The Post-Black Friday Burnout Edition

Duck Quote of the Week

"Everyone's fighting for attention like seagulls at a beach party, but smart ducks know when to swim in a different pond."

Weird Duck Stats

While retailers spent 65% more on holiday ads this year, 99% of ducks recommend spending 65% more time optimizing your existing campaigns instead. (Who knew ducks were so ROI-focused?)

What The Duck Moment

Just watched a brand launch 12 different "last chance" Black Friday emails in 48 hours. That's like a duck claiming it's taking its final swim... twelve times. Spoiler: Your customers can count, and their trust is worth more than panic-driven sales.

The Big Splash: Post-Black Friday Reality Check

Listen up, fellow water fowl. Now that the Black Friday madness has settled, let's talk about what actually works in this attention battlefield we call December advertising.

What's Actually Happening Out There

• Ad costs are skyrocketing faster than a duck taking flight from a startled cat
• Everyone and their mother is pushing "extended" Black Friday deals
• Inbox fatigue is real (and so is our collective exhaustion)

The Duck's Take

Remember, fellow marketers: While everyone else is flapping around in panic mode, be the duck that glides smoothly through the chaos. Your sanity (and your margins) will thank you.

Next week: We're diving into why New Year's resolutions are the perfect time to NOT annoy your customers.
