Believe it or not even the rich and famous of Malibu (the Bu), West Side Los Angeles and Hollywood have cut their retail shopping escapades. Everyone is cutting back their shopping purchases, even those who have what others might believe to be extraordinary wealth. In fact, the shops along Beverly Hills' famous Rodeo Drive Speed Up Dsl do not sell enough high-end merchandise to even stay in business or turn a profit.
Still, those big glitzy brand names must keep their image up and operate those stores even at a loss. Some have posted dismal monthly results losing in excess of 30 to 40,000 dollars per month, just to be in the lime light and have a place in the World Famous shopping district. Tough times never last, but strong brand names will, is their feeling.
Why not take advantage of these big high-powered brand name retail outlets while merchandise is highly discounted? Ever want to own a $14,000 dress or a purse that costs $35,000? Well you might get that dress for $4,000 or that purse for under $10,000 right now. You can find all the wonderful outlets in the local give-away Beverly Hills City Guide at all the local hotels or on the corners of the Rodeo Drive Shopping District.
There are also so very nice full-color glamour magazines at local coffee shops and restaurants. Of course, if you are planning a trip to Beverly Hills, give yourself 2-3 full days of shopping, book your travel plans online and check out the wonderful city guides on the Internet. Beverly Hills needs you more than you think right now. It's time to take advantage of their low prices and movie star status hospitality, while the getting is good! Think on this.
