Black Friday is one of the largest days of the year for consumers and businesses alike. But it's not just big retailers that stand to profit on Black Friday - a GoDaddy survey found that about 78% of consumers are as (or more) likely to buy from a small business compared to previous years. Small businesses can share in a piece of the pie, as long as they have a dedicated Black Friday marketing strategy in place.
