Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, and consumers have bargain hunting on their minds.  It is also the busiest shopping day of the year.  Shoppers are hitting the stores in impressive numbers this year.  

Everyone is paying close attention to the retail numbers, and are trying to figure out if the strong numbers on Black Friday will continue throughout the holiday.  Items are  discounted up to 40% off. 

Gone are the deep discounts of up to 75% in luxury retail.  Retailers controlled their inventory this year so they would not find themselves in the same predicament as last year.  Over-supply is not an issue in 2009. 

Consumers have also changed their tactics this Black Friday.  They are more focused with their shopping, and are going into stores seeking specific merchandises; fully equipped with item specifications.  People will do whatever it takes to get the best deals possible.  Fortunately for shoppers, Black Friday will last all weekend at most retail stores.  Until then bargain hunters, shop on, shop on!

Who says that good things can’t come from a down market?  The private event sale sites have been thriving in this economic environment, and have seen a great deal of activity this week.  So we have named them to this week’s Rollcall list. 

It is such a lucrative business that Saks Fifth Avenue recently held its own private sale by invitation only.  Today we learned that even the DailyCandy is joining the ranks of the members only sale events.  They are launching Swirl, an online sample sale site where they will sell designer clothes and accessories at up to 80 percent off.  If that wasn’t enough, Rue La La was purchased this week by GSI Commerce. 

These invitation/members-only sites are getting a boost during the recession, and hopefully the same goes for their bottom-line.  Sites like the Gilt Groupe acquire sample pieces from designers and place them online for sale at a fraction of the retail cost. 

There has been a great deal of activity this week with these private event sale sites, and the odds are good that we will see many more in the near future.  Take a look at the video below of Gilt Groupe co-founder, Alexandra Wilkis, as she described the private event sale business back in August.
