Black Friday Sales 2012

One of the main reasons will be higher gas prices and lower home values forcing people to shop online. Not to mention that’s where the best deals will be located. Sales in brick and mortar stores are expected to fall off a little more this holiday season, whereas
Internet retailers are expecting an increase of online sales in the 15-20% region. Over all retailers are expecting about 4.5% from last year.
Expect electronics and toys to receive the biggest price cuts for the holiday season. Over 40% consumers will be doing at least some shopping online during the holiday season, a slight increase over years past, but those people are planning on spending more online.
