With the approach of the holiday season, anticipation builds for the biggest shopping day of the year: Black Friday 2023. Set to take place on the 24th of November, following the American tradition, it falls the day after Thanksgiving. This year, the sales event is expected to not only span the day itself but continue through to Cyber Monday on the 27th of November, with many retailers offering extended discounts throughout the weekend. The UK’s leading sports retailer will be joining the fray, offering a plethora of deals on sports equipment, outdoor clothing, footwear, and accessories.
Renowned retailers like John Lewis have traditionally started their sales in the weeks leading up to Black Friday, a trend that is likely to continue. The day is regarded as the pinnacle of shopping holidays, often featuring a wide array of deals from various categories such as tech gadgets, home appliances, and much more. Ensuring inventory is well-planned is crucial for businesses to maximise potential sales during this peak traffic period.
Walmart’s Black Friday event is expected to launch early, starting from November 6 and concluding on November 26. This allows shoppers to take advantage of discounts on a wide range of products, from smart tech to festive advent calendars. It is the ideal time for consumers to secure products that may have previously seemed too costly, with savings of up to 80% being anticipated.
As we prepare for this significant surge in shopping activity, it is essential to remember the importance of making sustainable purchases. Reduction in consumption should be prioritised over recycling, promoting a more environmentally conscious approach during this busy buying period. It’s also a prime time for adventure-seekers to book their next journey, with impressive Black Friday and Cyber Monday cruise deals poised for the taking.
For those ready to indulge in the frenzy, Black Friday 2023 is not just a day, but a weekend-long event packed with deals that are sure to entice consumers globally.
