Manufactured Demand


One of the commercials I saw last night while watching Jeopardy (Tournament of Champions, go Julia!) was a Jeep Black Friday ad.  What struck me as odd is that it said "ending soon" and that made me wonder if perhaps there had been another Black Friday that I hadn't heard about or if perhaps Black Fridays are now monthly or perhaps even weekly.

This essay was in my mailbox this morning.  Even though I had a fairly short run in retail and my exposure is limited, this is insightful.
