Black Fridays!!!!!!

I think people universally know "Black Friday" as the day after Thanksgiving when holiday shopping season kicks off with a big bang -- as all the major retailers try to outdo each other with discounts to entice us all in their doors. With the economy being what it is, discounting is becoming a way of life and an expectation on the consumer's part. This season, many retailers have jumped off the band wagon and started "Black Friday" early -- one even started on October 30th! This is because last year's reaction to the stock market crash sent retailers scurrying to dump merchandise at huge discounts and now consumers are waiting on the side lines for last year to happen again. But, it won't. Retailers have been able to pare down their inventory levels and do not have to "get rid" of stuff this year like last. But the smart ones are starting Holiday discounting early in hopes of getting more of the consumers' dollar. So how does a small retailer like us compete? We decided to think outside the box ourselves and are having a weekly Black Friday special just for our customers! Keep you posted!
