Holiday Shopping Season Starts with Black Friday
Black Friday is the day in which merchants "official" kick off the
holiday shopping season. It is on this day that Merchants compete the hardest to get you in their stores and on thier websites. The reasone for this is, merchants believe if they can get costomers in thier stores at the
very start of the holiday shopping season, customers have an oppertunity to do more of their holiday shopping with them and less with compeditors. What this means for customers is stores are dramaticlly slashing prices, in some cases even at a loss, in an effort to get shoppers to their store first.
It is Estimated that 10 - 15% of all holiday shopping is done the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday. This year blackfriday falls closer to Christmas than usuall, November the 28th, with less time for holiday shopping merchants are expecting sales to be even greater than usual.
