It's interesting that the reports are vague in what really went on with Black Friday and CyberMonday. The reports state (that I've seen) that consumerism rose on those days.
How about the actual revenue/income? Did anyone make money, or did they break even to last year due to larger discounts? And if companies did make money, how much of an increase was it over last year? Anyone have links for this kind of data?
Sorry, I think this thread just got hijacked.
Well, I read after black Friday that altho lots of people the margins were razor thin. I thought it interesting a Forum member was inquiring about a Radio Shack item... online a huge discount & free shipping but the store had it the regular 149.00 price. Seems like this would drive people to seek the Net for purchases.
