In this episode of Make Good Things Happen, Angela and Renée dig into the sting of being “Black Friday’d,” and unpack what it says about trust, loyalty and modern marketing.
How can one messy discount experience reveal so much about customer confidence?
From the sudden discount drop that left them “Black Friday’d” to the rise of overly personal SMS marketing, our ladies discuss what this shopping frenzy reveals about customer trust, pricing behaviour and the risks of stretching promotions too far. They explore why false urgency breaks loyalty, how ads demand community management, and what it means to stand firm in your pricing.
Segments include:
- From Scroll to Cart
- Gruen Lite
- Making News
- This Week I...
What we cover in this episode:
- What it means to be “Black Friday’d” and how fast trust can evaporate.
