Description:
K. First off, what’s the difference between a “clearance event” and a “clearance sale?”
I know this is semantics, but I’m genuinely curious… is it just that the business holding the sale doesn’t want to acknowledge that they’re parting with stuff at a lower rate? That they’re “above” sales? Is it that they think listing something as an “event” makes it sound bigger and snazzier? I’ve noticed that car dealerships do this a lot, but somehow the linguistics really stick out more when it’s something, oh, I dunno, not sleazy, like EMS doing the pitch.
Nevertheless, there are stellar deals to be had at EMS right now. I’m a little slow on the draw for this sale, so sorry if you have an unusual shoe size that’s already been snatched up!
Since this is a repeating event, I’ll keep it on my radar and hopefully be able to list it earlier next time!
Thanks!

This Boulder, CO-based store is having one of its periodic warehouse sales online. This one features running gear (no shoes) at 50% off. Not too shabby, but the pickin’s are slim.
