Many retailers started sales weeks and even months before today in an effort to “redefine” Black Friday. Still, BlackFriday.com predicts that anything can happen; expect surprises.

Perhaps because it’s the day that merchants go from being in the red to being in the black (i.e., profitable). #IdeaoftheDay
