Andy Barrat, Head of Online Marketing at Currys PC World says:
“Given the climate this year, Black Friday is going to be an online focused event. This isn’t to say that shoppers won’t get the true ‘Black Friday experience’ though – in fact this is far from the case! Not only will it be a far more relaxed experience, being able to take part from home, but customers will have access to even more deals and more stock by shopping via our website. What’s more, it’s much quicker and easier to find what you’re looking for. Plus, with our ShopLive feature, you can video call our in-store experts from home to seek advice and ask any questions you may have about our products. Once you’ve found what you want, you can order for home delivery or use our order and collect service at a time that suits you.”
