They labor under the mistaken idea that Black Friday is a money making proposition for mega-stores like Wal Mart and Target.
They lose money on Black Friday!
The less they sell on Black Friday the more $$ they will take in during the holiday season...they have no real competitors in the marketplace.
They have to compete in the circus that is Black Friday to stay ‘in the game’ .... but they don’t enjoy it.
Every shopper that stays home for a Black Friday boycott puts money in the large retailer’s pockets.
The only way to hurt the big retailers is to convince a large number of people to not spend at all or to greatly reduce spending during the holidays...that is not likely.
I’m not buying anything on Black Friday or any other day, I got no money to put in anyone’s pockets
Cool - now I have an excuse to buy that keyboard I’ve been thinking about getting.
Are you sure about this. You do know what the meaning of the term "black" Friday is right?
The less they sell on Black Friday the more $$ they will take in during the holiday season...they have no real competitors in the marketplace. They have to compete in the circus that is Black Friday to stay ‘in the game’ .... but they don’t enjoy it.
If they have no competitors, why would they have to participate?
I'm just asking. I'm no business expert. I was always under the impression that all the great black Friday "deals" being offered were really just outdated, inferior, off brand junk being sold to the poor and ignorant like it was something great. I think the retailers do just fine on Black Friday.
