Argos will launch ‘Red, White and Blue’ Fridays leading up
to Black Friday as part of its Christmas campaign.
Deals
will be available every weekend so that customers don’t have to wait
for weeks to get the Christmas shopping started and will find it easier
to plan and budget over several weeks rather than one weekend. Kicking
off today (Friday 6 November), highly competitive deals on offer at
Argos include ‘3 for 2’ on all toys and the first of five one-day
market-beating deals – today’s being the new Call of Duty Black Ops 3 at
£39.99 – the best price on the UK market.
Five
day deals launching today include the LG 4K Ultra HD Freeview TV
reduced by £300 to £399, a saving of £70 on Beats Solo 2 On Ear
Headphones at £99.99 and the Canon SX410 20MP Camera at less than half
price at just £99.99.Argos guarantees to offer the difference if customers find the deals cheaper elsewhere¹.
All
deals will be serviced by the new UK-wide Fast Track same-day home
delivery service which is currently free for orders of £50 and over.
Customers purchasing online for Fast Track store pick-up in as little as
60 seconds can also currently get £1 money back on orders over £25.
David Robinson, Managing Director at Argos, said:
“Customers just can’t wait to start their Christmas shopping and we
want to reclaim Fridays for Brits and celebrate them every week between
now and Christmas. Fridays have always been a special day in the minds
of the British public, whether it represents fish ‘n’ chips, drinks down
the pub or simply the start of the weekend.
“We
are, of course, gearing up for Black Friday like everyone else, but we
don’t think getting a great deal should wait until then and this weekend
we know our customers will love our famous ‘3 for 2’ toys event and
amazing ‘feel-good’ deals.
Black
Friday has several alleged definitions, including being a term coined
in the United States by the Philadelphia Police department in the 1950s
and 1960s to describe the chaos in the cities caused by the traffic jams
and sheer volume of shoppers who came out to grab the best deals.
David Robinson
continued: “Christmas shopping is stressful enough without doing it all
in one weekend – that’s why we want to make every Friday a ‘feel-good’
one with many fantastic deals every single week until Christmas. We will
ensure every Brit has a chance to put more pounds in their pockets.”
