Come Black Friday, US mega-retailer Target will be zeroing in on providing its customers with great discounts on today's hottest gadgets.
By hottest, Target means the most sought-after techie stuff these days including the Apple iPads, Samsung's Android smartphones, Microsoft's Xbox One, Sony's PlayStation 4, GoPro Hero 3+, Nabi 2's kid tablet, and Nikon cameras among a host of others.
The retail store's Black Friday deals will become available to shoppers starting at 6 pm of Thanksgiving on November 27th but Target will be opening a window to early shoppers, reports PC.
The same deals will be available in Target.com during Thanksgiving morning for customers who want to get a shopping headstart or simply avoid the rush and inconvenience that Black Friday retail sales normally bring, cites the report.
"We know our guests are pulled in a million different directions as the holidays get underway. So we're helping them save time and money by offering more access to Black Friday deals," says Kathee Tesija, chief merchandising and supply chain officer of Target, in a statement.
"Whether shopping online, on their phone or in our stores, Target's guests will find Black Friday deals on top gifts throughout November. To deliver even more savings, all Target.com orders ship for free until December 20," the Target official added.
Dealnews reports that Target is apparently attempting to bounce back from a "nightmare Black Friday" last year so the mega-retailer is offering hard-to-beat deals this time around to entice shoppers back to its fold.
"From the looks of it, Target has done its homework (by) offering record-breaking deals on TVs, a never-before-seen sale on gift cards, and ultra-cheap video games," observes the report.
