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 the 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 discounts up to 50 percent. 

Black Friday is becoming more popular beyond the US as well. Spanish online florist Flora Queen, who owns floral centers in Spain, Italy and Germany gives up to 50 percent discount on their plants and flowers and South African Netflorist discounts up to 70 percent. Some, British florist Flying Flowers for example, even have a special 'Black Friday Flowers' page on their webpage.
 
And what are popular Black Friday items? In general, the bouquets and arrangements are linked to Christmas, so mostly red and white, but also other colorful bouquets are on sale

After today, the shopping spree continues. At Flora Queen, for example, Black Friday is not only Black Friday, the sale started on November 19 and continue until 26th of November. This monday is also called Cyber Monday. On this Monday after Thanksgiving, people are encouraged to shop online, with web shops giving special discounts.
