Marketing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday

We’re getting closer to the biggest and most anticipated shopping weekend of the year, The Black Friday! And now thanks to the digital world, we also have Cyber Monday! Unlike our neighbours in the south, our Thanksgiving is over. But, lots of Canadian stores participate in these events-so are you prepared?

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday takes place the day after the Thursday of thanksgiving in the US, when millions of customers start their holiday shopping, making it the busiest time of the year for retailers, the point in the year when retailers begin to turn a profit. It marks the official beginning of the holiday season. Companies went by the rule that the holiday season did not begin until the end of Thanksgiving, causing a huge rush for holiday shopping on the Friday after. It was believed that retail sales sunk low by the time Thanksgiving arrived, so Black Friday was created to pick them up again, and be the kick off to the holiday season.
