According to theblackfriday.com, a website devoted to annual black Friday predictions, trendspotting, and store-housing popular deals, this year will again include frenzied shoppers pushing back from their Thanksgiving meals and rushing out to take advantage of 6pm, 11pm, and midnight deals. All of this before “Black Friday” itself.
As we’ve seen for a few years now, Black Friday, and its online partner Cyber Monday, have become a selling concept, rather than just individual days; I was at Old Navy today, November 19, and a store associate recommended I visit again on Saturday (the 22nd) for a 50% off day everything sale…and that’s a full week before the “real” Black Friday.
