Recently, stores have made a stand to close on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Every year it seems like more stores give their employees Thanksgiving off and opt out of the Black Friday madness. An article by the American Marketing Association explains the benefit of closing on Thanksgiving. Not only is it good for the morale of the customers, it’s good for marketing.
More companies should take this stand. Thanksgiving should be spent with family and friends. Giving employees the day off will have such a positive impact on the employees and the company.
