Is it Good for Retailers … but Bad for Doctors and Consumers!
If Black Friday 2022 is anything like 2021, retailers may not be swimming in cash while shoppers bathe in savings. Black Friday deals drew 212 million shoppers to stores in fabulous 2010 and collectively spent $39 billion on products and services.
And, the average amount spent by a Black Friday shopper in 2010 was a whopping $365.34.

Assessment
We predict Black Friday 2022 sales surpass 2021 with a slight increase over 2020 because of fewer shopping days; and the pandemic explosion..
But, is Black Friday good for the [healthcare] economics sector post [thu] the pandemic? Do patients go shopping rather than to the doctor? What about inflation?

Retailers scored 11.5 billion dollars this year; one billion dollars more than last year. What recession? I bet consumers were at the mall … not at the doctor’s office.

Black Friday Hype
The hype around Black Friday was always overwrought, but its beginning to fade, Ad Week reports, and it’s the retailers themselves that are bringing it down.

Earlier Thanksgiving day sales and 24/7 online discounters are eroding the day’s impact, making it a less useful economic barometer.

Markets: U.S. stocks continued their rally this week, and the Nasdaq hit an all-time high. The first vaccine shots could be administered in less than two weeks.
