1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Chris Wilkinson, First Retail Group managing directions with us, because

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: why it's Black Friday to day and people will be

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: going out and getting some sales. Chris, good morning, Cira. Right, well,

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: what's the best deal you've seen so far?

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Look, it's those perennial deals. It's the likes of the

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Dysons that drop massively at this time of the year.

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: We've got some pretty good deals going on Might to ten. Know,

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: they've been doing some pretty big drops across the wall.

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: There's some good pricing out there this year.

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw an umbrella yesterday for about seventy percent off,

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: and I well, I nearly clicked on it and then

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: I fell asleep. But you know, there are some good

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: deals to be had. How important an indicator is Black

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Friday for what's going to happen at Christmas?

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: You're pretty significant. Once upon a time, it took a

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: long time for Christmas to boil in retail. These days,

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Black Friday is that real kickoff. So getting a strong

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Black Friday, to be honest, Ryan, it's actually the week

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: ahead off and beyond Black Friday that makes the difference.

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: It's already been pretty strong out there for retail it's

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: particularly last weekend.

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I did promote Black Friday as a

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: Black Friday week starting seven days ago, so I think

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I've done my part. Chris, thank you very much for that.

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: This morning, Chris says some mited ten deals might be

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,480
