THE EARLY BIRD...YOU KNOW
If you want to be at the forefront of the Black Friday marketing pack, you will want to start your Black Friday social media marketing campaigns at least a week early.

SET SIGHTS ON YOUR WEBSITE
Having a fully functional website with no crashes is a vital component to waging an exceptional Black Friday sales campaign. Make sure you get with your system administrator to test your site speed, as well as review traffic patterns from years past to ensure that your customers experience no difficulties when trying to access your site or complete their orders.
OFFER PROMOS AND GIFTS
It is a known fact that there is going to be competition in your market, therefore you must find a Black Friday marketing strategy to make you stand out from the rest. We already mentioned getting an early start, but it is also imperative to utilize pop-ups and surprise gifts to keep potential buyers from leaving your website empty handed. Make sure that it has a time limit to give your customers a sense of urgency that they must purchase now.
PERSONALIZED EMAILS
To extend your marketing reach beyond Black Friday, use the analytic data collected during your Black Friday campaigns to create targeted marketing to reach your customers beyond the big day. This insight can help you make personalized product recommendations and engage customers to improve your odds of getting new or additional purchases.

You want to encourage your customer base to feel comfortable making an on the spot decision to buy, and a great return policy does just that.
