doorbusters

Black Friday specials

Doorbusters are deeply discounted products offered by retailers to draw crowds, typically at the start of major sales events like Black Friday.

The term evokes shoppers rushing through doors when stores open, competing for limited quantities: The doorbusters sold out within minutes.

The deals are loss leaders—stores accept thin margins to get customers inside, hoping they'll buy more at regular prices.
