This year, Ikea Canada is asking customers to flip Black Friday on its head by choosing to sell rather than buy.
The furniture retailer has been running its sell-back service in Canada since 2019, which allows customers to sell their gently-used Ikea furniture in exchange for store credit. Those items are then resold in Ikea91裸聊视频檚 As-Is section, allowing for an overall reduction in waste.
During its Black Friday campaign, though, Ikea will be offering up to double the normal sell-back value and special promotions on its As-Is products. Its entire campaign opposes the normal frenzied consumption of Black Friday, opting for a 91裸聊视频渟ustainable living91裸聊视频 approach instead.
