In the age of e-commerce, Black Friday’s significance has evolved. While it traditionally marks the holiday shopping season’s start, retailers now launch Black Friday deals weeks in advance online and via email.
Historically, and according to advertising, the best deals often extend from Black Friday to Cyber Monday (BFCM), a crucial four-day period for retailers. This is particularly true for high-value items, seasonal goods, and trending products.
However, consumer advocates emphasize that significant discounts aren’t exclusive to this period. They recommend comparing prices, researching past pricing trends, and carefully reading terms and conditions to ensure value for money.
Many shoppers still appreciate the in-person experience of holiday shopping. Retailers are offering in-store events and exclusive deals to attract customers. Several stores closed on Thanksgiving Day will reopen early Friday to jumpstart the holiday shopping season.
