How can a single day boycott financially affect a business?

713 views

I get that it shows that people are upset. If you can cause a zero-sale day, that’s huge. But the business likely only cares about profit. Doesn’t that lost profit show up a day or two before or after the boycott? It’s not like people suddenly no longer need that stuff.

Correct. For example, a few years ago, people tried to do one day boycotts of gas stations. It doesn’t work that way because you’re still using the same amount of product over time. But now with this Coronavirus quarantine thing, gas prices are lower than they have been in decades, because *nobody is buying gas*.
