What Is The Meaning Of Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
Black Friday is a day known for large sales that are traditionally associated with the day after American Thanksgiving. Black Friday marks the “official” start of the holiday shopping season and is traditionally the largest single sales day of the year for retailers. Cyber Monday occurs the following Monday and is primarily a day for online sales. In recent years, many retailers (both brick and mortar and online) have adopted strategies that include weekend sales and, on occasion, sales that extend into the following week.
How Can I Get The Word Out About My Black Friday Sale?
You can promote your sale in a variety of ways, both online and in print. Which you choose will be determined by which media channels are most influential to your customers, as well as the budget you have available.

High-Quality Image Resources
It is always advantageous to be able to use your own images in your marketing campaigns. High-quality imagery of your products will assist your audience in visualizing how your products can fit into their daily lives.
However, for seasonal holiday ad campaigns, you may want to use imagery that refers to the celebration rather than your products. Black Friday sales posts, for example, are frequently done in black and white and may include celebratory images such as confetti or presents.
