🎯

Start Early

Brands that started pre-access 2 weeks before Black Friday captured early revenue and built anticipation without cannibalizing main event sales.

📱

Multi-Channel is Essential

While promotions concentrated on homepage and newsletter, overall content distribution shows social media (Instagram, TikTok) drove organic reach.

⏱️

Extend Beyond Cyber Monday

Brands with fewer but longer-running promotions maintained momentum post-Cyber Monday, capturing late shoppers with higher margins.
