𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹—w𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻? I know I do! I’ll be scanning the online pages for the perfect vlogging camera this year (did I just hint at some of my 2025 goals? 📸). The excitement is definitely building! But here’s a question that might be on your mind as a course creator: Is Black Friday actually a good fit for our industry? In a crowded marketplace, is discounting our expertise the right move, or is there another way to stand out? To help answer that, I’ve just published a blog post that dives into this very topic. I explore the pros, the cons, and everything in between when it comes to Black Friday for online course creators. 📈 If you’re wrestling with whether or not to jump into the sales frenzy, give it a read here: https://bit.ly/MKC_Blog Bonus Alert! If you’re still on the fence, I’ve created a special Decision-Making Checklist for Black Friday just for my email subscribers. Each week, I send out a helpful bonus to guide my community, and this week’s checklist will help you decide if Black Friday sales are right for your course business.

Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to know where you’re leaning this year.

Are we going to keep calling Black Friday, Black Friday? Fun fact: this name came to be back in the 1960's because the major, post-Thanksgiving sales day in the US was such a hit it was the day that retailers profits went from 'in the red' to 'in the black'. At some point, there was an attempt to change the name to "Big Friday" but it didn't really stick. Now, in 2024, brands are launching their 'Black Friday' sales as early as the final weekend of October. My inbox and ad feeds are full of BFCM launches. So, is it still Black Friday, when it's being dragged out longer and longer every year? Is it Black November now? Does this major sales event need a full rebrand? What are your thoughts? Another fast fact: in NZ and AU, Black Friday weekend has overtaken Boxing Day Sales in recent years!

Each year it seems that Black Friday sales are starting earlier and earlier... And it's becoming a bit of a landmine field for brands to navigate. Start your sale too early and campaigns may fizzle out too before the big dance... Shoot too late and your competitors could get the upper hand and steal your potential buyers before you go to market! However, one thing is clear. You NEED a plan and you need to plan early. The brands that will crush it this BFCM have been planning things since September. And it's not just BFCM you need to think about: - Singles Day (11th Nov) - Black Friday - Cyber Monday - Christmas Sprint - Boxing Day Sales - New Years Sales With buyers expecting everything to go on sale, Q4 has become a game of cat and mouse between brands and consumers. So rather than starting a product-discount race to the bottom with competitors, plan ahead to create compelling (and irresistible) campaigns to stand out in the sea of sameness.

Black Friday, the day when people willingly camp outside stores, battle for TVs, and navigate shopping cart traffic jams like they're in a Mario Kart tournament. The chaos is exhilarating, and for many, it’s tradition. Our VP of Sales, Paul Bates, is a Britt living in Canada and recently confessed that he doesn’t get the Black Friday craze. And honestly? That tracks. He’s used to Boxing Day - a much more… civilized shopping holiday. For him, the idea of elbowing someone for a discounted blender is downright perplexing. At SalesVista, we believe your comp plans should be as exciting as snagging that Black Friday deal you’ve been eyeing. Transparent, enticing, and designed to motivate your team—not confuse them. Because while our VP may not understand why someone would wake up at 4 a.m. for a 50% off air fryer, he absolutely gets the importance of a well-structured comp plan. So, which are you more likely to lose sleep over—Black Friday or your current incentive comp plan? If it’s the latter… we should talk.

🚨 PSA: Puppies & Abs Grab Attention, But Let’s Be Real! 😆 We’ve all seen those eye-catching posts – shirtless firefighters holding puppies, right? 🔥🔥🔥 It's attention-grabbing for sure, but here's the thing: your Black Friday strategy shouldn’t rely on flashy gimmicks to succeed. I even convinced my husband (aka HBO, Honey Bunches of Oats) to give it a try with our puppy Cookie! Spoiler alert: he wasn’t thrilled about his shirtless debut. 😅 But here’s the real takeaway—if your social media isn’t pulling in attention, your Black Friday sales might not perform the way you need them to. 🦗 The good news?

This is me trying to avoid this thing… If you’ve noticed, I’ve been sharing Black Friday tips on here, And I’ll be doing it right until Black Friday. But… I can’t hold myself for adding in personal branding tips😩😂 So this is how you can leverage on your personal brand during Black Friday 🌝 So you see those new products you’re planning to release for this year’s sales? Great. You’re going to release it first to your personal brand audience and your premium clients first. And here’s the twist; you’ll make sure everyone knows about it that you’re releasing to your personal brand audience first. This is what will happen if you do that; 1. Those who don’t follow your personal brand will feel a little bit left out and they will follow now. 2. Your personal brand audience will know you value them like premium clients and so will find it easy to pay for premium prices if you are ever to market premium products to them. I don’t even mean to blow my own horn but these tips are juicy and you know it😄 So go ahead and share this to an entrepreneur in your network. This year’s Black Friday must be great🤝💯 #BusinessStrategy #BlackFriday #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness
