After weeks of anticipation and early deals, Black Friday is finally here. According to a survey from the National Retail Federation, as many as 108 million people are expected to make some sort of purchase on Black Friday, compared to 62.8 million on Cyber Monday.
Even though today is Black Friday, many retailers — including Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon and Kohl s — started their Black Friday sales well ahead of the actual holiday. The survey from consumer research platform Attest showed that 43 percent of respondents said they d prefer just one to three days worth of sales.
