DisplaySearch invites you to a special half day seminar analyzing holiday sales results through Thanksgiving weekend and the 2009 outlook for consumer electronics, TVs, DVDs and PCs. The Black Friday Results and the 2009 Outlook Webinar, co-presented with The NPD Group, will be held on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 from 1-3pm.
Thanksgiving weekend covering Black Friday is always one of the busiest weeks of the holiday season and the year for the US CE and PC industries. In 2007 Black Friday week accounted for 31% of holiday flat panel TV sell-through. This event will break down the Thanksgiving weekend results, enabling attendees to get the first glimpse at the results for the first week of the 2008 holiday shopping season and how this activity will translate into results for the remainder of the holiday selling season. NPD's Steve Baker and Sam Bhavnani and DisplaySearch analysts Paul Gagnon, Paul Erickson, and John Jacobs will discuss the latest sell-through, sell-in, channel inventory, product inventory and panel inventory results for all major display applications including TVs, notebook PCs and DVD players.
Based on early holiday and sell-in results, the briefing will also provide guidance on the remainder of Q4'09, Q1'09 and all of 2009 for these markets as well as display pricing and supply/demand. Retailers, end product manufacturers, supply chain members and financial analysts will all find the briefing highly informative and will walk away with the latest sales information for a wide range of applications. Anyone looking for an early barometer on holiday 2008 sales will want to attend this exclusive DisplaySearch and NPD briefing.
