#BlackFriday And The Nigerian Experience. Did You Get Any "Deals"?

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (the fourth Thursday of November), and it’s regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On Black Friday, most major retailers open very early and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season.

Black Friday is gradually gaining some momentum in Nigeria especially with eCommerce, and the resulting boom in online shoppers. Online retailers like Jumia, Konga and DealDey jumped into the Black Friday sales galore and dedicated shoppers and opportunistic customers rushed online to take advantage of the deals.

However, the Nigerian factor soon kicked in and the result is the mixed reactions on social media. Check out what some customers tweeted below and feel free to share your own Black Friday experience.

Will Your Company's Social Media Efforts Pay Off?

"Here’s a few social media truisms that many brands simply don’t want to hear.

1.      Social media success takes time. Don’t expect overnight success. While customers increasingly expecting an almost instantaneous response to their inquiries, generating a worthwhile return on investment (ROI) requires considerable effort and patience.

2.      Social media success takes resources. Do you have someone with several hours of quality time per week available to dedicate to your social strategy?

  

3.      Social media success takes you out of your comfort zone. Are you prepared to share other people’s content in your social channels – even that of your competitors? Are you will to engage with other people and open conversations? Do you create original content that other people will want to share? Are you able to handle and respond to public criticism and customer complaints?

Be sure you’re ready before you commit. Customers expect a response, and a ghost town of a social media profile is not a good sign to anyone who comes looking to learn about or engage with your brand.

18-Year-Old Sara Blair Becomes America's Youngest Lawmaker

 At age 18, Blair is youngest state lawmaker in America after  her victory over her Democratic opponent for a seat in West Virginia's House of Delegates.
