It’s finally here.

The day that retailers big and retailers small look forward to more than any other.

The day when we finally get to cook up some Thanksgiving leftovers, and also find out what the pulse is for the homestretch of this year’s shopping season…

The day when the line for a latte at Starbucks is 45 minutes, minimum…

The day when finding a pearl in your laundry is easier than finding a parking spot in the Target parking lot… 

Black Friday.

The good news is, by early accounts, we’re off to a promising start! 

And there’s an obious reason why: the sales are on. And the volume is turned all the way up.

Twenty five dollar MP3 players? Flat panel TVs for $100?? DVDs for $3?!?

Nothing brings out the shopper in all of us like insanely priced bargains. And it doesn’t hurt when store hours are both earlier and later, either.

However, you may want to bring along a security detail in case you manage to score a PS3.

The simple lesson is that when it comes to making lots of sales and ringing up big profits, here is one simple lesson to remember: there’s safety in numbers.

This is an opportunity that comes along once a year, offering a spirit of consumerism that any entrepreneur can tap into for a sales spike that may make all the difference to this year’s bottom line.

The holiday countdown starts today. Here’s to sales that give us all something to celebrate in 2007!
