashionable, inexpensive, beautiful… And it doesn't matter that several dozen pairs of shoes are already gathering dust at home, because, as you know, TV stars have several hundred pairs of shoes - and there is nothing wrong with that. However, there is a problem with this. It's called "shopaholism".
Shopping and shopaholism are not synonyms, and you need to be able to separate the good from the bad. It is important to be able to buy correctly, but not become addicted to things.
Why do you want to buy so much?
Shopaholic is a person prone to impulsive shopping. He liked something - and right there not a single thought remains in his head, even breathing becomes less frequent, and the beloved object becomes the center of the universe. Psychologists say that sometimes a person even goes into a trance, and the price completely loses its meaning. Of course, it is a matter of honor for the seller to take advantage of this situation.
The fashion industry makes money by creating things that no one can pass by. Shopaholic is the main object of profit for fashion production.
Paradoxes and shopaholism
As you know, it is fashionable to be slim. If you believe the catwalks, the woman who has a belly is beautifulperfectly flat, almost no priests. If the clothes emphasize the elegance of the body, it is stylish and fashionable. Reaching middle age, almost all women pay a lot of attention to glossy publications, where they are looking for how to dress properly. As a rule, they concentrate on the elements that make up the images, but they miss the picture as a whole. Well, when it becomes clear that the figure of an ordinary woman is not at all a podium standard, the lady goes on a strict diet in order to fit into the “same” red dress of a small size.
So, what do Samara shopaholics do? They buy themselves clothes one size smaller, as if creating an incentive to lose weight.
Brands as a means of extorting money
When a woman buys a new thing, she always looks at what company made it. And belonging to a top brand is something that immediately increases the value of a blouse or dress. It doesn’t matter at all that neither quality nor design stands out from the rest, because the cherished words are written on the label - Prada, D&G, Louboutin.
Where do the roots of the dream of having such a label come from? Yes, these brands themselves grow it. You need to make people pay unrealistic money for simple things. This is status, this is fashion, this is the style of a big city. What to hide, it turns out that well-known companies advertise their name for five points. And what do we see? In stores, the lady seeks to buy both a Louis Vuitton handbag and Pazzolini shoes, while she herself rides the subway and lives in a rented apartment.
Shopaholism inRussia
Can it be said that shopaholics are Samara parents if they are people with a low income and do not afford expensive brands? A lot depends on behavior. If a person, despite a small salary, leaves all the money in the store, we can safely talk about uncontrolled shopping as a disease. However, you need to separate those who are really sick, and those who have made an impulsive purchase several times. Accidents in life happen to everyone, but it is important even before the checkout to analyze whether this or that thing you like is needed. Maximum self-control is a powerful defense against shopaholism.
Most often, a shopaholic is a woman. This is largely due to life's difficulties, constant stressful situations. Many note that shopping helps to calm down, leave unpleasant experiences, conflict meetings in the past. Often, buying is just a universal way to improve mood, it works like an antidepressant. However, it must be remembered that he althy people do not need medication, and few people are truly ill with depression. This means that you should not resort to shopping every time a slight upset occurs. Sparrows are not fired from a cannon, and the chances of getting used to with each new impulsive purchase are higher.
Take passion and not spend a lot of money: how?
Is it possible to buy everything you need, save a significant amount and ensure a good mood? Certainly yes. Joint purchases come to the rescue - "SP 96". Shopaholics of Samara have long rated them asan effective tool that saves the family budget.
Everyone likes to buy things cheaper, but of high quality. A few years ago, they came up with the following mechanism: a group of people come together to order a large batch of products directly from the manufacturer. The factory sells the goods at a wholesale price, and the organizer of such an event takes a small percentage as a reward. The benefit compared to a retail purchase in a physical store varies from 30 to 70 percent.
Do shopaholics know how to buy things in bulk? SP taught them this. Fortunately, there are special resources where experienced organizers of bulk purchases post detailed instructions and large catalogs. Here, users can share their impressions of a particular batch of goods. As soon as the required number of applicants is recruited for the lot proposed by the organizer, the order is sent to the supplier and in just a few days the treasured little things are in the hands of the participants.
All organizational issues are taken over by the one who deals with the joint venture. Often this is a person who has the legal status of an individual entrepreneur, since plants and factories cannot sell wholesale lots to physical buyers without extra charges. The organizer takes full responsibility for communicating with the supplier, paying bills, arranging delivery and handing out the goods. Many reserve the right for buyers to return unsuitable goods, which are then sold at a retail price.
So, a shopaholic is someone who doesn't know how to spend money wisely. The joint shopping service allows you to eliminate this disease, fill the houseessentials and save money.
Organize yourself: is it possible?
The thought comes to mind: if it's so easy, why shouldn't I do it? She visited the heads of many, and people got down to business - and successfully. True, you need to understand that money does not fall from the sky, and the organization of a joint venture requires certain efforts, in particular, the trust of potential buyers.
Most difficult moments:
- it is not always possible to communicate with the supplier in Russian;
- you need to build your own customer base;
- must be self-employed.
If the language barrier and the complexity of the legislation are not a problem, you can safely start organizing your own business. You can build up a clientele through regional forums, social networks, but it is best to start with your friends and good acquaintances. The first purchases may not go too smoothly - for example, the deadlines will be delayed due to the lack of ordering experience. It is necessary to find such clients for the first batches, who will be sympathetic to a slight delay.
