Wake-up calls for shoppers this Friday

Retailers are resorting to some old -- and new -- tricks to draw in shoppers Friday morning, when the holiday shopping season moves into high gear.

They'll offer door-buster specials, limited-quantity sales and sweepstakes to draw shoppers.

If deep discounts don't excite you, some chains will use soft touches, such as celebrity wakeup calls or free coffee to clinch sales.
