I'm cleaning out my inbox, after weeks of neglecting to, and I came across this email from REI.

Great that REI gives their employees the day off and it would be nice to see other retailers do the same. The landing page they've created for this is really cool too.

Did anyone opt outside? I did. It was a pretty nice day.

It's funny, I just tried to think of what I did on Friday and I couldn't remember, it seems like that was four weeks ago. It's been a weekend. But yes, I remember now, I didn't go to any stores, and I did take a nice walk that morning. So I had the opt outside spirit even if I didn't know I was part of a movement.

Well, I did not shop or go outside really on Black Friday, I love this ad. I did take a nice couple of walks with my dogs though but nothing out of the ordinary

Thats nice! I did not shop, but i did go outside! I love this idea. Im seeing more companies do things like this, going against the grain

That’s an amazing, on brand email. Love it!

I love that it's become a tradition for the brand.
