The Walmart Black Friday 2018 sales are taking shape, but historically Target’s Black Friday ad scans suggest it will be the number one rival. Yes, Amazon is pushing big Echo and Kindle sales and Best Buy has impressive console bundles so what makes Target so appealing? We just got another part of the puzzle…
Target’s Black Friday 2018 sales will be its biggest ever Target
Target’s Black Friday 2018 Shipping Policy Is Official
Like Walmart, this week Target made its Black Friday 2018 shipping fees official and (as I predicted in my Target Black Friday preview) the terms are the best you will see anywhere this holiday sales season.
Continuing its policy from last year, Target will give all customers free two-day shipping on all orders from November 1st with no minimum purchase price. But it gets better. Target will extend its Black Friday 2018 free shipping all the way until December 22nd, allowing you to get your Christmas shopping delivered free as well.
Furthermore, Target has announced the first pre-Black Friday sale to take advantage of this with an 88-page Toy Book kids sales ad scan (notably larger than Best Buy’s 24-page Toy Book sale). For parents, this should be just as big a deal as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
But what about Target’s Black Friday 2018 deals? The company’s 36-page Black Friday ad scan last year gives us clues, and here are the latest updates…
Target Black Friday 2018: Expected Sales
Consulting industry insiders and researching historic Target Black Friday deals, it is now possible to reveal many of the company’s doorbusters as well as when you can get them. These are the deals you should pay serious attention to during Black Friday 2018:
(Note the equivalent deals from last year have been cited after each prediction)
While Walmart still has the best iPhone XS and Galaxy smartphone deals, Target goes close and the store will stand toe-to-toe on console bundles. Consequently, it could be a smart move to avoid the typical Walmart rush there and head straight to Target. It may also be the only store to discount the red-hot Apple Watch Series 4 and entry-level big screen 4K TVs won’t get much cheaper than this, unless you like Kohl’s ‘Cash’ savings.
The big day is fast approaching, so your next step should now be to take note of every major store’s ad scan dates .
