Retailers have become infamous over the past few decades for
their constant expansion of the “holiday shopping season.” That expansion has
been furthered in past years by increased competition from online retail
outlets. The question then, at this point, is where to go from here?
Well, with Black Friday being the the focal point of the
season, the answer seems obvious: Thanksgiving. Why not get a jump on the
retail push by making all of your employees come into work when they should be
at home, eating food with their families?
Kmart did so last year, and plans to do it again in 2010.
This year Sears is joining in. The old school department store is offering a
number of deals on the Sunday through Wednesday leading up for the holiday
(like $800 off a 46 inch Sony HDTV).
On Thaksgiving Day, the company will be offering one day
only deals from manufacturers like Panasonic, Zenith, and RCA. Kmart will be
offering TV deals on Turkey Day, as well, including a $500 46 inch Panasonic
HDTV.
