Ever wonder how successful all of those Black Friday megapromotions and sales are anyway?

Leverage2Market Logo

This past week Target hit a bullseye with its Black Friday promotion–selling  3200 TVs a minute or 192,000 televisions before breakfast.

You can bet that most of those people came for the low priced, low-margin TV, but picked up a few other things while they were in the store, too. And nearly a week later, here we are still talking about it!

While many of us might not be caught dead mixing it up with those frenetic retail shoppers on the day after Thanksgiving, it’s a good lesson that these kind of tried and true promotions happen year after year for a good reason–they actually work.

Top of Mind Thursday November 24, 2016: A Day to Give Thanks

Top of Mind Thursday

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, a day when we take time out of our busy lives to stop and give thanks.

Leverage2Market Logo

Most of us have families and friends to be thankful for–but there are some who do not. Most of us have roofs over our heads and the ability to put a full dinner on the table–yet there are those who do not. Most of us can be grateful for health and well being–as we remember there are many who struggle with illness and misfortune.

We can be grateful that America has always been a place where people could come to pursue their dreams–while understanding those opportunities are still not equally available to all.

We can be grateful that although we may argue and disagree with those around us, we live in a society that protects basic freedoms, including freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

On this Thanksgiving, let’s be grateful for how great America is today, for the ability to learn from our mistakes, and for the dream that we can continue to grow stronger together.
