The Voice of Retail - A podcast by Michael LeBlanc - Fridays
Categories:
Welcome to a special Black Friday edition of The Voice of Retail, I’m your host Michael LeBlanc, and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with Retail Council of Canada. Recorded early November in front of a live audience at The Ted Rogers School of Retail Managment at Ryerson University’s 12th annual retail week, I’m joined by an esteemed panel of retail experts and veterans to discuss a bit of retail history, the state of the retail nation and the competing narratives and debate around the Black Friday retail holiday event. According to the 2019 Retail Council of Canada + Leger research, sponsored by Chase, 43% of Canadian consumers plan to shop on Black Friday versus 34% on Boxing Day - a revolution in this country where this relatively new Holiday, plus Cyber Monday, has risen to the forefront of the retail promotional calendar.
