As Black Friday approaches, we're looking at the effects of this major retail event on traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. For some, the shopping surge brings opportunities to boost foot traffic and in-store sales, while others may feel the competition from online retailers. Key considerations for business owners this Black Friday 👇 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:  Shoppers still value face-to-face interactions and personalised service, which online can't quite replicate. 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗜𝗻-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀: Attracting customers with unique, in-store-only deals can be a big win. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Supporting local businesses strengthens community bonds and encourages local spending. If you're considering a commercial property to open or expand your business, now’s the time to start planning! Black Friday shows us just how vibrant and essential physical spaces remain in our retail landscape.

My first Black Friday as a ⭐ retail girlie ⭐ This has been a very interesting experience for me, seeing weeks and months of planning and creating come to fruition. It has been a week of statistics, constant comparison, and analysis. It has also been a week of enthusiasm, collaboration, and the occasional bet. From creatives to KPIs, I had the chance to see it all first-hand and be a part of the process. It was definitely unique, one of those "if you know, you know" moments. The camaraderie of teams being brought together in a shared experience, or stepping up because you know someone must be spread particularly thin over this period, was my favourite part. Retail is a daring environment that changes at the drop of a hat, and it is at times like these when I focus on the inspiration I can draw from what is around me. Yes, things are stressful, and yes, often more complex than they should be; but there is also so much energy. The passion is palpable and it reminds me why I chose this industry in the first place. At the heart of it all, we are just people obliging people.

Plus ask customers for feedback—they’re often happy to share why they chose your product! What’s your best holiday season tip? 👇

Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, is just two weeks away. Are you prepared? 🛍️🤯 Check out these Pro Tips for Smart Black Friday Shopping from Better Business Bureau® ➡️ https://bit.ly/3DWdtjN

Black Friday, originally an American shopping tradition, has evolved into a global phenomenon, renowned for massive discounts and marking the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. Initially observed the day after Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!), its popularity has spread worldwide, largely driven by American retailers like Amazon and Walmart introducing the concept to international markets. Currently, Black Friday is recognized in many countries, often adapted to reflect local cultures and practices. For example, in the Middle East, it is rebranded as "White Friday" and often spans several days rather than being limited to just one. At Movenet, we are fortunate to work with individuals from diverse nationalities and cultures, reflecting the global nature of our work in relocating professionals around the world. How is Black Friday recognized in your country, if at all? If you are American, is Black Friday a growing concept still in your country? We would love to hear your perspective! #movenet #globalmobility #relocation #thanksgiving #blackfriday
