Although it is still weeks away, retail giants are reportedly readying massive deal lineups for the upcoming 2016 Black Friday.
One noted deal that has been supposedly leaked is for giant retailer Target. The retailer will allegedly offer free shipping for the deals and discounted items. In addition, the free shipping option is not only limited to Black Friday deals, as the feature will be extended to succeeding Target promotions until Jan. 1 next year. The company is also set to introduce Wondershop in their physical and online stores. The new deal feature is supposed to be a shop within a shop, with curated items lined up to ease customer shopping.
Meanwhile, for its Black Friday lineup, Target is expected to field some of its signature deals like the 10 Days of Deal promos.
It also seems that other retailers are looking to increase customers for this season. Aside from Target, Best Buy is also said to offer free shipping, as well as jumping the gun on its deals list. The free shipping is already live for the retailer, and the company has also announced some pre-Black Friday deals leading to the main event on Nov. 25.
Fans are also watching out for other third-party retailers to reveal their lists, and one of the most-watched is Apple. According to MobiPicker, it is expected that the Cupertino-based tech giant will include new product lineups in the discounts list, even the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
While it remains unconfirmed, it is noted that Apple had done it with last year's Black Friday, listing the then-current iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with up to $100 discount.
On the other hand, fan-favorite Walmart has yet to come out with confirmed details for its Black Friday 2016 lineup. However, industry followers believe that the retailer will also go with the flow and offer free shipping for its customers. Meanwhile, although the official ads haven't gone live yet, Walmart is expected to offer a wide collection of promos with a focus on gadgets and home electronics.
