Toys R Us Black Friday Sales

Toys R Us Black Friday Sales and Social Media Team Up

Meg G.
Toys R Us Black Friday sales are unique, in that the doors open at midnight on Black Friday. This means that shoppers can hit Toys R Us early, and then head on over to Target or Walmart to shop more sales. The fact that the major toy retailer opens their doors hours before everyone else is very smart. Walmart has made it known that Toys R Us is one of the next retailers they want to put out of business. Will they succeed? Who knows. What is known, however is that Toys R Us has some great deals.

Toys R Us has several deals for consumers this year. Here are some of the best deals offered at the Toys R Us Black Friday sales:

Fisher-Price Digital Arts & Crafts Studio $29.99

Ice Cream activity set $9.99

Pink or blue digital video camera $29.99

Green or pink 8.1 pm digital camera $39.99

5.5 in Monitor Karaoke system $49.99

Select DVDs $9.99

Select Blu-Rays $14.99

SuperBuy DVDs $3.49

Apple iPod Touch 8 GB w/$50 gift card $199

Select bikes 50% off

There are many more deals in the Friday circular for Toys R Us. In fact, there are deals that won't be released to the public until the official Black Friday circulars hit mailboxes around the country on Thanksgiving Day. Can't stand the suspense? Download a FaceBook Toys R Us application and submit an RSVP by 12:01 am tomorrow, and you will get early peeks to the Toys R Us deals not listed in leaked online circular.

Toys R Us also has iPhone and BlackBerry apps that allow customers to buy products right on their cell phones. The fact that Toys R Us and other retailers are starting to use social media to peddle special deals and sneak peeks points to the fact that our society is increasingly wired up digitally.

Some people will have to wait for the sale circulars to come to their doorstep on Thanksgiving Day. Other individuals will log on their computer, download a FaceBook app and have early access to special deals otherwise not advertised until Thanksgiving Day.

Toys R Us currently has 194,000 FaceBook fans. Toys R Us executives think that using social media outlets such as Twitter and FaceBook make shopping Black Friday sales more fun. Other sites have leaked deals early, usually with a company's permission.
