Retailers offer aggressive Black Friday promotions

This week, furniture retailers are hoping to cash in on their last big holiday weekend promotion of the year — Black Friday. As with other holiday weekends during the year, they have been offering aggressive deals and discounts, as well as promotional financing to move the needle on traffic and sales before the end of the year. Before the big holiday sales weekend, Home News Now scoured the internet to see what major retailers are offering consumers across a broad range of categories from dining and living room furniture to mattresses.

Below is a glimpse of what we saw and thought was worth sharing with the industry. As everyone enjoys the holiday weekend, let’s all give thanks to these and other furniture retailers that are working not just on Black Friday, but throughout the weekend to sell the goods that you also have worked hard to develop for consumers around the country.

Among other categories, Raymour & Flanigan’s website promotes bedding with its Black Friday mattress sale which featured deals across some two-dozen brands.
