Alright, so as we all know Thanksgiving is just around the corner. You know what that means, right? Black Friday is next. Black Friday was named so because it’s when a lot of companies got out of the red and into the black with their profit margins. It’s a major part of our tradition of consumerism. But, in recent history, through movements like e-tail, we have a new contender in the market. What’s after Black Friday? You guessed it, Cyber Monday. In 2020, more consumers bought on Cyber Monday than Black Friday. With that being said, how can your business capitalize off this movement?
Start with sneak peeks of possible sales before the day comes. Use social media to place advertisements and promote your website. This will lead new customers to your site. You will be able to build your clientele through great deals. Don’t forget to hashtag your post!
