Black Friday: Florists are joining the price war

It's the day after Thanksgiving: Black Friday, which means plenty of promotional sales. Since 1932, this day has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the US. Many stores are offering special deals, discounts, coupons and so on, and so are florists and garden centers. Large US floral retailer and distribution company 1-800-Flowers.com, for example, offers discounts up to 40 percent.

Black Friday is becoming more popular beyond the US as well. British florist Flying Flowers and South African Netflorist, for example do not have special discounts, but a special 'Black Friday Flowers' page on their webpage. Spanish online florist Flora Queen, who owns floral centers in Spain, Italy and Germany gives a 20-40 percent discount on their plants.

After today, the shopping spree continues. Monday is Cyber Monday. On this Monday after Thanksgiving, people are encouraged to shop online, with web shops giving special discounts.
