The truth is over the last three years, the Black Friday occasion is no longer a US phenomenon. Britons have joined the fun and 2016 is on track to become the largest spending circumstance across the globe. Since 2014, UK's retail market revenues have skyrocketed to new levels.
What happened a couple of years ago has been surprising to say the least. Retailers have to institute immediate promotions and offerings during the last minute as the splurge among shoppers heightened.
The entry of Black Friday deals in the UK can be attributed to how Amazon brought its American approach to Europe. However, the 2014 sale blast has also been fueled by the arrival of famous selling outfits like John Lewis and Currys. In addition, advertisings on TV have been totally enticing as the large crowds flocked to various stores.
At that time, the shopping traffic has been overwhelming that many retailers fell into panic-stricken merchandise campaign. Tech items that are intended to be sold at specific prices have their rates dropped. It is likely that the move has been done in order to appease the onrush or charging approach of buyers. Within this context, it is apparent that dealers lost a considerable amount of money on deals tied to laptops, televisions and video game consoles.
In 2015, the Black Friday event rush has somewhat been toned down. Promotions and offerings have been appropriately managed and presented. During that period, the huge online turnout of shoppers has crashed retailing sites. Awesomely low-priced products like the Xbox, the PS4 and the 4K TVs become a major attraction.
Last year, Giffgaff has lowered the prices of its Sony and Samsung items by around a hundred pounds. On the other hand, mobile seller Three has cut its Xperia Z5 rate from 529 pounds to 390.
In the same way, John Lewis has trimmed down the Withings Activite and Pulse Ox items by 25 percent while Currys have discounted its Pebble smartwatches. With the Apple Watch 2 already out, it is likely that the first version will be considerably discounted.
Reduced rates have also been instituted by eBay and Amazon on the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Asus 11-inch Chromebook, respectively.
Meanwhile, Amazon has cut its Fired HDX 8.9 tablet by as much as 38 percent. At Argos, the iPad Air has been slashed by 70 pounds and at Tesco, the Apple item gets a 60-pound reduction.
In gaming, the PS4 unit, with the Call of Duty: Black Ops III, FIFA 16 and the Last of US games thrown in, has been sold by Game for 299.99 pounds. Amazon has offered its 500GB PS4 for only 199.99 pounds.
