I’ve Invented a New Holiday…

1250x672

I hereby proclaim that today, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, will now and forever be known as…

⏰ Tick-Tock Tuesday ⏰

Get me two aspirin and something strong to wash ’em down with…

…because I can’t get the echo of that Cyber Monday ticking and tocking from outta my head. 😵

Don’t get me wrong. I like door-busing discounts as much as next guy.

But if I see another headline that screams “TIME IS RUNNING OUT,” I’m gonna blow a cyber-gasket.

Here’s a subject-line sampler platter — some Cyber Monday leftovers, scraped directly from my inbox yesterday:

⌛ LAST CHANCE…

The Countdown is on — T-7hrs before it’s GONE ⏰

⏲️ The final countdown starts now…

❗⏲ [BONUS] ends at midnight tonight

🔥 A Few Hours Remain, And Our Black Friday Prizes Are Running Out!

Last chance! Hurry up to save up to $627 for Cyber Monday 🕗 🕗 🕗

Wow! That last one had — count ’em — THREE clock emojis. (Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock).

Talk about scarcity run amok!

And that sampler platter barely scratches the surface.

🎶 I’ve got a (FOMO) fever of a hundred and three! 🤒

What does this mean for you and your business?

Honestly, I’m not sure. My head hurts too much to offer you meaningful business advice.

Scarcity drives sales. But I have to wonder whether all these ⏰ tick-tock ⏰ marketers will reach a point of diminishing returns.

Taking off my marketers hat, and reporting to you as just another consumer in the Cyber Monday sea…

…I tell you: I feel diminished.

And (with my marketer’s hat back on), I say: That’s no way to make a prospect or customer feel.

What do you think? Please reply and tell me how you’re feeling on this first-ever Tick-Tock Tuesday.
