Cyber Monday 2009, More Promising than Black Friday?
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Black Friday deals won’t have the same luster as they did in years past. This year’s back-to-school retail sales are the best way to gauge the holiday spending climate… and things are not looking sunny.
We can expect some retail sales this holiday season from declining inventory, but you won’t see department stores stocking up hot items like over the past few years.
Macy’s, Target and Wal-Mart can’t afford to deliver the big doorbuster deals with this economy, they’ve already lost too much. The only reason to stand out in the cold this Black Friday is to buy a 52″ TV and save hundreds, according to DealNews.com CEO Dan de Grandpre. If you’re not shopping for a new entertainment system, you’re better off staying at home to find Cyber Monday Specials.
If you’re really looking to save this holiday season, shop the service industries. You’ll see vacation deals galore this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. “Specifically look for Black Friday promotions on hotels, airlines and travel deals like Southwest Vacation packages,” says de Grandpre.

Theme parks are throwing their hat in the ring as well. If you book a selected package to Walt Disney World right now, you will receive a free dining plan for any trip for the rest of the year. Other parks like Universal Hollywood offers a “buy one day, get the second day free” deal until December 31, 2009, and the Universal Orlando ticket package costs $99 for an adult 7 day pass.
With these great Cyber Monday deals on entertainment and airfare, start packing for your holiday vacation!
