Will You be Participating in Black Friday Sales? [Ask The Readers]

[Field Nurse]

The current economic situation in the United States has made retailers extra nervous about the holiday shopping season. Many retailers are already offering deep discounts to pull in shoppers and Black Friday sales themselves are looking promising. Further, retailers are using the turnout as a barometer for the whole season.

"While Black Friday sales and promotions have been tremendously successful for the last few years, the day itself takes on a bit more importance when consumers are struggling," said Ellen Davis, spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation. "In a down economy, people are willing to get up at 3 a.m. and sit in a line outside a store."
