Shoppers’ perspectives: 30% or more off the usual retail price (not an artificial list price). ![20231123_230859](https://sellersasksellers.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/823ae7210c68a90c0437f6b8faaf12819e04fe49.jpeg) ---

Lol deal exhaustion is real…also dunno if these ingrate fuqers have heard of capitalism but the deals are marked just enough to run through inventory, be competitive and not lose our $$hit since participating in BF and CM cost $3k - obviously buyer side could care less and rightfully so… But demand higher discounts or they’ll bust a nut elsewhere is sorta lame…like go ahead, we’d rather keep our shirts lol and if it really is that bad we’ll go 35% after CM or maybe we don’t wanna burn through inventory that fast Many folk in the world don’t understand that in order to have access to coffee in the morning - the world has to remain in a delicate and intricate balance of peace…the makings of which involve an innumerable amount of variables: time, people, resources - energy - to wit - the entire world - so unless its a necessary imperative these fuqs can go fuq themselves right onto the next product and get their jollies off elsewhere 🤦🏼‍♂️ ---

> [@Tried\_Tested](#): > > right onto the next product and get their jollies off elsewhere I think it’s mainly the _incessant emails_ acting like 10-25% off is a _Really Big Deal_ during bfcm. ---

Yeah, I have a different email account to buy stuff from websites that I don’t check because it’s flooded with spam. 20% off isn’t “the biggest sale of the year,” that’s just a regular sale. I’d write negative stuff too about a company that hypes up an ordinary sale as something special, especially when they send out like 5 - 10 emails about it during the week. ---

The headline conceals the online success story so far for Cyber 5 sales, so definitely read the actual article: [Reuters] _‘A lot quieter’ Black Friday brings out discount hunters._ > _The [rise of online shopping](https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/temu-shein-far-lag-amazon-online-holiday-shopping-ramps-up-2023-11-22/) has reduced the importance of Black Friday as a single-day event._ > > _Shoppers spent an estimated $7.3 billion online through 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Black Friday, a 7.4% increase compared with last year, data from Adobe Analytics showed.

Not to put too fine a point on it but > _Brokerage TD Cowen lowered its U.S. holiday spending estimate to **2% to 3% growth** , from 4% to 5%, as it forecast flat Black Friday traffic._ _Overall_ bfcm YOY growth is forecast at 2-3% growth, while > [@papy](#): > > _Shoppers spent an estimated $7.3 billion online through 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Black Friday, a **7.4% increase** compared with last year_ so it seems that if the trend continues today and tomorrow, most YOY growth will be driven by online shopping rather than b&m. Anecdotally, I _did_ go to my local Joann store on Friday afternoon–the only in-person shopping I did. The yarn sales were meh (didn’t stop me), but I had family members with me who benefitted from the “buy 3, get 3 free” sewing notions doorbuster and fabric discounts. Meanwhile, today online, a big yarn brand is offering 6 skeins for $12, from a wide selection, including popular lines and colors. I had no qualms paying sale price ($2) for a “fancy” skein I wouldn’t buy at regular price ($11). (@HobbesIsMyTiger tell your sister to check for this online deal!) ---

According to MPP YOY has slowed even though it’s up > **[US E-Commerce to Exceed $1.1 Trillion in 2023](https://www.marketplacepulse.com/articles/us-e-commerce-to-exceed-11-trillion-in-2023)** > > E-commerce sales in the U.S. are on target to exceed $1.1 trillion in 2023.

Ok I must’ve not read something. For the Cyber Monday Deal I selected 7000 units of each (a high amount just so it wouldn’t limit purchases) But my cyber Monday Deal finished early whereas others still have theirs going presumably until Midnight. What did I do wrong? Or in this case, not read. 🤦🏼‍♂️ ---

Ah ■■■■ just saw the deal page It had times and was a lightning deal on cyber monday? So confused on what I did when I set it up. Ah well. FML ---

> [@Tried\_Tested](#): > > But my cyber Monday Deal finished early Is it time zone sensitive? … It is after midnight on east coast now so they might not appear there now. 🤔 ---

I guess it was set up as a lightning deal on CM but I had the Cyber Monday badge as well as lightning badge…but it was time sensitive so 1 ASIN was from 8AM - 8:10PM, whereas another ASIN was from 4:40 AM - 4:40 PM Just wondering if I made an error in setting it up as a CM deal or was just that the way it was? Wondering now after I saw the deal page and knowing I had the CM badge as well. ---

🤷‍♂️ Unfortunately … at this point in time … maybe next year? We do not engage in the discounts for black Friday or Cyber Monday as discounting isn’t a good fit for our products … so hard for us to give anything but a guess … ---
