SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE, THIS IS NEWS 6 AT 09:00AM. GETTING RESULTS.
>> WE HAVE THANKSGIVING COMING
UP. BUT THEN COMES BLACK
FRIDAY. AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU
ASK, YOU KNOW, SHOPPERS BIG
SHOPPERS RETAIL EXPERTS.
YOU WOULD SAY THAT BLACK FRIDAY
SHOPPING STARTED WEEKS AGO.
MORE AMERICANS ARE SHOPPING
ONLINE DURING
THE PANDEMIC AND MANY OF THE
NATION’S LARGEST RETAILERS BE
IN ROLLING OUT DISCOUNTS.
WELL BEFORE HALLOWEEN AND HOPES
OF SECURING EARLY SALES AND HAS
BEEN AN UNPREDICTABLE ARE
EXHAUSTED. I RECENTLY CHATTED
WITH DOCTOR CASEY ROLLINS
COLLEGE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR WHO
TEACHES CONSUMER BEHAVIOR ABOUT
HOLIDAY SHOPPING TRENDS.
>> WHAT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON
LOOKING LIKE THIS, THIS
SHOPPING SEASON. SO ONE THING
IS FOR CERTAIN DO OUR FOLKS IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA
OR ELSEWHERE. YOU’RE ON.
THE SHOPPING WILL BE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT HAS BEEN DIFFERENT
THAN THE ONE PART, THOUGH, KIND
OF THAT. I WANT TO BRING OUT.
ALTHOUGH WE WOULD
THINK THAT AND THEN IT HAS
AFFECTED EVERYONE. AND EVERY
SPENDING ABILITY AND WHAT
ACTUALLY IS NOT. I DIDN’T
SHOW THAT ABOUT 60% STILL SAY
THAT THE SHOPPING WILL NOT BE
IMPACTED GIVEN AND THEM MIGHT
EVEN INCREASE THIS YEAR
ONLY ABOUT 25% OR SO. THAT’S A
GOOD EYE THAT DECREES ARE
SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED.
I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE
SAME. AND THAT’S TRUE BECAUSE
THINK ABOUT YOU AND I, WE’RE
FORTUNATE TO HAVE A JOB.
KEEP A JOB. OUR
BIG STEALS, OUR INCOME LEVEL
HAS AN IMPACT AS MUCH. OF
COURSE, EVERYONE’S BEEN
IMPACTED BUT IS NOT
AS MUCH GIVEN THE CULTURAL
MORNING COACHING EXPERIENCE
THAT BLACK FRIDAY HOLIDAY
SHOPPING REPRESENTS.
YOU CAN. YOU CAN TELL THAT TO,
YOU KNOW, AND THE FUNERAL OR
A FINAL THAT, HEY, THIS WAS
THIS COUNCIL BECAUSE
THE PANDEMIC YOU’RE SEEING
BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING CENTER
BEING A ONE DAY EVENT HAS BEEN
ABOUT A WEEK LONG EVENT FOR
LONG BEEN A FINE. NOW AND NOW
IS SEEING THESE YOU EXTEND ALL
THE WAY UP TO NOVEMBER PAY.
IF YOU ASK ME BLACK FRIDAY
SHOPPING THIS YEAR. STARTED IN
MID-OCTOBER WHEN THAT PRIME
DAY HAS BEEN, IF YOU LIKE.
YEAH, THAT’S WHEN IT STARTED.
WHEN I WOULD SAY ABSOLUTELY
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BY WHAT’S
TRENDING THIS YEAR IN THE IN
THE
GIFT WORLD. I LOVE THE FACT
THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP IN
THE WORLD. WHAT WE’VE SEEN HERE
IS TOYS OR HEALTH AND WELLNESS
GOT TO BE MEETING
GOING UP. AND FROM THE NATIONAL
MEDIA FOUNDATION AND SUGGEST
EVEN. SHOW THAT THERE’S A
THERE’S A SHOP DECREASE IN
EXPERIENTIAL ONCE THE INITIAL.
GOING TO ALSO HAS AN ONGOING
IS THE ARE UNIVERSAL THIS HALF
HOUR. VARIANCES ARE,
AS YOU EXACTLY WHEN AND WE
SURPRISINGLY COMMUNITIES.
WE’RE WE’RE NOTICING AND
PREDICTING AN INCREASE IN A
I DO NOT DO I HAVE WHAT WE WANT
TO CAUTION THAT WHEN YOU’RE
SEEING APPAREL SALES INCREASED.
I DON’T THE THIS FROM THE
INCREASE IN. OF BARRELS THAT
YOU KNOW, YOU WEREN’T HIGHER
THAN WHAT MIGHT BE MORE THAN
WHAT HAPPENED. SO I DON’T THINK
AND
WHAT NOT A CONSISTENT INCREASE
IN SALES SINCE THE START OF
THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN IN THE
HOME IMPROVEMENT TIGHT AND WE
PREDICT THAT THIS IS GOING TO
GO ON WHERE AND WHEN DO YOU
THINK THE BEST DEALS ARE GOING
TO BE. WE ALWAYS DO.
AFTER YEARS. WEBSITES LIKE
SPEAK DEALS, DOT COM. THESE NEW
THOUGHT. I’M GOING BACK FRIDAY,
DOT COM OR BACKED BY THE U.S.
AND ARE SO MANY OUT THERE WHO
USE THE EITHER YOU ARE GOING TO
BE A BEST FRIEND.
MEETING. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GO
TO 7 ALL WEBSITES FOR ALL THE
BIG BOX RETAILERS BROWSING
THROUGH. WHAT IS THE BEST EVEN
COMPARING IT. THE MAGAZINE IS
WITH THAT POINT. SO WHEN YOU’RE
GOING TO SAVE YOU SAW ALL OF
THE ALL OF THE DEALS ARE
ALREADY ON THAT. AND SO MY
RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO LOOK
AT THAT.
AND EVEN PUT UP ALERTS. IF YOU
IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU NEED
TRYING TO BUY. AND SO YOU CAN
COMPARE PRICES, SO ON AND SO
FORTH.
>> AND I DID THAT HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION
WITH HIM AS CASEY WAS ON HIS
WISHLIST THIS YEAR. HE’S REALLY
HOPING SANTA GIVES HIM A
PLAYSTATION A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE EXPERTS SUGGEST FINISHING
HOLIDAY SHOPPING EARLY IF
YOU’RE PLANNING ON MAILING
THOSE GIFTS OUT
BECAUSE SHIPPING, WE’LL BE
CHALLENGE THIS YEAR’S WE KNOW
OF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE OPTING TO
JUST SEND THINGS RATHER THAN
TRAVEL AS MUCH, RIGHT. YEAH.
SO WHAT I’M HEARING IS THAT MY
NORMAL CHRISTMAS EVE FIELD TRIP
TO CBS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN
THIS YEAR.
