Ok, so what is Black Friday

Black Friday is commonly referred to the Friday following Thanksgiving. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping) for more information about the origins). Businesses prepare themselves to wage war against each other for precious customers (and their dollars), since black friday signals the beginning of the shopping season.

As many companies do depend on black friday sales to show profits they are very keen in introducing prices and services that are never before seen or heard. Each company then tries to lure and retain consumers so that they buy larger-margin items. Is understanding this thinking that we (as consumers) can have a large advantage over companies and their pricing (for us, we can make our dollars go farther and get more of what we like to get).

So what is this blog about

In a sentence:

“About strategies to get the best deals out of shopping the Friday after Thanksgiving”

This blog contains information about the American Friday after thanksgiving, where the majority of stores compete for the American buyer by putting unbelievable promotions out there. This blog is dedicated to helping the “consumer” get the best deal out of black Friday, know how to participate and tilt the scales to our favor in any shopping we do.

Part of the reason that this blog is created is that many people are flabbergasted by the ruckus that happens the day after thanksgiving. Also a lot of people don’t see that in reality black Friday is a chess game; the consumer (with its hard-earned dollars) and the companies that try to lure them to spend time in their stores.
