Black Friday 2009 Ads:Black Friday Doorbuster Sales
November 21, 2009
Black Friday 2009 Ads:Black Friday Doorbuster Sales:Black Friday 2009 ads were anticipated since late October. Black Friday ads showcase various sales and deals offered by retailers on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday gets its name from the fact that it is said that a company is brought from red ink to black ink (that is, they become profitable) on that day during the year. There are many ads promising rock-bottom doorbuster deals this year. Weeding through all the ads during 2009 will be challenging even for the most savvy bargain hunter.
Black Friday 2009 ads for Walmart are the most popular ads of them all. Walmart is offering a $598 50″ Sanyo 720p HDTV, a $59 TomTom, $3 infant and toddler sleepwear, and many more bargains. I probably won’t hit Walmart first. I will hit Walmart last, and complete my grocery shopping while I snatch up some leftover deals.
Target Black Friday 2009 ads showcase $3 appliances, cheap computer accessories, and amazing deals on apparel. Target may be my first stop, but I haven’t yet decided.
Toys R Us doorbusters start at midnight. This very well may be my first site. Although I don’t have any children currently, I am expecting. I plan on snatching up some deals on some necessities while I can.
Best Buy also has an amazing Black Friday 2009 ad. You can purchase a MacBook for $999 with a $150 BestBuy card. You can also get a Compaq netbook with a 160 GB hard drive for $179.99. I know I love my netbook – I’d snatch up this Black Friday doorbuster if I were in the market for another.
Why is it that retailers let their ads leak early? The first Black Friday ad to leak was the Office Max ad, which was subsequently pulled because of a cease & desist letter. Some retailers allow their ads to leak on purpose to create a buzz. Others, such as Walmart, like to keep their hand secret until the last minute possible to create a buzz and keep their competitors from giving out better deals.
Another thing to keep in mind when looking through Black Friday 2009 ads is that some doorbuster deals are very limited in quantity. Many deals don’t offer a raincheck to consumers who were late to the deal.

Black Friday doorbuster deals are popular with shoppers and the Internet is helping to spread the word on these deals so fast that the words “doorbuster” and “Black Friday” are constantly in the Google trending topics. Best Buy, Walmart, Target and many other retailers are trying to lure shoppers in as early as possible to nail down some good retails sales numbers despite a shaky economy.
Black Friday 2009 doorbuster deals typically mean consumers have to get up at the break of dawn, stand in long lines and fight for a deal that might be sold out before they even cross the store’s threshold. Some retailers are starting these doorbusters early, even selling them online, to avoid the stampede in the stores.
Other retailers such as Walmart and Toys R Us are opening earlier to avoid the crowds. Walmart will stay open all day on Thanksgiving and right through the day on Black Friday, November 27, 2009.
Toys R Us recently announced that it would open its doors at midnight on Black Friday instead of the traditional 6am. Consumers can start getting the bargains a bit earlier and hopefully the stores will see less of the often tragic pushing and shoving that occurs on the highly competitive shopping day.
Best Buy is implementing a ticket policy for its Black Friday doorbuster deals for 2009. Stores will open at 5 a.m. on Friday, November 27. Each store will decide when to hand out tickets in the two hours before store opening. Stores base their decisions on multiple factors, including the length of the line, the weather, and store personnel levels.
Tickets will be handed out for door buster deals at Best Buy until they are gone. Lines tend to form early, and Best Buy is unable to guarantee that all customers will receive a ticket.
Computers, TVs and Video Game systems seem to be the hot Black Friday doorbuster deals to get up early for. Kmart is opening at 5am to offer a Delstar 7 Inch Wireless Netbook 05 Windows CE for $119.99. Best Buy has a Dynex 32″ 720p LCD HDTV doorbuster for $299.99. They also have a Sony PlayStation 3 Package w/120GB Console, Little Big Planet, and Ratchet And Clank $299.99 for early birds who get to the Black Friday sale before the sun rises.
Target opens at 5am and people have been chatting up Target’s $3 appliance deals for Black Friday doorbuster shoppers. The Chefmate 12-Cup Coffeemaker, 2-Slice Sandwich Maker, 2-Slice Toaster and
Slow Cooker are all $3 for early risers. They are also giving lots of gift cards with purchase to keep people coming back to Target, such as the doorbuster deal of a DSi Game System With Free $20 Gift Card for $169.99.
Walmart seems to be the king once again with the doorbuster bargains for Black Friday 2009. Although all retailers are handing out these limited quantity bargains to lure customers in, Walmart has the deals that will undoubtedly get them some superior traffic on Black Friday. They are implementing a better system for getting those deals this year. Read about the new rules set up by Walmart here.
Walmart’s Black Friday doorbuster deals will include an eMachines 15.6″ Notebook for $198.00, a TomTom One GPA for $59.00, and an Emerson 32″ HDTV for $248.00.
Many great deals will also be available online or prior to Black Friday as retailers try their hardest to get consumers to open up their wallets for the holiday shopping season. Smart shoppers know that quantities are limited and they won’t always get the bargain they set out to buy on Black Friday 2009, but having a back-up plan or keeping an eye on the upcoming Cyber Monday sales is just good planning.
