Keep Shopping!

I considered not posting a blog today because you would all be out shopping and wouldn't read it.   But as I thought about Black Friday and what it is becoming I realized that more of you are probably shopping online in your pajamas.

Over the past two years online shopping has been cutting into what was once a mad dash into Wal-Mart.  This year I noticed  more and more stores putting out pre-black Friday ads to draw the customer in a week early.  Still, the push to be the first destination continues by retailers and we have seen more stores deciding to open Thursday night this year. I suppose that is what the consumer has demanded.  It's proven with full parking lots at Wal-Mart and the malls Thursday evening.  

I would have thought that online shopping would have taken some of the pressure off of Black Friday but it doesn't seem to have.   The shoppers just keep on shopping.
