17 Wallet-Out Black Friday Headlines for Your Next Promo

November 30, 2016 By Partha Bhattacharya Leave a Comment

FC Barcelona Black Friday Offer

Change before you have to – Jack Welch

There was a time when you were expected to pay the exact price of an item you wanted to buy. Things like discounts (or deep discounts if you may), buy-one-get-one-free, and the more perverted form of democratic bribing or bribe taking were few and far between.

Today though we know that consumer is the king. And so, in the ‘golden’ age of online shopping, discounts never end.

Don’t believe? Just check your inbox for the last 6 months, and you’ll know this for a fact.

This is understandable.

Because the numbers on the mailing list is so huge, and the cost for luring them so low that no sane marketer can afford to stifle the temptation to blast their promo every now and then.

However, Black Friday – and by extension its close cousin, Cyber Monday – is different.

Because this is the time when the superstores in America open the floodgates to invading buyers looking for cheap offers.

BBC reports that in this year too (no matter the deep chasm post election) the sales are skyrocketing, and may exceed (hold your breath) £1.27bn.

Across the mighty Atlantic, the BF fever has caught on in the Queen’s land too, as figures like these suggest.

But, you might say, Black Friday is in the US and okay in UK as well.

What has that got to do with me, sitting eons apart, in India?

Well, the picture at the top tells the story, my story, and indeed your story too.

Okay, I’m an FCB fan, but the reason I get their promo is that I chose to receive them during my recent trip to Nou Camp. And like their bitter rival Real Madrid, and indeed other European football clubs, FCB too sells merchandise in the shopping arena inside the stadium’s museum.

No wonder FCB is using Black Friday to boost sales like millions of sellers across the globe.

 

17 Selected Black Friday Headlines

Here then are the 17 headlines I like that one can choose to use for their next promo, or any promo anytime in the year. Just replace Black Friday with whatever it suits, and you’re good to go.

  1. [Disappears @ Midnight] The kick in the pants that you KNOW you need
  2. [Black Friday] This goes away at midnight
  3. HALF TIME! Min. 50% Off on everything inside

  5. 85 programs. 50% off.
  6. Our BIGGEST Sale of the Year – 4 Hours Only!

  8. [Black Friday] Over $1,700 of value for just $1

  15. The Ultimate Black Friday deal for course creators
  16. 1 Million Visitors Per Month For YOU? (Black Friday Special)
  17. Did we see you in a Black Friday riot video yesterday?

Some sales promos are not exactly related to Black Friday, but they surely ride piggyback on the prevailing sentiments.

SpiceJet Annual Sale

SpiceJet’s promo is one such (image above), but it also stands out for one more reason. It’s a testimony of an unparalleled (unpopular?) demonetization drive currently underway in India.

Coming to what I did, I’m relatively choosy when it’s time to select the ‘best deals’. And, thankfully I’m never a big spender.

So I bought 2 deals – the AppSumo Beacon e-book creator that works with WordPress, as well as independently, and Crowdfire’s yearly subscription for the ‘Pluto’ account.

Crowdfire Black Friday Offer

Crowdfire is a great social media engagement app for Twitter & Instagram

Beacon's Black Friday Offer

Beacon makes it easy to create e-book inside WordPress

Crowdfire is a useful app if you’re using Twitter and/or Instagram. So this is going to be my second paid social media tool after Social Jukebox, which also is great if you ask me.

So…what did you buy this Black Friday?
