Bad Economy = Higher Necktie Sales!

Posted by Alex in Fashion, Money & Finance on June 22, 2008 at 2:10 am


Whodathunkit: credit crunch and economic woes in the UK had actually spurred a spike in necktie sales! And here’s why:

Richard Whitbread, marketing manager of Tie Rack, said: "Since the doom and gloom set in, sales of ties have picked up. We have seen a 10 per cent increase in sales over the last quarter.

"When people start to be more concerned about their jobs, they start to smarten up. Also a lot of people are looking for jobs at the moment."

    “When people start to be more concerned about their jobs, they start to smarten up. Also a lot of people are looking for jobs at the moment.”

    He forgot to mention the people who go home and use the tie to commit suicide because they failed at providing for their family.

    Sounds like the best way to make money in a bad economy is to set up shop selling ties.

    That´s a good point jerry. I would like a nice tie to hung myself, if that were the case.
