With Black Friday 2016 looming closer, several online and offline retailers across the United States have now begun to roll out their different ads, sales, programs and deals. The biggest retailers in the country — including Walmart, Target, and Amazon — have now announced their different programs which could spell big savings for customers in the coming months.
After kicking off its early Black Friday sales this week, Walmart has also announced that they will be employing additional Walmart Holiday Helpers starting today. The helpers will be placed in different stores to help customers through checkout and even pick up items they have forgotten.
Additionally, the company has announced that they will be adding more products to their Pickup service during the holiday season, with most items being available for pick up on the same day that they are ordered.
The company's online early bird special sales have already started along with numerous discounts and rollbacks for different items each day. All orders made on the company's website over $50 will have free shipping or will be free for pickup through various Walmart outlets.
Amazon, on the other hand, has already launched its "Countdown to Black Friday" deals this week. The program includes multiple "Lightning Deals" held each day leading to Black Friday. Amazon Prime members will also get exclusive access to over 30,000 deals for Black Friday and on Cyber Monday specials.
Target also revealed some of their Black Friday plans for the coming months, which includes free shipping for all orders made from Oct. 25 to Jan. 1, 2017. A 10% discount on Target Gift Cards will also be offered starting Dec. 4.
The company will also be featuring discounts from $10 to $50 on different product categories each week for the month of November. The company's savings app — Cartwheel — will also be updated with different deals, include half prices for different toys from Nov. 1 to Dec. 24.
