Walmart Reveals Cyber Monday Plans
Even so, the shopping “holiday” could be loosing some of its luster.
Walmart assistant store manager, Jeff Berg, says the rush of customers during large scale events helps add to the atmosphere of holiday shopping. Black Friday sale prices will be available on its website a day earlier, beginning at midnight on November 23.
“While retail CMOs expect an overall holiday sales pop (+4.7%), they continue to see Thanksgiving Weekend fizzling in importance”, the survey said. But it’s not just video games that Amazon will be discounting though, so keep an eye on other related tech and gear you might want to pick up on the cheap.
“I think it is going to be even busier than previous year because of all the nice weather we have been having”, Smith said.
J.C. Penney Black Friday 2016 Store Sales Hours – J.C. Penny’s start its Black Friday Deals as early as 3 P.M., on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 24. “Last year was my first year working on Black Friday and I opened, so it was pretty insane”, Smith said. “We recommend the apps from Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, and Target”.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc.is starting its online Cyber Week sales several days early this year, with plans to start Friday at 12:01 a.m. For me, even armed with the information that Black Friday deals are powerful, this working mother will be spending the day with her feet up, enjoying the long weekend at home.
More and more, the real world shopping experience is being extended into the digital world as people research online products they are looking at in store.
Black Friday is the most critical shopping day of the year for most retailers. Since then, the proliferation of smart phones has given shoppers constant Web access and now Cyber Monday is being used by retailers to pull in shoppers hungry for deals continually.
However, as the online return period is protected under law while its high street counterpart can vary store to store and is not legally enforced, you could be better protected when shopping online. It is usually the most hectic day of the year for online shopping.
“I like to tell people go for the deals, the items that are good deals on Black Friday and don’t worry about those door busters because unless you’re willing to camp out for hours, you’re just not going to get them”.
