Black Friday falls on 29th November 2019.

It is worth keeping in mind that many Black Friday promotions last for a whole week leading up to the event, or focus on the following weekend up to Cyber Monday (Monday 2nd December).

You can find an informative presentation on marketing for Black Friday (and more) on our Marketing Workshops page, which can be found by logging into the One Tree system.

A ready-made Black Friday marketing package can be found in our Promotional Materials Library.

More gift vouchers are sold over November and December than at any other time throughout the year. If you sell £1,000 worth of gift vouchers in a typical month, you’ll sell twice that amount in November and eight times that amount in December.

Therefore, if you make £10,000 in the first 10 months of the year, this will double in the final two months and result in annual sales of £20,000.

People are actively thinking about and seeking out Christmas gifts from October, so marketing your gift vouchers is never more important than in the golden quarter.

We realise that the last three months of the year can be particularly busy for the hospitality industry, so we want to help you to make the most of the peak season for voucher sales.

• Visit our Marketing Workshops page for information on different types of marketing you can use in the run up to Christmas.
• Use the Marketing Plan Template on that page to help you to structure your campaigns.
• If you’re pressed for time, why not use one of the Christmas packages in our Promotional Materials Library? We can customise these for you and add logos etc. if you email us at marketing@one-tree.net.
• Take a look at our Blog for more Christmas ideas.

The last day of posting in 2019 is Friday 20th December.

Royal Mail recommends that, if you want to receive a posted item in time for Christmas, you should buy it before this date. One Tree continues to send out postal vouchers until Christmas Eve. However, these are sent via Royal Mail so cannot be guaranteed to reach the recipient in time for Christmas after the last day of posting.

It is a good idea to quote the 18th December in your promotions to reduce the likelihood of complaints over delayed vouchers.
