Known for its “door-buster” deals and insane discounts, the day after Thanksgiving has traditionally signaled the launch of the holiday shopping season, a day commonly known as “Black Friday.”
Among retailers like best buy, sears, costco, target and many others, Black Friday 2011 promises to provide some of the most heavy discounts ever on extremely popular items like HDTVs, video games and systems, new tablet computers, smart phones and a host of popular consumer electronics.
The ever increasing connectivity of technology and the internet are making this Black Friday, and the Monday that follows known as Cyber Monday, more exciting and enticing to holiday shoppers than ever.
Using the internet and email promotions, retailers are able to draw in the attention of more and more bargain hunters with bigger and better promotions and discounts on gifts for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season.
Cyber Monday itself could never have existed without the internet. On this first Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday, etailers, as well as retail giants, offer similar Black Friday deals to customers who make a purchase online. In fact, Cyber Monday is becoming so popular that its sales number in recent years are becoming a strong rival to Black Friday itself.
