As Black Friday 2024 unfolds, retailers are offering significant discounts to attract shoppers. Despite the rise of online shopping, foot traffic remains high, with over 130 million expected to shop this weekend. Retailers are adapting to changing consumer habits, emphasizing in-store experiences and exclusive deals.

Retailers have begun promotions earlier, with many consumers now preferring online shopping. This year, the holiday shopping season is marked by a mix of in-store and online sales as retailers adapt to consumer preferences.
