Black Friday Sales are Critical for Stores
As we all know, tomorrow is the day after Thanksgiving, that means that it is Black Friday. I never go out to the mall on Black Friday. I mean you cannot get a parking space and people push and shove on the escalators. It just is not my scene at all. The stores need a good turn out tomorrow because they need to make a good profit. However, I think most people are opting for online purchases instead of heading out to the mall to buy items on Black Friday. Walmart now has shipping site to store which helps eliminate shipping fees and allows you to avoid having to go shopping in a large store during the holiday season shopping time. It is a great feature that I have used a few times with larger items that are only available online. Many people do go to those 5 am-11 am sales. I cannot imagine getting up that early just to shop. Now, do they take down the signs after 11 am? Or do the sales prices last all day long? I don’t understand how that works. Will you go shopping on Black Friday?
