Black Friday

This Friday is the Black Friday, and a lot is going on with it already.  I will be shopping that morning but stores open on Thanksgiving.  This is causing a lot of debate.  I hope to find a lot of deals sound systems and hopefully some fish stuff before they are all sold out.  The name Black Friday came from the red zone and black zone term.  Stores are normally in the red zone which is where they have spent more than they have sold.  The black zone is where they have sold more than they have bought.  Black Friday is generally when most stores move from the red zone to the black zone.  Last year's Black Friday gave three main focuses of the stores to help the consumers. First, consumers like to be able to buy online and in stores.  Stores this year are putting a lot of deals online and even more in store.  Second, consumers like to be able to buy from home.  Stores are having huge sales and giving out coupons online for in store sales.  Lastly, consumers like a good experience.  They will  buy more if they have a better experience.  Stores are now opening as early as 8 pm on Thanksgiving in order to make shopping easier for their customers and give them more time to.  Now people who have to work on Black Friday can shop on Thanksgiving. Overall, stores have changed for the better for consumers, and made it harder on their workers.
