Walmart taking new approach to Black Friday

The world's largest retailer, Walmart, is taking a different approach to Black Friday.

Walmart plans to make certain items available at Black Friday discount prices over a five-day period in late November and early December.

They hope to cater to shoppers who want to get their holiday shopping done on their own schedule.

Data indicates a shift away from shoppers wanting to physically visit stores on Black Friday and more toward shopping throughout the month of December.
