IN STORE AND THEY'RE OFFERING THOSE EARLIER IN HOPES OF DECREASE THOSE CROWDS.
SO WE WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE
PLANNING ON SHOPPING TODAY
ONLINE IN PERSON.
A MIX OF BOTH.
WE'VE GOT A TOLL RUNNING ON
TWITTER.
CHECK THAT OUT ON 9NEWS OR I'VE
GOT ONE RUNNING ON MY PAGE AS

ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY,
BLACK FRIDAY ONLINE SHOPPING
WILL OVERTAKE IN-STORE FOR
THE FIRST TIME EVER.
EDDIE RANDALL HAS MORE ON A
BREAKDOWN OF THAT SURVEY.
HEY, EDDIE, GOOD MORNING.
BIG NEWS FOR BLACK FRIDAY.
MORE PEOPLE SAY THEY WILL SHOP
ONLINE THIS YEAR THAN LAST
YEAR.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
STORES ARE GOING TO BE EMPTY.
THERE ARE STILL THOSE
TRADITIONAL BLACK FRIDAY
SHOPPERS THAT PLAN TO WALK INTO
THOSE STORES CATCH THOSE GOOD
DEALS.
20-20 HAS USHERED IN A LOT
OF UNEXPECTED CHANGES DUE TO
THE PANDEMIC SHOPPING
EXPERIENCES HAVE ALREADY LOOKED
DIFFERENT FOR STORES AND
CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
CAPACITY LIMITS MARK
REQUIREMENTS.
BLACK FRIDAY, ONE OF THE
BIGGEST SHOPPING HOLIDAYS
AROUND WILL BE NO EXCEPTION
WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING
DIFFERENT.
MANY STORES STARTED ROLLING OUT
DEALS WEEKS.
SO SAY USING MONEY EVEN THOUGH
CORBITT 19 CASES CONTINUE TO
RISE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE
ARE STILL OUT AND ABOUT TRYING
TO FIND THOSE SPECIAL BUYS.
BESIDES THAT VERY HARD YOU NEED
TO TRY AND MAXIMIZE YOUR DOLLAR
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN.
YOU KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE FUTURE HOLDS.
STORE MANAGERS SAY THEY'RE
WORKING TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE
WHILE THEY SHOP AT REGISTERS.
WE'RE TAKING THE MEASURES THAT
ONLY ONE PERSON WILL TAKE.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TO TOO
MANY PEOPLE.
WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR SOCIAL
DISTANCE.
THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO PLAN
TO STAY HOME AND JUST SHOP
ONLINE.
MARKET DATA COMPANY DEFINITIVE
PUBLISHED SURVEYS THAT SHOW
PERCENT
PERCENT PLAN ON SHOPPING ONLINE THIS YEAR, UP 50 PERCENT FROM WHO SAID THEY WOULD LAST YEAR.
THE SURVEY ALSO SHOWS 64
PERCENT PLAN TO SPEND LESS ON
BLACK FRIDAY THIS YEAR THAN
LAST.
NOW WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT
PEOPLE PLAN ON SHOPPING FOR.
THE SURVEY SHOWS 50 PERCENT
OF PEOPLE SURVEYED SAY THEY
PLAN ON PURCHASING CLOTHES 35
PERCENT ELECTRONICS 32 PERCENT
GIFT CARDS 30 PERCENT TOYS AS
FAR AS COLORADANS GO.
GOV. JARED POLIS SAYS WHILE
TYPICAL BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING
IS NOT THE SAFEST THING TO DO
IN A PANDEMIC, HE JUST HOPES
PEOPLE ARE SAFE.
OF COURSE THE STORES ARE OPEN.
PEOPLE CAN SHOP.
I HOPE THEY'RE HAVING SALES BUT
MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THOSE
SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS AT
THE STORE AND WE KNOW THERE ARE
A LOT OF GREAT DEALS BOTH
ONLINE AND INSIDE OF STORES.
WE WANT YOU GUYS TO KEEP IN
MIND THAT IN HERE IN COLORADO
ALONE THERE ARE ROUGHLY 200000
PEOPLE THAT ARE UNEMPLOYED.
THAT IS UP TWO AND A HALF TIMES
THE AMOUNT OF LAST YEAR.
SHIPPING COMPANIES ALSO WARNING
PEOPLE TO GET THEIR PACKAGES IN
EARLY.
THEY SAY THEY WILL LIKELY BE
DELAYS THIS YEAR.
ERICA ADDED THANK YOU.
SO WE WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU PLAN
ON DOING YOUR BLACK FRIDAY
SHOPPING IN PERSON ONLINE.
MAYBE NOT AT ALL.
PAT SAYS ONLINE BECAUSE THEY
HATE GOING TO THE MALL.
JEFF SAYS IN PERSON KELLY SAYS
THEY'RE GOING TO DO A LITTLE
BIT OF BOTH WHICH WE LIKE TO
SEE BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO GET
OUTSIDE SHOP AT YOUR LOCAL
STORES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
YOU KNOW, I WAS ACTUALLY JUST
SITTING HERE COMING UP WITH
MY OWN LIST OF THINGS THAT WE
KNOW WE'RE GONNA BE BUYING
STUFF RIGHT GUYS?
SO I MEAN WHY NOT JUST BE MORE
CONSCIOUS ABOUT WHERE WE'RE
BUYING FROM?
IT'S SO EASY FOR ME TO GO TO
AMAZON OR FOR THESE BIG
RETAILERS AND GET IT FROM
THERE.
SO NOW I'M ACTUALLY HAVEN'T PUT
SOME EFFORT INTO WE'RE GOING TO
GET THESE LOCALLY AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT MORE PEOPLE
DO THAT.
DEFINITELY IMPORTANT.
JORDAN.
YEAH, I'M SORRY BUT YOU KNOW,
I WAS JUST GOING TO AGREE WITH
JORDAN BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE
ALWAYS PREACH SHOP LOCAL, KEEP
THINGS LOCAL.
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LOCAL
BUSINESSES AND BUSINESS OWNERS
ARE STILL GETTING MONEY AND
THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE.
AND THAT'S JUST A GOOD WAY TO
DO THAT.
MAKE YOUR OWN LIST AND MAKE
SURE THAT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST
ADDING A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION
TO THAT THIS YEAR INSTEAD GO
INTO YOUR TYPICAL BEST BUY,
AMAZON, DORDA, ALL OF THOSE
LOCAL STORES.
BUT A LOT OF ATTENTION AND
DETAIL INTO WHAT THEY'RE
SELECTING TO SELL TO SOME TO
THEIR CUSTOMERS SO YOU CAN FIND
SOME REALLY COOL THINGS AT
THOSE STORES AS WELL.
SO WHY DON'T WE JUST GO AROUND
THE CIRCLE REALLY QUICKLY AND
YOU GUYS TELL ME WHICH STORE
YOU'RE BUYING MY YET FROM?
OH, THAT'S A SURPRISE DAUGHTER.
YEAH.
OK, OK.
LUMPS OF COAL EVERYWHERE
