I dint think these general "buy nothing" days are the right way to go. Whatever people don't buy on the day will just be bought the next day.

I think it would be difficult to achieve anything more than a standard deviation in daily sales, as in its not really noticeable.

Yep. It's 1/365th of their business. That's a single day stock dip of -0.O2%

I'm not sure about your math really.

My point though, is that weekly sales won't dip at all, you'll just buy things before or after.

I'm not sure about my math either, but my math is just as irrelevant as a one-day shopping boycott
