Black Friday 2018 Deals
While I can’t say on a personal level that I’m delighted about Thanksgiving being subverted away from a time of being thankful for what we have to being a season where we start looking for more, I also recognize the reality that we like to give gifts and retailers encourage us to do so by offering up some of the best prices of the year at Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As an influencer, I personally get sent a lot of the deal links in hopes that I’ll share them with my audience. I don’t considering myself a marketer (I’m a gear reviewer, not gear promoter!), so I don’t do a lot of marketing type posts or emails. What I have done here, however, is compile some of what I consider to be the best deals in one spot so that you can look them over and see if there is something that appeals to you. Using these links costs you nothing (might even save you a bit more!), but there is also a small percentage that comes back to help support my channel and work – so thanks in advance for purchasing through them! I’ll add more as they come in!
