CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SCENARIO Many Consumers Wait Until the Weekend Before Christmas to Do

Multiple Choice

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SCENARIO
Many consumers wait until the weekend before Christmas to do their gift shopping, and Lanny is one of those consumers. She did not want to go to a crowded mall as she only had a Saturday to do all of her shopping. She saw an advertisement that morning in the newspaper for a new store that claims to be the "right destination for all kinds of Christmas shopping." She decided to go there instead of the mall in order to avoid the crowd in the mall. While she was in the new store, she was trying to keep a track of her purchases in her head in an attempt to avoid going overboard and winding up with a huge credit card bill next month. In just two hours, Lanny was able to purchase all the gifts she needed and even found a cute bracelet for herself though the bracelet was not a part of the shopping list that she had made earlier.
