Will Kohl’s Gain From 8 Days Of Cyber Week Sales?

Retailers need to be ‘hawk-eyed’ this holiday season to make the most of it. They need to grab every opportunity as and when they come, and try all means to drive in cautious, budget-constrained consumers to the shop as the season may be a tough one. Retailers are gradually gearing up for the upcoming holiday season to better serve their patrons.

Recently, Kohl’s Corp. (KSS – Analyst Report) announced its decision to stretch the Cyber Monday (falling on Dec 1) deals on top holiday gifts and national brands from Nov 29 over eight days till Dec 6.

Some of the lucrative offers are on Toshiba 40-in 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV, KitchenAid 13-cup food processor, Asus 7-in 16GB Tablet, Robosapien, Destination 20-in hardside luggage, and other small appliances.

In addition, customers can also enjoy an additional 20% off on purchases made on Kohls.com with promo code CYBER20. Customers will also be provided free shipping for purchases above $25.
