It’s time to bust the 10 biggest Black Friday misconceptions. “They like to spend time with their families and then they like to come out shopping”, says Aaron Powell, a store manager at Walmart. The retail store giant will now hope to snag holiday shoppers by pre-poning the Cyber Monday deals a few hours earlier on Sunday according to ABC News report.
And you don’t have to be in a store line to get in on the action.
Cyber Monday – the first Monday after Thanksgiving – has always been touted as the day when online retailers roll out their holiday specials. The reason: Many people returned to work and used their office’s high-speed Internet connection to shop.
Cyber Monday is likely to remain the biggest online shopping day of the season, according to data from Adobe.
Toys R Us loyalty customers on Sunday were able to snag Black Friday deals four days early, and the toy store chain is continuing that trend for Cyber Monday. Target and rival Wal-Mart Stores Inc. began opening on Thanksgiving three years ago to better compete with online retailers and other competitors.
As for online deals, many retailers like Walmart and Best Buy say a majority of their in-store deals will be available online, but not all of them.
The NRF’s Preliminary Thanksgiving Weekend Survey estimated 135.8 million people will shop on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Small Business Saturday. So, while they will be crowded on Black Friday, they might not be as busy as you expect.
