255+ Ultimate Black Friday Marketing Slogans & Captions (2022 Update)

Black Friday is one of the most awaited days of the year for businesses and consumers alike. Retailers look forward to a surge in sales and consumers anticipate getting a good deal on the items they want or need.

Stick around until the end of this post and I break down my best tips for promoting a Black Friday sale in 2022.

How did Black Friday Start?

Let’s turn Black Friday into flavor Friday!

The adjective “black” is linked the accounting term. In layman’s terms: If your business was in the black, it was a profitable enterprise. If you were in the red, you were losing money and didn’t have enough revenue to cover expenses.

During the early 1980s, merchants began to complain about the use of a negative term to refer to a very important shopping day of the year. They usually operate at a loss (go into the red) from January to November before making a profit surge the day after Thanksgiving and onwards during Christmas.

When sales were recorded in the ledger, accountants would use red ink to indicate negative amounts while black ink is used to show positive amounts. Using this application, Black Friday then began to refer to the period when businesses would no longer be “in the red.” The Philadelphia Inquirer then published this explanation on November 28, 1981.

At present, Black Friday is now regarded as the official start of the Christmas shopping season in the US.

Tips for Promoting a Black Friday Sale

Here are a few pointers for drawing people to your store on Black Friday.

• Use an attractive slogan or tagline such as the ones above.
• Announce your Black Friday sale a week or two prior to Black Friday. Maximize the announcement using your social media accounts.
• Put the inventory you wish to get rid of in good view, which is your storefront. A sale announcement increases the likelihood of moving your inventory.
• Use pop culture references to attract your audience and appeal to specific age groups.
• Use multi-channel marketing to reach potential customers. You marketing mix should include email, social media, coupons, television advertising, radio, and direct mail. Don’t forget an attention grabbing offer as well to spur word of mouth.

Remember that on Black Friday you’ll have no shortage of offline and online retailer making claims for the biggest sales. Make sure you come up with an offer that stands out and promote those deals hard.
