Target also unveiled its promotional strategy for Black Friday, wherein it will launch an innovative “10 Days of Deals”.
More discounted deals from Staples are also expected to arrive during the aforementioned holiday.
Other than Best Buy, Target also announced that it will deal a price markdown on its items this coming Thanksgiving Day, according to Tech Times.
Walmart is again offering a mobile check-in service that lets you buy online and pick up your items in the store.
