Black Friday is the highlight of the sales calendar, with many businesses taking advantage of the increased consumer enthusiasm and spending.
That means competition is rife, and offering discounts alone isn’t enough. With so many moving parts, executing a successful campaign can be challenging. That’s why Brevo created the Ultimate Black Friday Checklist — a comprehensive 85-step guide designed to take you from planning to profit.
The checklist offers more than just a roadmap. It’s a blueprint for maximizing revenue, growing your customer base and optimizing your marketing efforts across all channels.
Why strategic planning matters
A well-defined strategy not only sets clear and measurable goals, but also ensures a laser-focused campaign that resonates with your audience. This phase includes conducting thorough customer and market research, segmenting your audience based on behavior and preferences and effectively aligning your budget and resources. By building a solid foundation, you’re setting yourself up for success long before Black Friday arrives.
Engage every customer touchpoint
It’s crucial to engage your audience across multiple channels — email, SMS, WhatsApp, social media or push notifications. Each touchpoint must be consistent, personalized and strategically timed to ensure maximum impact. Automation plays a key role here, helping you maintain momentum and keep customers engaged throughout their buying journey.
Optimize for conversion
It’s one thing to drive traffic to your website, but ensuring traffic converts is a different challenge. The checklist emphasizes optimizing site speed, streamlining checkout processes, and ensuring your website can handle high traffic volumes.
Adjust and improve in real-time
Throughout your campaign, real-time performance tracking allows you to fine-tune your strategy by shifting resources to where they will have the most impact. This agile approach helps maximize performance, ensuring you capture every possible revenue opportunity.
Keep customers coming back
The work doesn’t end when Black Friday is over. The post-Black Friday period is your opportunity to convert first-time buyers into long-term customers. A simple post-purchase email, a request for a review, or a well-timed promotion can go a long way in nurturing those new relationships.
From helping you build your campaign strategy to providing the tools you need for execution, Brevo is the ultimate all-in-one marketing platform to ensure your Black Friday success.
