Retailers Will Put Deepest Holiday Discounts Online, This Year.
Shoppers used to standing in line for hours to take advantage of the best holiday deals on Black Friday.
Are being directed online by major retailers, including Walmart and Lowe's.
Covid [has] really changed everything.
Now, nobody even wants to be standing next to somebody, let alone fighting a crowd to get something, Marshal Cohen, The NPD Group, via CNBC.
Instead of single-day deals, some of the deepest discounts are occurring online over the course of the shopping season.
Retailers are separating their deals by category, such as toys, electronics and home goods.
Shoppers have expressed relief that Black Friday 2020 will not be the usual logistical nightmare of arriving at particular stores at particular times.
I kind of wish this would become the norm, Julie Ramhold, DealNews.com, via CNBC
