Re: Sodding American Bastards

In addition to the traditional aspect of Boxing Day sales, it is also practical because shops want to clear out extra inventory that sell before the holidays. Exactly like the after Christmas sales in America.

Black Friday is just to stimulate consumer spending and detract from the higher cost of goods in the run up to the holidays. Black Friday sales means companies can't lower prices near as much before Christmas without hurting their bottom line. So one day of frenzy to whet their appetites and then sell everything at a higher cost and triple profits.

I think "steeped in tradition" is a transparent excuse and does nothing to ameliorate the terrible things that these sales create.

With the demand that skyrockets in the lead-up to Christmas, there's little reason for businesses to lower prices in the first place. Still, whoever came up with Black Friday was a real wizard. You'd think companies would have pushed for this in the UK and other places sooner, when you just know the consumer's mentality is already there.
