It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is just around the corner. And with every glance of the watch, we run out of time to properly prepare for one of the most unique sales seasons we’ve ever experienced.
We’ve all seen those wild social videos of past Black Fridays. Hundreds of people camping out in lines, then frantically rushing into stores as soon as the doors open to get the best deals, not caring how many people they knock over in the process.
