To My Bargain Hunters (# 8)

Season’s Greetings!


Tis the season to be shopping, yes as we all know it’s that time of year again, Thanksgiving is down the street and Christmas is right around the corner.  For businesses this means it’s time to make the real dollars and end the 4th Quarter on a strong not, for consumers this means Black Friday deals.  Around this time of year businesses present what we call Seasonal Discounts, the technical definition is lower-than-normal prices offered as incentive to buyers to make out-of-season purchases for seasonal goods or services.  Retail stores are ideal to this type of discounting; they make their largest profit throughout the year during the time ranging from Thanksgiving to New Years. 
The National Retail Federation’s Holiday Consumer Spending Survey estimates that American shoppers are likely to spend $804.42 each this holiday season, and nearly half of those surveyed say they will spend some of that money shopping online.  These bargain hunters don’t play any games during this time of year.  It makes you wonder if the purpose of the actual Thanksgiving holiday has gotten lost in the propaganda that is big business.  Moving on now, one company that is notorious for success during this time of year to the point where other companies are going to mirror their techniques this season is Walmart.  Last year they administered this technique where they had multiple sales throughout Thanksgiving day into Black Friday to prevent stampeding in their stores.  Let’s not forget about Cyber Monday, to eliminate so much chaos on the streets Cyber Monday was invited.  For those who don’t know this is the Monday right after Black Friday where online discounts will make your credit card say enough is enough. It is estimated that Cyber Monday will be more successful than Black Friday this year because the transition from in store shopping to online

shopping is at a steady growth.  So go find those bargains and get that Christmas shopping out the way this Black Friday slash Cyber Monday because the deals are there.

For all my sneaker heads out there, I know you all know what's dropping this Black Friday, probably the main reason I'll be out and about myself.   Those Black Infrared 6's are definitely making an appears in stores this Friday.  Now for all of my none sneaker wearers who do like the style and are looking at possibly splurging by getting a pair of these please be mindful that there are some fake's lying around out there.  I urge you not to go to just any back store, specially my people out in NYC because any good sneaker head knows all too well that you'll first get beat over your head for the price, and second they're probably some B grades.  So make sure you go out with someone who has experience in this category of shopping,  yes the world of sneakers can be a dark place so know what your getting yourself into.
