1. In your opinion, what store had the best Black Friday ad last year (2008) and why? 2. What would be your #1 piece of advice to someone totally new to Black Friday? 3. Besides offering great deals, what else can a store do to get you to shop there on BF? #1-Sears had the best ad. The front loader washer/dryer both together were $798.00 What a deal!!! #2- Sign up to this web site, take your ads with you, wear comfortable shoes, take bottled water with you, check online to see if you can avoid the lines, no kids and no strollers Walmart will ad match identical items. #3-Have organized control of the customers, offer small bottles/cups of water or coffee, perhaps have give-aways to the Early Birds. We had a local restaurant giving away Free Queso Dip with any purchase that day to all in line. Local merchants could benefit greatly.
