Remember when Black Friday campaigns built anticipation for the biggest shopping day of the year? Early-morning lines, exclusive deals, and the thrill of in-store doorbusters created a marketing moment like no other. Today, the season has stretched into weeks of online discounts starting as early as October. While convenient, this shift has dulled the excitement, turning what was once a high-stakes event into just another wave of sales messaging. For marketers, the challenge is clear: how do we bring back the spark? Whether it’s through creative exclusivity, surprise activations, or storytelling that cuts through the noise, there’s an opportunity to reimagine Black Friday as more than just another sale. Is it time to rethink how we market this iconic day, or has it simply run its course? #BlackFriday #HolidayMarketing #BNMRGLVZ

This Black Friday, let’s take a step back from the chaos of crowded malls, endless scrolling, and the pressure to buy more. Instead, let’s step outside. 🌳 I know Black Friday is supposed to be all about the deals, but can we pause for a second and think about what really matters? Instead of waking up early to fight crowds or scrolling endlessly for things we probably don’t need, why not spend the day outside? I’m not saying I’ve never been tempted by a sale (who hasn’t?), but I’ve come to realize that no discount can compare to the feeling of being out in nature. Breathing in fresh air, moving my body, and soaking up the beauty around me—that’s what really fills me up. 🌞 So Why should we get outside? Spending time in nature isn’t just good for the soul; it’s good for your mind and body too. It helps you relax, clears your head, and reminds you what’s important. Plus, when you’re hiking a trail or sitting by a lake, you’re not worried about the latest gadget or next trendy outfit. You’re just there, enjoying the moment. Here’s the thing… Black Friday feeds this idea that we always need more. More stuff, more upgrades, more everything. But do we? When was the last time you bought something and felt truly fulfilled for more than a few days? And let’s not even get started on what all that “stuff” does to the planet … Fast fashion, cheap electronics, and single-use plastics contribute to pollution, deforestation, and climate change. The waste, the pollution—it’s not pretty. Nature, on the other hand, is pretty incredible. It gives us everything we need to recharge, without asking for anything in return. So Here’s the Plan… This year, I’m skipping the sales and choosing the trails instead. 🥾 Maybe it’s a hike, a walk in the park, or even just sitting outside with a hot drink and some good company. Whatever it looks like, it’s about slowing down, appreciating what I already have, and connecting with the world around me. Who’s with me?! If you head outside, tag me—I’d love to see how you’re spending your day! 🌿💚

Black Friday Eve. Every year Black Friday seems to come around quicker and quicker, and every year I struggle I see more and more offers. This year, The Ordinary's (DECIEM | THE ABNORMAL BEAUTY COMPANY) messaging resonated with me; 23% off for the entire month, allowing shoppers to shop more consciously, without panic. Has any messaging particularly resonated with you this Black Friday season? #BlackFriday

🚫🖤 Black Friday? More like Black Hole for our pockets and planet. 🖤🚫 Every year, we’re bombarded with the idea that happiness can be bought with a sale. But at what cost? From overconsumption to environmental harm to the exploitation of workers, the true price of Black Friday is higher than any discount. Instead of falling for the frenzy, why not use this day to reflect on what really matters? Let’s slow down, support small businesses, and make mindful choices that benefit people and the planet—not just our shopping carts. 🌎✨ Use this day to unsubscribe from any shopping sites so your inbox isn’t full of empty promises and clever marketing schemes that intend to make a profit over the planet.   #BoycottBlackFriday #MindfulShopping #SupportSmallBusinesses #ConsumerismIsNotHappiness #ThinkBeforeYouBuy

Black Friday… 🫣 Last week we went early with our Black Friday sale at T&T. There’s so much debate around Black Friday and there are definitely two camps on the subject: 🙋♂️ Those who think it’s great, wait for it to come around each year and use it to grab themselves a bargain 🙅♂️ Those who think it’s a terrible idea and only used by big business to offload stock that no-one really wants. This is an especially emotional subject in the small business community, of which we are firmly a part of. We all know times are tough and as a small business we work so hard to hand make a beautiful product and price it as competitively as we can (let’s face it, the high street sell shades for a price that we can’t even buy our fabric for 🤷♂️). So we debated long and hard in the T&T boardroom (kitchen table at home...), and decided that why shouldn’t we give our customers a great deal for something that they’ve had their eye on for a long time and dreamed of owning? Why shouldn’t we try to compete with big business and go a bit early to grab some of those Black Friday £’s that make such as difference to a small biz? Why shouldn’t we get involved and try to finish 2024 as strongly as possible? Yes I know that there will be some who are really against it - I was one of them last year when we avoided Black Friday altogether! But we don’t sell fast fashion, or disposable products, or old stock that we can’t get rid of. And it’s safe to say BFCM is not going away, so if you can why not try to make it work for you and your business? Would love to know your thoughts 👇 #blackfriday #bfcm #smallbusiness #madeinengland #familybusiness #britishbrand #madeinbritain
