The extinction of Black Friday is not a question of “if”, but about “when” and “how” The process of the extinction of Black Friday is moving on while you still are digesting the turkey from yesterday. By the way happy Thanksgiving to all U.S. fellows. Today it’s a traditional shopping day. It’s the day when the bargain of the year, or at least for this coming Christmas, will be your goal. Two years ago I wrote in my blog post that, “This year we will probably remember as the year of the changes.” Black Friday is an old tradition, and the shopping part of it is going back to almost a century ago. By then we didn’t have a clue about the next Internet and online business development. Black Friday was designed for a typical retail approach. You are still eager to spend money and make the bargain of the year, but the purchase pattern has changed completely. Figures show clearly the trend. Total sales are up year after year, while the number of people visiting retail stores is declining. So, a better word for the extinction of Black Friday would then be the pattern change of Black Friday. 1/3
