I pay attention to advertising more than a bit. It’s one of those things tied directly to various distribution channels for stuff I like and whatnot.
Holiday seasons, specifically the Christmas shopping season, has changed a lot over the years when it comes to advertising.
Black Friday came into being a long time ago, the big shopping day right after Thanksgiving. More recently we got Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday to round out the opening of the season. (I’m kind of surprised there’s nothing slated on Sunday… yet.)
Over the last few years, Black Friday has crept back to starting just after Thanksgiving dinner. This year, I started getting Black Friday deal ads on Monday. And Black Friday’s been extended all the way through the weekend.
It’s kind of ridiculous.
The worst has been Dell, which has been sending out multiple emails per day which all point to the same online store landing page, showing all the same deals. Super annoying.
