Game and Makro reveal Black Friday plans

Massmart has revealed the Black Friday 2020 plans for its Game and Makro retail stores.

Both Game and Makro will be running Black Friday deals throughout November 2020, instead of their previous strategy of only releasing deals for a restricted three- to five-day period from 27 November.

This year, Black Friday deals from both stores will run from 2 – 29 November.
 
The deals we get, compared to what deals friends get in America, it is actually a slap in the face from some of these stores.
 
No Thanksgiving here. Massmart leveraging the already broken consumer economy!
 
Leroni added that Massmart’s research has shown that Game and Makro are South Africa’s most popular Black Friday shopping destinations.

I guess Massmart's research team don't recognise their competition, no wonder their deals suck because deals need to be competitive, ain't that so?

Obviously he is talking about in-store shopping, however, they don't compete with Takealot and even Takealot is versed in consumer manipulative pricing models. So yeah...

Basically, Massmart is going to have a rotational promotion,

“These unbeatable specials will only run for the week in which they are announced, and will not be offered again

yes, they will study their sales and popular items on promotion will make a spectacular return with a change or two in it's 'special' representation.

Massmart was clever with this article, they avoided talking about online sales. This article, is the lead, which serves to create prospects.

Anyhow, I wish their Black Friday endeavours well.
 
If I see a TV on special on day 1, should I rather not buy it and wait until the end of the month to see if something better is offered?

Hopefully they can tell us in advance on what days the various goodies will be offered on.
