Night market attracts young customers
The shopping atmosphere at Hanh Thong Tay night market (Go Vap district), Pham Van Hai (Tan Binh district)... in the days leading up to Tet At Ty is very bustling. The stores said they also imported many new models to meet the demand during the peak shopping season.
At Hanh Thong Tay night market, around 7pm, young people were already bustling around the market. Clothing, shoes, and handbags were of many designs and colors on the shelves that stretched along the street.
Ngoc Han (23 years old, living in Go Vap district) revealed that usually half a month before Tet, she invites her friends to go shopping and look around, but she is not in a hurry to buy anything. Han prefers to choose the night market because the prices are reasonable and the designs are diverse, from clothes, shoes to accessories.
The bustling atmosphere at the night market made Han feel more clearly the approaching Tet atmosphere.
Ms. Hong Hue (50 years old), owner of a shoe store at Hanh Thong Tay night market, said that the market will be much more crowded in the days leading up to Tet.
This year, retailers listen to young customers' trends to import goods. She said most young people usually go to the market two weeks before Tet, buy what they like, avoid the situation of running out of beautiful designs or sizes, and also buy early so they can go back to their hometowns.
"Because online shopping is so competitive, to be honest, we really rely on revenue during these days before Tet," Ms. Hue acknowledged.

The store is also bustling with customers coming and going.
Shops on Tran Quang Dieu Street (District 3) were also bustling with customers coming and going at 8pm. Many customers had to wait because the fitting rooms were full.
Sales staff said that although the economy is somewhat gloomy this year, Tet purchasing power has not decreased compared to last year. Shops selling Ao Dai are popular with customers.
Thuy Yen (28 years old, living in District 3) and her mother and sister said they often shop for Tet clothes on this street. Yen said that a shirt here ranges from 150,000 - 250,000 VND depending on the material and style. This price is suitable for students.
In particular, many stores also have attractive promotions such as free accessories, "buy 1 get 1 free" offers or great discounts.
Quynh Tram (20 years old) took the opportunity to go shopping in the evening before returning home. She said she had chosen many satisfactory items.
Tram shared: “Not only during Tet, but also when I need to shop, I often come here. Here, there is everything from clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry to cosmetics… very convenient.”
Meanwhile, Nguyen Trai fashion street (District 5) is also more bustling. Having worked in Ho Chi Minh City for more than 5 years, Quynh Hoa (25 years old, living in District 8) always goes to fashion stores on Nguyen Trai street to shop every Tet holiday.
“I like shopping here because of the variety of designs, sizes and reasonable prices. In these difficult economic times, I prioritize beautiful items at reasonable prices,” Hoa smiled.
