Black Friday is nearly here
Like it or not, it’s coming soon. Black Friday is only days away, and this year’s Busiest Shopping Day of the Year will boast more online shopping then ever before.
But what are people looking for?
Netbook and laptop deals are hot ticket items. Leaked Black Friday ads show impressive door-buster bargains from big box retailers. Examples from BlackFriday.info include:
- $400 Toshiba 16-inch laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo chip, 3GB RAM, 250GB hard drive) from Best Buy
- $250 Acer 11.6-inch netbook (Intel Atom Z520, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drive) from Radio Shack
Of course, stores will have limited quantities of these loss leaders. Are you an early bird? Are you going to be standing in line with 2000 other people at 2 am? Or are you already scouting out that perfect laptop by asking questions such “Where will be the best place to buy a Netbook on Black Friday?
People may wonder how the economy will affect spending this year. Unemployment rates are the highest they’ve been in nearly three decades with no end in site and retailers are worried that consumers will be frugal for the holidays. As a result, there may be more competition for those $299 laptops and people want to know, “What are the Blu Ray player Black Friday deals at Walmart?” They are searching for free shipping and bonuses as well as any way to save money. But who can blame them?
What are the must have items that everyone is scrambling for?
It’s no secret that technology is dropping in price but high-def TVs are looking particularly economical this season. “Where can I find a 32 inch television for less than $300 on Black Friday? and similar questions are gaining popularity. And who can blame them? People simply can’t afford the $1500 projection tv any more and are looking for the most bang for their buck.
I think without a doubt this year will be the most heavily researched Black Friday yet as people who may have never really researched prices are craving the help in knowing who has the best price and are turning to online searches and asking questions to point them in the right direction. It’s the smart thing to do and it’s not too late to ask a question and get the results you need.
