"Tis the season to spend Money.
What Are Your Holiday Shopping Habits?"
Winter 2007
CORRIDOR INC.
We started with a professional. Pamela Burns, a Potomac native, is a
personal shopper. With clients up and down the corridor, she spends her days
in the stores finding the right stuff for clients. She normally charges
purchases and when she¹s with a client, nine out of 10 tend to use credit
cards too, she says.
Some clients, if they are really budgeting themselves, will use cash, she
added.
She chooses American Express for client purchases and she usually uses
about 98 percent of the limit, so she makes sure it¹s paid off at the end of
each month, she says.
And when it comes to a budget, Burns says she sticks to her holiday shopping
limit. Being in the stores all the time, Burns has the inside scoop on sales, coupons
and deals.
