      <title>New Business Black Friday Sale</title>
      <link>https://community.squareup.com/t5/Online-Store/New-Business-Black-Friday-Sale/m-p/322551#M15721</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey guys. Started a new business recently and trying to get more orders. Using Black Friday as a big opener to try to get some sales at discounted prices for people but traffic still seems really low even at the discounts. Any advice? Tried running a couple quick promotions on FB as well. They show the stats and "engagements/link clicks," but neither resulted in any sales. &lt;A href="http://www.emulzify.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.emulzify.com&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the website if you want to take a look for suggestions.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
