Saturday, November 30, 2013 – Daily News 3B Black Friday kicks off holiday shopping season than last year's 3.5 percent growth, but below the 6 percent pace seen before the recession. Analysts expect sales to be generated at the expense of profits, as retailers will likely have to do more discounting to get people into stores. Big retailers believe they must offer huge deals to lure shoppers this holiday season. Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains such as Wal-Mart and Kohl's don't expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless By The Associated Press The holiday shopping season kicked off early, as several retailers began offering deals on Thanksgiving Day. Many people complained about the early start and the mad rush for deals — yet they went out shopping anyway. Deals aren't over yet, as big retailers believe they must continue offering them to lure shoppers. Overall, the National Retail Federation expects retail sales to be up 4 percent to $602 billion during the last two months of the year. That's higher they see bold, red signs that offer huge discounts. As a result, shoppers are seeing big sales events earlier and more often than in previous holiday seasons. Since the recession began in late 2007, stores have had to offer financially strapped Americans ever bigger price cuts just to get them into stores. But those discounts eat away at profits. So far, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's are among more than two dozen major chains that lowered their profit outlooks for either the quarter or the year. A big reason is the expectation that they'll have to offer huge discounts in order to get shoppers to spend. The tempered expectations, earlier discounting and lowered profit outlooks from retailers come even though there are indications that the economy is recovering. The job market is making strides. The housing market is starting to come back. And the stock market keeps hitting new highs. All that would ordinarily lead Americans to spend more. But so far, those improvements haven't been enough to shore up consumer confidence. In fact, Americans' confidence in the economy has been hurt.
