Johnson pointed out that last year, JC Penney had 590 promotions, which made it seem that everyone was always on sale in some form or another. Honestly, that's tremendously confusing for consumers, as you basically can't keep track of what's on sale. I agree. I wanted to buy a sports jacket at Macy's, but their continuous sales made me wait for a long time. Every time I would just peek into the store; and then convince myself to wait till the next big "sale" came along. In a sense, it's like the "secretary problem".
