The Marketing Minute: If Your Marketing Budget Gets Cut in Half, Then What?
The U.S. officially celebrates Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday of November. This holiday dates back to a feast the Pilgrims held in November 1621 to celebrate their first year in the New World. Governor William Bradford invited Chief Massasoit and other members of the Wampanoag tribe to break bread with them, and the party lasted three days. In 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving Day to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November. Finally, in 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt moved the holiday up one week in hopes of stimulating retail sales during the Great Depression. FDR’s political rivals derided the move as “Franksgiving.” But in 1941, FDR signed a bill proclaiming the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day.
