Which Retailer Will Win Black Friday?
Black Friday is no longer a one-day event, as retailers push the boundaries on just how early they begin discounting their merchandise. Walmart (NYSE: WMT) began offering holiday deals almost a week before Halloween this year, although it didn't actually call them Black Friday sales, but rather Early Drop Deals.
Businesses are also opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day and making their Black Friday sales available online just about the time people are finishing their turkey. This has spread out the impact of Black Friday across several days. In fact, the unofficial start to holiday shopping now encompasses the five-day period between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday.
