While retail giants such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart have already prepared attractive deals and discounts, supermarket chain Asda has confirmed that it would not be having any promotions for the forthcoming event.
Amazon has started the Black Friday event early on as the electronic commerce company offered discounts on clothing, gadgets and toys on Nov. 1.
The internet-based seller will also be giving subscribers a chance to acquire the popular products earlier than others through a Prime membership, according to Tech News Today.
Familiar with the tradition, consumer electronics corporation Best Buy will be granting massive discounts on computers, video games, home theater systems, smartphones and video recorders. Even before Black Friday 2015, Best Buy will already be having promos for televisions.
Similarly, American multinational corporation Walmart will be greatly slashing the prices of seasonal products. The discounts will not be exclusive to Black Friday 2015 since the retail corporation would be offering at least ten deals every day.
Department store chain Macy's has already the released Black Friday 2015 advertisements for the online sale that would have shoes, clothing, jewelry and beauty products for both men and women. To get ahead, Macy's offerings would start on Nov. 26, a day before Black Friday 2015.
Microsoft Store will be joining the tradition this year as discounts on Window 10 laptops, Xbox and Xbox One consoles and Lumia phones are likely to appear.
While several establishments will be participating in the infamous event, Asda has declined to join the bandwagon, according to Engadget.
Even if the supermarket chain actually helped bring Black Friday to the United Kingdom in 2013, Asda has noted that consumers are already experiencing "shopper fatigue" that is characterized by surprise, limited discounts and promos for unnecessary items during the holidays.
However, Asda has clarified that the company is not veering away because of the critical media coverage during last year's Black Friday event.
Asda noted that the supermarket chain simply listened to the comments of the customers who apparently do not want to experience flash sales.
