More Retailers Invite Themselves to Thanksgiving Dinner

Drumstick, cranberry sauce, coupon? Consumers will be served a heaping helping of shopping opportunities with their turkey this Thanksgiving, once a day reserved for family, food and football. More brick-and-mortar retail stores than ever are expected to be open for business on Thanksgiving, and email marketing firm Responsys said 80 percent of major retailers will send messages on the holiday this year, up from just 45 percent in 2009.
