Marketing Tied To US Thanksgiving

Promoting our products
using Thanksgiving in the US
can be…problematic.

US Thanksgiving is tied to the pilgrims
and how Europeans treated
the Indigenous populations in the US
(i.e. horrifically).

(I think that is why
so many businesses
focus on Black Friday.)

In Canada,
there is no such tie.
Thanksgiving (in October)
is purely
a celebration of the harvest.

And there are celebrations
of the harvest
in almost ALL cultures.

If you want to run promotions
tied to Thanksgiving
in the US,
consider celebrating
the harvest.

Focus on the pumpkins,
the corn,
and other symbols of it.

Very few people
will object
to a celebration of the harvest.
