When Will the Next Black Friday Ad Be Posted?
Posted by Brad on 10/3/08 @ 6:23 pm PT - Digg This
I'm sure many of you are waiting with anticipation for the next (or first if you don't include Ace Hardware) Black Friday ad to be posted. While we can't say for sure, a look at past years shows us that the steady stream of new ads might be starting very shortly if the recent trend continues, which is good news for all of us.
On our Black Friday message boards, we have a thread where we've posted the dates when we've posted most of the ads during the previous three years. Taking a look at those lists, you'll notice that aside from the early Ace Hardware ad the last 2 years, the ads typically starting coming in around the middle of October.
As for what retailers might have their ads leaked early, some that have traditionally been among the first ads released include Harbor Frieght Tools, Sears and Kmart, so we could see those anytime in the next 2 weeks or so. Once we hit mid October, the ads should start to be posted frequently, and when we hit November, expect new ads almost on a daily basis.
And as always, we rely on our loyal visitors to provide us with the ads as soon as you or someone you know has access to them. You can just click here for our ad submission form. Feel free to remain anonymous if needed, otherwise let us know who you are and we'll get back to you about your submission and get you a Black Friday @ GottaDeal.com t-shirt!
Walmart Cuts Toy Prices Ahead of Black Friday
Posted by Brad on 10/3/08 @ 6:15 pm PT - Digg This
 | | Walmart made some news earlier this week by announcing that they have reduced prices on many of their most popular toys in an attempt to jump start sales ahead of Black Friday.
They have selected 10 popular toys and priced them at $10 each. These include the Play-Doh Ice Cream Shop, Hot Wheels Beast Bash, Fur Real Newboard Animals and Barbie Mariposa. |
Walmart & Black Friday: New Year, Same Story
Posted by Brad on 10/2/08 @ 10:19 am PT - Digg This
Today we received a letter via FedEx Overnight from Walmart's legal representatives stating that the release date for the Walmart Black Friday ad this year is November 24th.
The letter states that we are not allowed to post the ad until that time. Obviously we are disappointed with this development, and a little surprised given the bad press Walmart received after doing this last year. Nevertheless, stay tuned for further updates. | | |

Thanks Learning! This is very interesting. I think they should just give 20% off of everything that day. That would be a gift to our customers. Mad  |

Learning and all, Did you read the gottadeal mb's on Walmart's sale today? (both offline and under BF forums) Nothing like letting your associates know about a "big" sale. Even in my store there was no advertising that I saw. And when I memtioned it to a few associates they had no clue there was going to be a "big" sale, but thanked me for a "head's up". Wonder if they were allowed to use their discount card? And we wonder why we don't have more sales????????????? |

I watched (break & lunch) during the morning hours on Saturday as one of the hourly employees had a cut & paste session from magazine ads in the break room for a show & tell for the managers meeting concerning black Friday. Last Black Friday I worked in the deli and wondered if my family was the only one to eat on Thanksgiving day! |
