Some retail industry experts predict holiday sales in anticipation
of Black Friday will increase this year, and consumers want the
most bang for their buck.
But how many hoops are consumers willing to jump through to get
a good deal? When asked if they would rather receive $50 in cash or
a gift worth $50, 83 percent said cash according to Western
Union.
"In a recent survey, we actually found nearly three-quarters of
people across the globe simply want to make their loved one's day
better over the holidays -- and cash remains the perfect gift for
doing this," said Victoria Lopez-Negrete, Senior Vice President and
General Manager for North America at Western Union. "While everyone
else is up before dawn waiting for stores to open or spending
sleepless nights comparing gifts online, why not skip the insanity
altogether and give your loved ones what they really want?"
Simplify holiday gift-giving with the gift of cash through
Western Union in person, online at www.westernunion.com or over the
phone at 1-800-CALL-CASH.
