My take on early #BlackFriday2020 ⁦Roosevelt Field⁩ ⁦NPD Retail⁩ ⁦NPD Beauty⁩ #NPDHoliday

Black Friday seems ‘pleasant’. Both retail staff and consumers seem less harried and look to be enjoying Black Friday shopping. #NPDHoliday , #BlackFriday2020 The NPD Group

I am seeing a lot of Christmas trees being bought. Is this a sign that for many the season is just starting? With strong October sales in Housewares Industry, could this be a good sign for the Housewares Industry?

Timing of traffic clearly has changed as counters that were empty this morning are full this afternoon #NPDHoliday #BlackFriday2020 The NPD Group

Week ending Black Friday showed small appliances down -1%. However if we look at sales from Prime week/Deal days to today (Oct 11-Nov 28th) small appliances are up +30%

Black Friday Small Appliance Winners based on: Top Dollars = Robotic Vacuums Top Units = Electric Toothbrushes Absolute $ Growth v LY = Air Purifiers % $ Change = Electric Rotisseries

Cyber week/Cyber Monday data just released, both small appliances and housewares up double digits +10% and +20% respectively

#NPDHoliday opening door lines seem similar to last year. The atmosphere is fun and not of the days ago battle. The biggest difference seems to be the early crowd this year appeared to be younger

#NPDHoliday. After hitting most major retailers this morning the biggest takeaway is WOW, there are bargains for consumers looking for kitchen electrics, housewares, floorcare, and personal care! These might not only be gifts but also stocking stuffers…big stocking’s
