Black Friday Catches Bieber Fever at Macy’s

How do you get every tweenage girl in America to choose your store on Black Friday? Put Justin Bieber in your Black Friday commercial, of course!

Macy's Black Friday Commercial with Justin Bieber

Do you really think J.B. would ever really stand in line at Macy’s for Black Friday deals? Neither do we.

International pop star and teen heartthrob Justin Bieber stars in a Macy’s Black Friday commercial that will hit the airwaves on Tuesday November 22nd. In the commercial, the Biebs encounters unlikely fans, including a chauffeur and manly warehouse staff who scream like 13 year old girls, while heading to Macy’s for their midnight opening on Black Friday.

“This Black Friday, Macy’s will open at midnight across the country for the first time,” said Martine Reardon, executive vice president of Marketing for Macy’s. “With humor and the help of Justin Bieber, we are reminding our customers to shop early at Macy’s to find the most desirable gifts at a great value.”

Macy’s is known for its celebrity-studded commercials, with stars drawn from the brands they carry including Jessica Simpson, Martha Stewart and others. This year, Justin Bieber is releasing a Macy’s exclusive perfume gift set called “Justin Bieber Someday”. In addition to a 1.7 oz. bottle of perfume, the set includes a Justin Bieber holiday CD and poster and is expected to sell out quickly despite its hefty $64 price tag – Beyoncé, Sean John and Rihanna’s own perfume sets offer twice as much Eau de Parfum for less cash. C’est la Biebs.

Walmart Black Friday Ad Preview!

Welcome to BlackFriday2011.com’s coverage of the Walmart Black Friday Preview!

2011 Walmart Black Friday PreviewThe big reveal is set for 11:01pm Central. We’ll be listing items and prices in real time as they’re released, so keep refreshing your browser to get the latest list. In the meantime, you’re invited to join us on Twitter tonight from 9:30pm-11:30pm to talk about the Walmart Black Friday Preview and for a chance to win one of five $50 Walmart gift cards!

9:00pm - We’re seeing conflicting reports on whether this is a preview or the full ad. Walmart’s Facebook wall says “Tell your friends the Black Friday ad is almost here. Check back at 12:01am EST and be one of the first to see the incredible values!” That would seem to imply the full ad is to be released. On the other hand, the email we received very clearly states that the “Preview starts Thursday, Nov. 10 at 12:01 a.m. EST”. Either way, as soon as it’s released, we’ll be on it!

9:11pm - Walmart confirmed in comments on their Facebook announcement that it will be the full ad, NOT a preview! We’ll do our best to hit the highlights here on the blog.

10:02pm – Just under an hour to go, and the Twitter party is rockin’!

11:05pm – Let it begin! These are from an advance list from Walmart’s Media Relations team, leaked to us just a few minutes ago. Waiting to post this has been TORTURE! Keep in mind, this is just a preview – NOT an exhaustive list of all Black Friday deals. We’ll be diving into the ad next. More to come!
