Black Friday Shopping

Retailers tried to entice consumers by having incentives such as: aggressive pricing, free shipping, and free accessories with a purchase. Pricegrabber.com recently had a holiday survey which revealed 45 percent of consumers were planning to shop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The top ten most popular items this holiday season include:

1. Wii Console
2. nuvi 265WT GPS
3. Apple iPod touch 8GB
4. D90 SLR Digital Camera Kit
5. Digital Rebel XSI 12MP Black Digital SLR Camera w/ Kit
6. nuvi 765T GPS
7. Wii Fit
8. Apple iPod touch 16GB
9. nuvi 255W Wide-Screen Automotive GPS
10. Nintendo® DS Limited Edition Pokemon Pack

The majority of the sought after items for this holiday are fairly expensive. I’m surprised with this economy that people are still willing to spend large amounts of money like that. I’m interested to see if retailers do as well this season as they have done in previous seasons.
