“Comfortable shoes, light layers and lots of coffee are necessary for a busy day like Black Friday! I am so excited to be working on such a fun and energetic day! It will be so great to have our entire store team rocking the sales floor, while the music is pumping with a constant flow of shoppers. Our Black Friday potluck, full of home cooked treats, will be a plus too!”

Talisco- Your Wish

“I like to stay in my own world when shopping and a good playlist can keep me there. This Black Friday I plan on wearing something that can be taken on and off effortlessly to try on as much as possible, but also because those are the kinds of pieces I generally can’t get enough of, anyway!”

Ashlee’s Songs:

The Greenhornes – There Is An End

Anthony SaintBeg, Steal and Borrow  

Diane Coffee – Hymn

Mr. Gnome – Vampire

Thee Oh Sees – Toe Cutter

“I love hearing about everyone’s crazy stories, from getting up at 5 AM, to the great steals they found. When I go shopping I like to wear dresses, easy to slip on shoes, and a cute cardigan to stay warm. Things that are easy to take on and off a million times I think are prefect for Black Friday shopping!”

Skye’s Songs:

Borns – Electric Love

Zella Day – East of Eden

MO – Walk this Way

Joywave – Tongues

Pharrell Williams – Come Get it Bae

“If you are working on Black Friday rather than shopping, here are a few things I like to do to keep spirits high:

  • Keep hot chocolate on hand for your staff (and yourself), and be sure to fill half the cup with marshmallows. Nothing makes a staff full of ladies happier than chocolate! 
  •  Be weird. Get your team to laugh, all stores will be busy this day, but keeping your team smiling + happy will produce AMAZING results!

Jess’s Songs:

Vampire Weekend – Holiday 

ODESZA – How Did I Get Here

Madonna – Get in to the Groove

Ghost Loft – Seconds

WhoMadeWho – Heads Above

I love Jess Lee’s tip about having hot chocolate and marshmallows on hand for Black Friday staff! I’ve worked a few Black Fridays in my day and if I didn’t have something sweet nearby to snack on I would’ve gone absolutely mad!
