How NOT to do Black Friday

Is anyone else sick of the phrase "Black Friday" yet? Here is an example for retailers on how NOT to do Black Friday.

A couple of days ago, I saw an ad on Facebook from some company called Ukiyo Sense that sells tea infusers. The so-called Black Friday deal was to buy two tea infusers at regular price and receive free tea. How is that a deal?? Chances are someone who buys a tea infuser is already a tea connoisseur who doesn't need your tea.

I was knocked over with a feather this morning when I saw a completely different ad from the same company. This one is also touted as a "Black Friday" deal with 10% off. As I have stated previously, I don't even get out of bed in the morning for 10%. You get 10% just for signing up for emails, and you're going to call that a Black Friday deal?? A 10% discount just gives you the regular price before all this inflation nonsense.

Perhaps retailers are expecting a Pavlovian response from customers. You see "Black Friday" and just assume it's a good deal. If there were ever a good time to heed the warning caveat emptor, now is the time.

So best thing for Black Friday, which I think nobody does, would be to give the deal like a coupon code, so the idea is : Yea, I get it it's black Friday, I acknowledge this , thanks for the discount code, I'll keep it here on the side and when I'll have the $$$$ I'll maybe buy your thing.
I've actually got a nike hoodie discounted 40% lovin it.
