Wait for more than a month and then it's over. Black Friday, the event that every American consumer and retailer looks forward to. The flow of rumors, forecasts and news is currently under way. What everyone wants to know is how much it will be converted this year. Who are the risers and who the valleys? Where can you buy your new Playstation?Although Black Friday is still the biggest selling event, Thanksgiving is gaining more space, now retailers often open their doors on the conscious Thursday night. Together, the days this year are expected to be good for most sales ever: $ 12.6 billion, BestBlackFriday expects. On Black Friday, 8.8 billion is taken, while Thanksgiving has to do $ 3.8 billion. As a result, sales on Black Friday would fall 3.3 percent lower than last year. Thanks to this forecast, Thanksgiving is getting more turnover than in 2014: plus 18.8 percent.
The national holiday has already hit Black Friday's sales over recent years. In 2011, another 11.4 billion was taken on Black Friday (both off and online), in 2014 it was only 9.1 billion. Although still a considerable amount, it's still the scare of every Black Friday fan.
And also online is gaining more space. Because consumers often prefer online shopping, many retailers also offer their Black Friday offers online. The website expects to buy $ 3.35 billion online on both days, of which $ 1.85 billion on Black Friday and 1.5 billion on Thanksgiving. An increase of 33.3 percent over last year.
While there are retailers who only join physical stores, there are more and more retailers offering the offers through both channels. Pure players like Amazon go hard during the festivities. Throughout the month of November, the online retailer has already signed up for Black Friday. As of November 1, the action will start with the pure player, with the discount coming up with the best deals on Black Friday.
Blocking Black Friday
Many retailers have already opened their stores on Thanksgiving's evening and so continue the sales period to 'the day after'. But there are also retailers who refused the early opening during Thanksgiving. Staples told last week to keep his doors closed during the public holiday. Why? "Our employees and customers deserve to celebrate Thanksgiving at home with their family and friends." Furthermore, the retailer indicates that customers have benefited from action earlier that month, and can also hit the internet online during the public holidays. And oh, not worried: The stores open the next morning at six o'clock for Black Friday.
Facts or fables
Nice all, but is Black Friday not a little overrated? And do consumers still score the best deals during the Black Friday itself? Michael Communigs wrote on Dealnews.com a blog about the fourteen myths around Black Friday. Are the deals on Cyber Monday worse than on Black Friday? And is Black Friday really as dangerous for shoppers as it is alleged? Judge yourself: This site keeps track of. Seven dead and 98 injured so far.
Criticism is there too. Black Friday is mainly about "mass consumerism madness" that causes the big box retailers, says David Dietz. It overshadows the trend of the craft, says the designer who calls small retailers to warn Black Friday. But he can not do that either, he writes in The Huffington Post . The focus is much appreciated by him. The pleasure of a purchase, but also the family thought of the holiday season have disappeared. And in addition to a few dollars, the consumer does not really win, he says. The big retailers simply buy lower quality products. For small retailers and designers, there is nothing else to cut in their margins, they want to come a little with the action period.
