As the holidays rush by, you might too find yourself rushing to get things done. Rushing to get Halloween costumes, rushing to plan the perfect Thanksgiving meal, and rushing to get all the holiday gift shopping done. With that in mind, it seems Retail has just about the same schedule. Retail begins its big rush of hiring, grand dash of decoration, and even larger scale of selling than any other time of the year.
It is this time of year when companies finally come out of the red financially (deficit), and fall into the black (profiting). In fact most of the years profits are made in one day infamously known as “Black Friday”. Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving when stores slash prices, and customers are known to cut throats (not literally) in order to get the best deals of the season. In recent years deaths have even been associated with Black Friday, as crowds can get large and vicious.
You probably find yourself asking, what’s the big deal anyway. Black Friday is indeed a big deal as prices are cut about 20 to 25 percent on average in most stores, and it is for one day, and one day only. Some find that it is impossible to shop on this day as a result of all overcrowding, so if you are one of these people, online shopping is the best solution. The Internet creates haven from crowds and during the holidays you are sure to find free shipping. Discounts can be found online during the holidays, but most cannot compare with Black Friday in store prices. However, if you can stand crowded stores and long lines Black Friday is definitely both a good investment in time and money.
