Black Friday: Florists are joining the price war

It's the day after Thanksgiving: Black Friday, which means plenty of promotional sales. Since 1932, this day has been regarded as the beginning of Christmas shopping season in the US. Many stores are offering special deals, discounts, coupons and so on, and so are florists and garden centers. Large US floral retailer and distribution company 1-800-Flowers.com, for example, offers free shipping/NO service charge.

Black Friday is becoming more popular beyond the US as well. One British florist, The Sevenoaks Florists, for example, is giving a 50 percent discount to their flowers and plants in the store.

And after today, the shopping spree continues. Monday is Cyber Monday. On this Monday after Thanksgiving, people are encouraged to shop online, with web shops giving special discounts.
