At lunch today my wife scared the living daylights out of me..

“What are we taking to my mums for Thanksgiving?”

“That’s ages away, why are we thinking about it now?” – says me..

I then got that look that every husband or boyfriend has received at some point, you know the one that says you are an idiot…

“It is only 5 weeks away”

Now I won’t bore you with my thoughts on spending Thanksgiving with my in laws, they are different from my family and thats all there is to it.
More importantly for anyone who works online is that following Thanksgiving is the Day After Thanksgiving Sale The biggest day of the year for sales and the way the economy is at the moment I think many shops will be offering some crazy deals so that they can squeeze as much cash out of all of us as possible.

My wife is talking about having all her Christmas shopping done by the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I am sure she isn’t the only one, so if you have any sites that sell physical products you should start ramping the promotion on them up now.

If you sell on eBay get your plan in place for the weekend of crazyness, you dont want to lose sales just because you didnt bother buying any stock.

What am I doing to prepare for Thanksgiving?
Well I am contacting other Marketers and seeing if I can get them to offer some great discounts on my Black Friday Sale site , if you are not already on that list I advise you to get on there now as the offers that I get will only be up for one day!
