3 REASONS BLACK FRIDAY ISN’T WORTH YOUR TIME
The day of chaos will soon be upon us. In a few weeks, Americans will leave their homes with bellies full of turkey to descend upon retail stores in the feeding frenzy that is Black Friday. Sure, it’s a bit stressful, but with all the great sales and gift-giving holidays on the horizon, Black Friday is the best day to knock out that shopping list, right? Not really. Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t bother with Black Friday. YOU WANT THE LOWEST PRICES If you’re waiting to get the best deals of the year, Black Friday probably isn’t the day to go out. While stores may offer one special item at an outrageously low price, the rest of the sales can’t compete with other times of the year. Headphones are cheapest in August,
vacuums are more affordable in April, and if you’re shopping for the holidays, keep in mind that toys will be priced at their lowest 10 days before Christmas. YOU WANT THE BEST BRANDS Here’s an insider secret: Most stores get new inventory to advertise specifically for doorbusters and Black Friday sales. New TVs at 75 percent off will get lots of people in the door, but those televisions aren’t the best brands. If you need a cheap dorm TV, then Black Friday is your day. But if you want a quality television to show off your 4K Ultra HD copy of “Avengers: Infinity War,” you’re better off waiting until after the New Year.
not jumping on a deal when they had the chance. So they grab the $750 laptop because it’s $200 off, buy some new winter coats because they’re four for the price of three, and fill their cart with other incredible sales. Do you need 10 HDMI cables? Of course not. But when they’re on sale for $2.99 each, how can you say no to that bargain? If there is a specific item you want that’s on sale during Black Friday, like those cute department store boots or a PlayStation 4, then by all means get out there early and take advantage of the deal. But if you have a long shopping list, want to save money in the long run, or don’t know what you’re after, Black Friday isn’t worth the stress.
YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY It’s hard for people to say no when they’re afraid they’ll regret

T. DALLAS SMITH & COMPANY
As you may know, we recently moved to a beautiful office in downtown Atlanta. I am very proud of our new space and I owe a great deal of credit to our commercial real estate broker, Nick Winbush of T. Dallas Smith & Company, for making our transition a success.
Nick had no problem quickly identifying a prime location for our rapidly growing firm. Nick made it a point to make sure I was educated and felt comfortable throughout the entire process. When he showed me the space at 50 Hurt Plaza, I instantly fell in love. From there, Nick worked tirelessly to make sure we secured the property. If you’ve ever moved, you know that the real estate process can be daunting and scary. Working with a great broker can make all the difference. Nick Winbush is certainly that, and T. Dallas Smith & Company is a brokerage firm you can trust. I would recommend them to anybody who needs commercial real estate space.
