Retail Impact:
Black Friday has been a major revenue building day for retail brands since the 1980s. The name referenced “being in the black” after a year of “being in the red” with low profits. Like most marketing campaigns and sales tactics, Black Friday has evolved since the eighties. What was once a one-day sale at a few stores has expanded into a multi-day sale including Cyber Monday to drive online sales. According to the Commerce Department, “In 2019, shoppers spent more than $600 billion online, up nearly 15% from the previous year”. Online sales will be more crucial than ever this year since retail, as well as the hospitality and service industries, have taken a hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of strict social distancing rules, store capacity limitations, and health and safety concerns, in-person Black Friday deals will look different this year. According to a study conducted by Visa, “only 20% of U.S. consumers plan to do their shopping exclusively in-store, while nearly a third plan to do most of their shopping online”. Some large stores, like Target, Home Depot, and Best Buy will begin offering their “Black Friday” deals weeks in advance to limit crowds in their brick and mortar stores on Black Friday. Target recently announced another change to their in-store shopping model. They will now be offering a way to check if there is a line outside the Target store in your area. You can even reserve your spot in line and be notified when it is your turn to enter the store. Pivoting Black Friday deals to weeks long sales might not increase the overall revenue, but it will create a safer shopping experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
