actually sales is the plural of the noun "sale". Why would you use
the plural in this context? Especially as it typically means "<span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">a period
during which a shop or dealer sells goods at reduced prices."</span>

</div>
<div>I agree that the word "sells" is better for use as a tag, a
verb is ok for a property, a plural noun less so, and even less
as it's highly ambiguous in this case.</div>
