   a boycott with an end date picked in advance is not a boycott. It's a pause.

   ONE DAY OF LOST SALES IS NOTHING. That could happen if their machines go down for a day (which does happen, btw)

   Seriously, none of the businesses that you need to feel any pain won't feel any pain with a one day boycott. All they have to do is sell better the day before and after, and your boycott is erased.

   A successful boycott takes weeks or months to be effective. It's starvation, and you can't speed that up.

     And if you've announced to everyone they can't buy anything on day 15, they're just going to buy things on the 14th or 16th. The business still gets their money. The increased sales before and after the boycott day can easily make up for that boycott day

     The daily sales goal is not as important as the weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly goals. You need to make them miss at least one monthly sales goal if you want them to even pay attention.
