Three keys to making the most of Black Friday
Eight years ago, I experienced my first retail Black Friday. I had been working at jcpenney.com for almost a year, and we were feverishly gearing up for the busiest season of the year.
Little did I know what that meant. But the next few weeks pulled me into a world of craziness that I now look forward to every year.
There are a number of explanations for the origin of the term Black Friday. Some people link it to the cut-throat approach consumers take to stake out and claim their bounties. Others note that most retailers do the bulk of their business near year's end, when shoppers push retailers "into the black" — an accounting term signifying profitability. Whatever the origin, it's the best time of year for bargain hunters to save.
