Am I the only one who is excited about this? I love that REI has taken a stand against the craziness of Black Friday and has created an #OptOutside campaign instead of having their employees work on Thanksgiving or Black Friday. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about saving money, but I think the whole Black Friday mess has gotten way out of control. A few years ago when companies started first opening their doors on THANKSGIVING DAY… I couldn’t believe it. There are so many other ways to save than a frenzied day like Black Friday, like Cyber Monday!
I think long term this is going to only drive more sales for REI, so if you are going to #OptOutside on Black Friday, head over to the REI site and show them what you will be doing instead of shopping!
What do you think about REI’s #OptOutside campaign? Are you staying home on Black Friday?
