This is more of an article about the speed of Trend Marketing and the your company’s communications.

I love Black Friday; even though, I don’t shop it. I probably should but I just don’t get into shopping like that. But you’ve got to love the deals. I was in retail marketing for a few years as a marketing manager and coming up with the insane deals for Black Friday was always a good day. Even when the rest of them weren’t so great.

But here’s what I wanted to do with the Black Friday that I love so much. I wanted to see if I could grab some of the limelight that Black Friday is getting right now. You see, Black Friday, is now raising at very fast rate on Google Trends – Oct 27th

People are searching it. People are starting to look for the deals. People want to know where they will be camping next month in search for the bestest, cheapest gift ever.

So as Black Friday rises so does it’s importance on social networking sites. Technorati, Digg, etc… News outlets have articles out there. Soon it will be all over the place.

Now if my hunches are correct, I’m going to drive good traffic with my title. Now these won’t be my customers but you never know who may click over and read this article.

And to me, this isn’t black hat SEO, this is smart SEO and linking strategy. All I’m doing is talking about a hot trend and how it relates to my work.

Think about this. TV commercials spam me (not anymore since I finally got a DVR – how did I live without that before I’ll never know) in the middle of my favorite shows and nobody calls the better business bureau. Though with the way some commercials are using shock techniques, somebody should.

This is how marketing on the internet should be. Companies should be participating in the conversation, whatever the conversation is – not just what you think it should be.

What’s hot within your industry? Do you have a take on it? What if you did, where would you put it?

I’ll bet in the past you put your take in a hard copy newsletter and sent it out to the people who unfortunately signed up for it. Do you think they read it? Can they comment back to you on it?

Come on, it’s 2008. With the net, you can know what is hot in your industry or the world in general. You can put your take out immediately. People can respond to it. Amazing.

Let’s see what happens to this article. Maybe it will go through the roof – maybe it will die but it only cost me a half an hour to write. How much time did you spend on your company’s newsletter?
