Definition

Doorbuster is a special kind of sale where crazy low prices draw shoppers in early to the point where they want to bust down the doors to get in (figuratively, hopefully). Retailers typically offer these deals early on in their operating hours during major sales events like Black Friday. The discounts are usually substantial but limited in quantity ("while supplies last!"), so the goal is to lure early-bird shoppers who will purchase the doorbuster items and also stick around to buy other full-priced items.
