Hi There

I’m crap I really am, as some of you know I’m in publishing consumer magazines here in the UK and all our lmags have websites and most run Black Friday deals and eshots – but have I done any I hear you ask ??? – well I’m embarrased to say NO  – how poor is that, I’m crap I really am – but to be honest I’ve been so busy with not only my day job but also all of this I just didn’t get around to it – so I though ok today I’ll just give everyone who is crap like me a mega heads up to remind us all to get our act together for 2019!!!

Get Ready Early (Ha ha – should have taken my own advice)

We all know about Black Friday; that’s the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.  Well, the Monday after Black Friday is Cyber Monday.  Marketing research shows that this is the Big Day for online Christmas shopping.  This means that you should be targeting this day and the days around it for the biggest sales.

You should be getting everything ready as early as possible.  Although most people don’t want to, you should start thinking about holiday sales as early as October.  You’ll need to build sites, create content, and get your special offers together.

Right now Internet marketers don’t give the Christmas holidays the attention they deserve.  Maybe it’s because the shopping season online hasn’t become quite as crazy as it is offline yet.  But in the coming years, online Christmas shopping is only going to get bigger, especially with mobile devices.  And you should be there to profit from it.

So hope you liked my little reminder

cheers

Tony
