RetailMeNot.com shopping expert talks to NewsChannel 3 about Black Friday
Expecting to lead the way on Black Friday, starting early by releasing more than 7000 deals from midnight on November 23, offering millions of pounds in savings.
This year, retailers such as Nordstrom, Costco and Recreational Equipment, Inc., have chose to change the game by announcing their stores will not be open this Thanksgiving Day, according to the Atlantic. For others, it’s become less of a production than in years past.
Peter Ruscoe, centre manager of the shopping centre said: “We are delighted so many of our retailers are organising Black Friday discounts”.
Everywhere you look on Black Friday you’ll see a “deal”.
Research and plan. Pour over the Thanksgiving Day newspaper, which will weigh in at more than 5 pounds with exclusive coupons that won’t be offered online. The early bird coupons are available at all JCPenney locations until they run out. Just before Black Friday, a few stores make their announcements as to which items they would put on sale.
People shopping for toys may want to get started on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Gaffney says.
Electronics will go on deep discount on Thanksgiving Day, the forecast shows. On Cyber Monday, the store-wide sale amount you save will be 10 percent greater on Cyber Monday in most cases. It might also be smart to act by Cyber Monday, since prices are expected to increase after that. It’s the only holiday of which the basis is about family and friends coming together to share in a meal. But there’s no rush.
The commercialization of holidays as a time to buy everything your heart desires for a low price has led to this type of treatment for USA retail and warehouse workers.
He said the holiday shopping season is even more important to retailers here in Southwest Florida.
They intend to participate on the day by sticking to their Never Knowingly Undersold commitment to match competitors on price – with additional deals online and in store on the day. That’s your opportunity to get in and buy without the mob mentality. Many of these big name stores will want shoppers to wait until after Thanksgiving to get a head start on holiday shopping bargains. That shows that consumers are “catching on”, Gonzalez said.
