It’s interesting to see that apparently there are quite a few flyers that have been leaked that relate to companies that are having a Black Friday themed sale. The thing is that is normally a US related event and yet you see companies here trying to use it as a sale theme for here. It’s almost like a retailer in the US having a boxing day sale theme which would probably be confusing for the people there.
What I did notice is that it is mainly computer and electronic companies that do it. I suppose a big factor is that many of these companies originated in the US and so they figured that they may as well conduct the sale here too. Another reason I thought is that a lot of these companies had e-commerce sites as well and since it is so simple to just change the themes that they figured they would just change all of their sites globally to reflect the event.
I suppose the bottom line too is that most people don’t care what theme it is as long as they save money.
