    Everyone ready for Black Friday?

    For most countries, Black Friday is just around the corner, for my country's biggest online store it will happen on 18 of November and everybody seems to line up with this date.
    Everyone ready for Black Friday?
    I can already feel the hype! Every client we have with an online store is buzzing about designing banners and about the optimization of landing pages, some even asked for SEO techniques!

    Except for lowering prices and making a special design, what are other things one can do to get as much traffic and orders as possible on Black Friday?

    I think this may be the perfect example for good email marketing results, since the open rate with skyrocket if you hype the emails enough up with titles that mention Black Friday and massive sales.

    A counter page countdown can be a good idea together with a short teaser video should also do the trick, even if you won't offer "80%" sales it's good to tease the users as much as you can, make them think your sales will be phenomenal, chances are they already know what they want to buy and will buy it regardless of how "phenomenal" the sale will actual be.

    Are you guys preparing for Black Friday?
    Do you wait to buy anything specific yourself?

    This is the worst day to go shopping. So many people have lost their lives at 4am trying to get the best deals. I agree with the marketing tactics though using Black Friday sales in anything will for sure boost your chances at making more sales. I myself do not participate in this sale because its becoming to dangerous here in the states. Cyber Monday is more my thing. Thanks for sharing!

    Just like any traditional seasonal time of the year, like Halloween and Christmas, Black Friday seems to get bigger and bigger every year! And while the deals that retailers and stores put on offer are good deals (if you're in the game for that sort of thing), actually grabbing a bargain on that day is never an easy feat when there's literally thousands of other people all squabbling and joshing to grab whatever's on sale at a cheap price! And like Jkeyz has said, this has gone beyond just going out to grab a deal or two to mass hysteria and resulted in fights and even deaths as people squabble over the deals and say it was there's first. It's almost quite comical but as twice as absurd when you start hearing about people trampled to death over a toaster or some cheap laptop computer or games console or something. Just absurd!

    But as a freelancer or affiliate marketer, one can snag a few sales on Black Friday by offering things at a much reduced price. And some buyers specifically look out for them as well. Come the few days coming up to Black Friday and on the day itself, I usually get a ton of emails from companies or firms or services I'm with or use offering me their products and services at a cheap price. And in fact, some people even hold out all year to wait for them to come on that specific day just so they can get it at that cheap price.

    That to me makes much more sense and is a lot more safer!

    That said, I am looking for (more wanting than needing) a couple things but was more going to wait until the January sales as things will come down in price a bit more by then anyway. But I may take a meander to my local Curry's PC world and see what they got.

    Provided there isn't hoards of people there fighting over goods like zombies fighting over fresh brains! LOL

    Let's not have another repeat of this...

    Oh my gosh, I had no idea that Black Friday was so big. Seriously here in South Africa you don't hear much about it out and about. Online yes we get to see some action but certainly nothing like you have described.

    I might take advantage of it for marketing some of my products. My brain is ticking now wondering if I will have finished writing, publishing and adding my eBook to ListingDock by then... It would be oh so cool to put one of my own products on a Black Friday deal!

    As a marketing tactic I think this is great. Thanks for bringing it up Cristian. The rest of the world might be getting into a frenzy about Black Friday already but seriously this is the first news I have heard of it this year so thanks for the reminder Everyone ready for Black Friday?

    I love sales, and the idea of grabbing a bargain is just thrilling. However what happens in many stores on Black Friday actually scares me. There is so much fuss, and people running around and grabbing stuff and most of them seem to be ready to kill anyone just to grab the bargain they planned for. It is scary, and I would not dream of going through it all just for the sake of a product, and to save money.

    I love to do shopping, but mostly online as black friday it's not something common here, I'm not sure if we even have an official date about black friday , I've never seen something about it at least here in my town. The only "black friday" that we have here ..in the sense of low prices is during the holidays, that is the perfect time to go for shopping if you want to save some money from your pocket. However, I'll need to save something as Cyber Monday is coming. Everyone ready for Black Friday?

    Cristian where you aware of the violence and mayhem that occurs at 4am on this day? South Africa wants no parts of this lol! Like i said previously your better off on cyber Monday shopping from home without any risk of being killed over the next hot toy. People have no regards for life all they care about is getting everything on that list. The one year me and my wife participated in this a 2 year old girl was trampled to death at a target over by me. After that i said enough is enough. Thanks for sharing!

    We don't really have "black friday" here in Sweden and I'm actually glad we don't. These people are insane. How much do they save? Do they spend $10 and get something worth $1000? To me, it seems like it.

    I would never in my life go to a store like that, screaming, yelling and whatever, acting like crazy, to save a few bucks. I would need to save like $1000 on each product I bought, otherwise I'd rather pay $1000 for something worth $100, and just sit at home. Sure, I'd lose $900 off of it, but I'd live and I wouldn't need to go to a place with idiots like that.

    I still don't understand the buzz around the November 18 black Friday sales. I mean what is the essence of having to wait that long before you do purchases of the things you need. I only maximize that when it comes to making purchases for Christmas periods and nothing more.

    This reminds me of the big sale of S&R supermarket that specializes in imported items from the US and Europe. I was a new member and I got so excited to experience the big sale. Someone advised me to come earlier than the 9 am opening time so I arrived at 7 am. It was really frustrating because the line of cars to the parking area was very long already considering that the car park was still closed. I thought it over and realized that I may save money from the discounts but I will be wasting a lot of time.
