BTB Episode 111: How to Run Black Friday Promotions

Brands that Book Show

filed in

Davey Jones, Vanessa Kynes, and Till Agency

“If you’re thinking about your business and you’re thinking about just growing it and scaling it for the future, you’re not going to stop purchasing products that are going to help you do that now. In fact, you might feel even more pressure now that you need to uplevel your website or your marketing…”

Welcome to a special crossover episode of the Brands that Book podcast and a new Till Agency podcast, Stuff Marketers Say. We just launched that podcast through the Till Agency, which you should be able to find on iTunes.

This is a bonus episode covering Black Friday. A few weeks ago we sourced questions about running Black Friday promotions and then we answered those questions Q&A style on the Stuff Marketers Say podcast. So what you’re hearing in this episode is a conversation between Vanessa Kynes and I chatting a little bit about Black Friday and the Stuff Marketers Say episode, and just the new podcast in general. And then, the full Stuff Marketers Say episode will follow.

It’s a little longer than I wanted it to be and we’re releasing it quite a bit later than I hoped, but I figure done is better than perfect. And even if this episode doesn’t help you this year, hopefully it will help you think through next year’s Black Friday. As I mentioned in the episode, it’s never too early to be thinking about Black Friday.
