For decades, Black Friday was the most important shopping day of the year for many Americans and the businesses they supported with their holiday cash.
Thanks to things like e-commerce, earlier and earlier sales at major chains and competing campaigns like Small Business Saturday, the importance has waned some. Still, millions of people across the country will be shaking off the post-Thanksgiving feast malaise and hitting the town this coming Friday (if not Thursday evening) to pick up discount clothes, electronics, toys and more for the holiday season.
The Denver Post wants to be there to document it.
Increasingly, the motivation for folks to shop on Black Friday is personal. It’s a social event with friends, a family tradition, or a bit of retail therapy.
Business reporters Joe Rubino and Judith Kohler are on the lookout for shoppers with unique traditions that would be willing to share them with Denver Post readers. If you’re interested in being featured in a story this week or possibly having a reporter and photographer tag along with you on Friday, please fill out the form below.
