This year, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 22, 2012 in the United States. It is only two weeks away! As a day for expressing or showing our deepest thanks, Thanksgiving itself seems rather irrelevant to promotional activities held by various stores. However, the holiday is often used by merchants as an important event to boost their revenues or to kick off their Christmas sales.
The fact that Thanksgiving Day precedes Black Friday further enhances its commercial value. Traditionally regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, Black Friday is one of the busiest shopping days in the USA. It is all known that stores tend to release the biggest discounts of the year on that day in order to attract customers. But did you know that you may be able to get the same good deals on Thanksgiving Day, without waiting until the next day to snap up the bargains? If you didn’t, it is not late – it is no longer a secret to you now and you may make huge savings by taking advantage of all kinds of Thanksgiving Day 2012 deals.

Seriously, if you are preparing gifts for this Christmas, you should really take a good look at the Thanksgiving Day specials available at different online shops. Oh, I almost forget to mention that by shopping Thanksgiving deals on the internet, you don’t need to rush into the stores in the crazy crowd to seize the Black Friday deals.
The only tricky thing is: you may need to dig out some useful information on where to get the best Thanksgiving bargains online. This is exactly the reason why I am writing this post. I noticed that lots of Chinese shopping websites have been launching their 2012 Thanksgiving Day sales for global buyers. Compared with local stores based in the USA, the UK, Canada and other American or European countries or regions, global online stores based in China generally release specials for a particular holiday much earlier as international shipping takes a while. Shipping time ranges from 3 days to 30 days based on shipping methods or product types. I’ve compiled a list of Thanksgiving promotions on-going at some popular China-based online stores for your reference (see below).
If you are also interested in taking Thanksgiving deals offered by local stores near you or in your country, please stay tuned with us and we will be updating with the latest Thanksgiving sales as soon as they are launched by stores around the world. Black Friday 2012 deals will be covered, too.
