We considered it a success despite the problems we encountered between the sale and discount modules in the shopping cart program.
My plan was to have another Black Friday to Cyber Monday sale in 2017. I also planned to incorporate advertising the sale on Pinterest in 2017
Fast Forward to 2017: What Happened to that Black Friday Sale
So What Happened to the Black Friday to Cyber Monday Plan?
We were hard at work behind the scenes building the new website, going live, then fixing the inevitable glitches with the new secure online store. We just ran out of time and energy.
Some of our customers had inquired about whether or not we would be having Black Friday Sales. That should have been a wake up call for me! I underestimated how valuable and important this was on several levels.
I realize now that most everyone looks forward to that weekend of sales whether they are venturing out to stores or buying on line.
It is the official beginning of the Holiday giving spirit for customers AND businesses of all sizes.
