Black Friday Growing Each Year

Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year in the US, is an annual tradition, and today the tradition is growing.

The busiest shopping day of the year is producing the busiest shopping month of the year, and now businesses are hoping they can continue to attract shoppers with their great deals before the day after Thanksgiving.

The idea that shoppers want to get an early start on their Christmas list has spawned a new way of thinking when it comes to the month of November. Stores across the US have started offering early Black Friday deals and enticing customers to their doors before the end of the month.

This has created a buzz in the retail industry but has also increased profits for the many retail outlets that are counting on the crush of consumers during this holiday tradition. This is a new approach to the tradition that has been part of the American culture for 100 years.

Of course the online venues have also gotten involved with the Black Friday games.

With the new deals and breaks on shipping, online retailers are able to entice far more customers who have no interest in standing in long lines and waiting outside in the cold for a great deal.

So the battle for the Black Friday profits has begun and industry forecasts show that this will be the best year for many of the retail outlets in the past three years.

Shoppers are applauding the changes to the Black Friday tradition, saying that it is easier to get those special gifts and complete their holiday shopping much earlier in the season.
