Black Friday is everywhere right now. It's the biggest short term sales moment of the year.

And yes, it can drive a lot of revenue fast. But I think this is the perfect moment to pause and ask a bigger question:
What does this do to your brand long term?

Because discounts will give you a spike. They will also train your customers to only buy when you run a sale. I see some product have a sales for 80 %. It makes me question if the product is over priced. 

And if you are not careful, you end up building a brand that depends on urgency and price instead of meaning and value.

There is nothing wrong with running a Black Friday offer.
But there is a huge difference between a strategy and a reaction.

A strategy is when your offer fits your brand story, your pricing architecture, and your long term customer relationship.
A reaction is when you drop your price simply because everyone else is doing it.

Black Friday is a good reminder that every short term decision has a long term effect.
Do your discounts strengthen your brand or weaken it? 
Do they build trust or undermine it? 
Do they align with your positioning or contradict it?
I think I know the answer. 

My course Brand Strategy Fundamentals with The Futur is on a 25 % sales with all of their products. I support that because I know we have many followers in developing countries that save money to buy during this week.

So if you run a Black Friday deal, do it with intention.
If you do not, that can also be a powerful brand choice.

Let your brand lead, not the calendar.

What are your thoughts on Black Friday?

 Brand vs sales

People like to buy.
They don’t like to be sold to.

And they are way smarter than we give them credit for.

Most people create content as if their audience can't smell the sales pitch from miles away.  
But content is not advertising.

Today our Brand Rebels for Good community starts our 30 day content challenge.🥳
It is not about likes or perfection.
It is about voice, visibility and courage.

Everyone who posts for 30 days wins a one-on-one coaching session with me.
Value 750 euro.

Let's begin my dear Rebels! 🥳
