GGP also has partnered with Steve Kemble, America�s Sassiest Lifestyle Guru, to give shopping advice for a high-impact, low-stress Black Friday experience. �During this tight economy, getting that awesome gift is possible with a little creativity and preparation,� Kemble says. �The hustle and bustle of the malls on Black Friday is so exciting, but you must take the time to plan out your strategy in advance in order to get the best deals and have the most fun.� Kemble, a nationally recognized professional event planner, has several shopping tips to share, among them: Develop a Shopping Budget and Strategy � First and foremost, determine how much you can afford to spend on your holiday gifts � especially in the wake of current economic challenges. Plan your day around getting those must-haves before they run out. If needed, you can always plan a second trip to the mall for more common gifts that are likely to remain in stock for a longer period of time. Take A Load Off � Prior to shopping, visit your mall�s Web site to see what services are available to customers. Some malls, including many GGP malls, offer services like valet parking and complimentary coffee. You may also be able to take advantage of coat check services where you can not only leave your winter coat but also drop off packages as you accumulate them. Lifesaving Moves � Bring a partner in crime, or even a team of friends to help you conquer the mall this year. It�s always good to have someone you trust to provide a second opinion when shopping.�Also, be sure to leave time in your shopping day for lunch at your mall. Shopping feels better on a full stomach, plus if you plan it a little earlier or later in the day than most other shoppers, you can scoop up all the sales while most people are taking a break.
