Black Friday & Cyber Monday Marketing

by | Nov 14, 2014 | 0 comments

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are American sale days immediately following Thanksgiving. The British equivalent of these days from a business perspective might be the January Sales. As the ability to purchase online has broken down many barriers for consumers purchasing goods and services abroad, we have grown accustomed to Black Friday and Cyber Monday and these sales opportunities are also slowly being adopted in the UK as well.

If you trade online selling goods and services then you will not want to ignore these opportunities for increasing your turnover at this time of the year. Why should you bother offering discounts I hear you ask? Well some people get all of their Christmas shopping done on these sales days so if you’re NOT offering a discount then you could lose customers to those companies that ARE offering discounts.

While asked to state when they intend to get their holiday shopping done, 23% said they’ll do so on Cyber Monday. But a far higher percentage, 37%, said they’re preparing to survive the mad throngs of Black Friday. (Another 40% reported they’ll shop on their own schedule, thank you very much.)
