With November on the horizon, companies are already advertising ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Black Friday always falls the day after Thanksgiving, and refers to 24 hours of deals at brick-and-mortar stores, while Cyber Monday is the day for discounted online shopping.
This year, the massive retail sales days fall on Nov. 25 and Nov. 28, respectively.
While most brands don’t advertise for sales until shortly before Black Friday, some are beginning as early as this month.
