Consumers Have Big Role In Economic Recovery

Many nations are still grappling with the deaths and the health problems raised by the COVID-19 as the global death toll surpassed 800,000, with infections rising in Spain, Italy, Germany, in Western Europe, in South Korea in Asia, and in the United Sates, Brazil, and Mexico in the western hemisphere.

In the face of all this bad news, however, many nations are already drawing up plans for the recovery of their battered economies. In the US, that nation’s top merchandising companies are already planning for what they hope to be the nation’s earliest-ever shopping season.

The US has a tradition called Black Friday which began in 2005. A four-day weekend starts with Thanksgiving Day on Thursday and over the years, the next day, Friday, became a special day when the country’s supermalls opened their doors at midnight to hordes of customers taking advantage of the big discounts.
