Black Friday Aims to Boost Retail Demand #

Retailers are hopeful that Black Friday will revive demand among budget-conscious shoppers who have limited their spending this year to bargain purchases.

Several chains reported quarterly sales gains recently, indicating a potential shift in consumer behavior. Shoppers seem inclined to spend when they encounter appealing products offered at reasonable prices. Brands like Walmart, Gap, and T.J. Maxx have shown positive sales performance, suggesting that quality deals can successfully entice cautious consumers back into the market.
