Black Friday 2011 Predictions

It is hard to believe that the Christmas and Winter Holiday shopping season is almost upon us. Although it is now only mid-September, sales predictions are already starting. Phillip Swan, over at TVPredictions.com has put forth six predictions, and Black Friday at GottaDeal.com has an extensive analysis of what to expect for Black Friday and the Holiday shopping period for several tech product categories.

One of the most important retailers on the US market which has had an impact during the Black Friday sales day is Walmart. Wal-Mart Stores Inc, branded as Walmart since 2008 is an American multinational corporation which is a chain of discount department stores and warehouse stores. Last year continued the trend of down years for many retailers, both traditional and online.

This holiday season including Black Friday is shaping up to be an important final opportunity for retailers to make up for the lackluster sales they've had the rest of the year.

If you want to throw away money, Dealnews expects that you’ll be able to purchase an Android tablet for $75.

These Android tablets typically retail for $99, and have lackluster performance and specs — even for the average user. With Black Friday being exactly a month from Christmas, retailers will have to get consumers shopping earlier rather than counting on Black Friday and the few remaining weekends in December to provide most of their sales.

Online retailers, and brick & mortar retailers with e-commerce sites have the advantage here as they can quickly prepare and promote online sales leading up to Black Friday.
