PR expert and arts blogger Amanda Ameer sees opportunity for arts orgs on the least likely day of the year: Black Friday.
Do any orchestras have discounted tickets tonight? Does ArkivMusic have a Black Friday CD sale like Amazon does? Are there any afternoon chamber music concerts advertised as "Take a break from Black Friday shopping?" What about a concert at 8 am somewhere, if shoppers are in lines at 4 am? "Gloat about your purchases and calm yourself at a concert."
I couldn't find any such things. It seems like a missed opportunity: any time an entire country has one thing on the collective brain (SALES!!!), arts organizations should find ways to tap into it.
