handmade black friday or cyber monday

It's officially here...  holiday shopping season.   The salvation of the economy- right?   Well I'm in the spirit.   I'm having a black friday cyber monday sale in my etsy shop with the use of the coupon code "holiday" you get 20% off


I wonder if handmade artisans can really make use of black friday or cyber monday.  Are handmade items really what people expect to be 50- 60% off on friday- monday?  or do people expect EVERYTHING to be discounted for those few days.   Will my sale increase my sales?       Etsy is supporting this by having us tag our items with black friday sale.   Also many california crafters in the etsy team CCCOE are having sales and you can search for the tag "cccoe black friday"  so if you are in california you can buy local!

here are some of the cccoe shops that are having sales:

There are many more shops having sales and I hope they are all successful.   You can also get a holiday discount on my regular site by putting in the paypal notes the words black friday sale, and I will refund the difference.  

happy shopping!
