Holiday savings are a shore thing at North Myrtle Beach

Dec. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Black Friday sales at Myrtle Beach stores kicked off a 2009 holiday season loaded with discounts for buyers – local and from around the nation.

The S.C. coastal community has long been synonymous with shopping – regularly attracting bargain hunters from all over the country. However, with retailers trying to pull out of a recession, many of this year’s prices come as the lowest in some time.

Stores at Barefoot Landing, Tanger Outlets and beyond are coaxing consumers’ purchasing decisions with deals of “Buy one get two free,” savings vouchers, etc.

Property rental agency Grand Strand Vacations decided to join the discounting trend. They’re offering one free night at any of their luxury homes, condos or apartments. With more than 300 get-away properties, Grand Strand looks to take holiday gift shopping to the next level for visitors.

“We’re doing this because we want to help people out a bit – it’s been a tough year for a lot of folks,” said Nancy Seddinger, owner of Grand Strand Vacations. “This gives people a chance to really enjoy the season without breaking the bank. We know holiday shopping can be a sport. At the end of the day, you might as well put your feet up and relax somewhere that feels like home – except in our properties, the ocean serves as your backyard.”

With major retailers offering discounts of 70 percent and more, the savings can be tremendous for those looking to stock up. Couple this with Grand Strand Vacations offer – arrive any Wednesday during December, stay through Sunday and get the fourth night free – and the values mean happy holiday bargain hunting.
