For those of you who are boycotting Black Friday in general, something to think about...
-
Black Friday is the day for which each store manager can visibly see
their sales trend for the rest of the season and schedule (or even
hire!) accordingly.
- 70% of retail sales are made in the last 10 weeks of the year
- In the last hour selling of December 24th a retail location will do sales that surpass the entire month of January
-
On December 24th a retail location's sales will equal or surpass the
sales of January, February, March and in some rare cases April.
... and lastly, for those of you who are opting to boycott, I invite
you to consider the economy, the job market and your own piece of mind
by planning ahead and shopping evenly throughout the year.
