TO offer or NOT to Offer a Black Friday Sale...That is the question!

Should You Offer a Black Friday Sale?

Black Friday is a buzzword in the business world, especially for online entrepreneurs. The allure of boosted sales and a bustling customer base is tempting. But the question remains: Should you offer a Black Friday sale?

The Pros of Jumping on the Black Friday Bandwagon

• Increased Sales: The obvious benefit is the potential for a significant sales boost.
• New Customer Acquisition: A well-crafted offer can attract new customers who may stick around for your other products or services.
• Inventory Clearance: If you have a course with a live component you might be retiring soon,  Black Friday can be a good time to move it into 100% self-study. 

The Cons of Offering a Black Friday Sale

• Brand Dilution: Discounting your signature offer can cheapen your brand.
• Customer Expectation: Once you offer a discount, customers might always wait for sales, affecting your regular pricing strategy.
• Operational Stress: Handling the increased volume of sales, showing up live (if you offer that support) and customer service can be taxing.

To Offer or Not to Offer?

The decision to offer a Black Friday sale should align with your business goals, capacity, and brand strategy. Here are some considerations:

• Energy Capacity: Do you have the bandwidth to manage launch and delivering?
• Business Focus: Will a sale divert essential resources from your core business objectives?
• Current Offers: Do you have an offer that genuinely benefits from a Black Friday promotion?

It's Okay to Opt Out

If you decide that a Black Friday sale isn't for you, that's perfectly fine. Remember, your business, your rules. Black Friday is just one day in a year full of opportunities.
