Hi Guys,
Again the UK are following our cousins across the Pond and are apparently going big on this concept of Black Friday, which according to the UK news, is an American Sales led retail Day traditionally after Thanks Giving. It is aimed at kick starting people into parting with money in the lead up to Christmas...
My question...
Does this Day / Week really offer good value to the consumer or is it simply a marketing gimmick dreamt up by fat cat execs to fool the masses into parting with their money by inflating prices pre Black Friday only to lower them during the period and hail them as bargains...
What's your views?
Be interesting to here from the American community to see what they think as it has been established there for some time now..
Is the UK offering any real savings or again just hype...
