Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the China's Singles' Day
in order to get the max out of these days you should start working on building your campaigns today!!!!!!
here is some information that will help you to plan your actions better, take in mind that on these days the competition will be fierce and the one that will hit the most clicks at the right time will win the jackpot,
although its going to be hard the pie is so Big that even a small portion from it can generate a lot of profit, take in mind last year Chinese Singles day generated 9.1 Bilion USD$
When is Black Friday 2015?
Black Friday is on the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday 2015 will be on Friday November 27, 2015.
Based on previous years, Black Friday sales have started earlier with many events beginning on Thanksgiving and extending into the weekend and Cyber Monday.
Black Friday 2015 Prediction:
While last year's Black Friday sales numbers only grew marginally, the amount of shoppers completing online purchases increased steadily. With many merchants offering similar Black Friday deals online and in stores many shoppers have been able to enjoy Thanksgiving at home rather than heading out into the madness.
"Brits are expected to spend £12,384 every second online during Black Friday"

What is Cyber Monday?
The term Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 to refer to the first day back at work after the Thanksgiving weekend, when people would continue their shopping online on their office computers. This year, Cyber Monday is on November 30th.
While many retailers offer online deals on Black Friday, usually a new trove of internet-only discounts are unleashed on Cyber Monday.
There's also Small Business Saturday, an initiative started by American Express in the US that was picked up in the UK two years ago. It encourages consumers to support their local retailers.
Then there's Sofa Sunday, a slightly less established term for the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, when turkey-bloated people who have shopped until they've dropped can continue the spending via mobile devices from the comfort of their own homes.
And if all this consumerism is getting you down, look forward to Giving Tuesday, a day that encourages the more charitable side of things.
Chinese Singles Day
November 11
Starting from midnight (Beijing time) on November 11, China welcomes the e-commerce holiday of the year – the 24-hour Singles Day sale. Last year, Jack Ma's Alibaba Group scored $5.8 billion on November 11 alone, setting a record for the e-commerce giant since it started holiday sales five years ago.
Chinese online retailer Alibaba has already taken more than $9.3bn (£5.85bn) in sales on Tuesday as Singles Day, the country’s biggest online retail event, dwarfs other sales bonanzas around the world such as Black Friday in the US or Christmas in the UK.
The live sales figure on Alibaba’s giant screen at its sprawling Hangzhou campus surged past the 57.1bn yuan ($8.16bn) mark with two hours left to go, as Chinese and overseas shoppers snapped up heavily discounted items online.
November 11 is known as "Singles Day" in China. Like Black Friday, it's a holiday made up for business purposes. It's supposedly a celebration of single people. Alibaba picked the date because of all those ones in 11/11.
Why are there so many sales on Tmall and Taobao on 11/11?
Some reasons:
There are a lot of Chinese Internet users. One estimate I hear a lot is 500 million. There are only 330 million or so people in the United States.
In China, there are lots of cities with millions of people in them and no malls or big offline retail centers. China has leap-frogged the whole mall and big box movements the US went through in the second half of the 20th century. Shopping online is the only way to shop.
It is free for merchants to set up stores on Taobao and Tmall. Alibaba only makes money by selling ads to those merchants. Less cost and friction in the store set-up process means more merchants, cheaper prices, and more sales.
People in China trust that their are not going to get scammed over Taobao and Tmall. That's because they pay using something called Alipay – an Alibaba service which keeps the funds in retail transactions in escrow until both the buyer and the seller are happy.
