When is Black Friday? Save the date… Friday 29 November 2024

Black Friday is a highly commercial day, affording businesses the chance to enhance their sales. As consumers look for deals, digital presence is essential. With a targeted marketing strategy, businesses can reach a wider audience, build brand awareness, and create a community.

Below, we'll break down 10 TIPS that can help a business create or optimize its digital strategy.

10 Black Friday TIPS

1. Proper Programming

Proper planning is perhaps the most important step of all. There must be a clear and measurable goal for the campaign, and all the other steps must be put into practice. The earlier you start the process, then you'll be ready to make the most of your social media strategy. Create a content plan, think of content ideas such as clever videos and products you want to promote. Start informing the audience with some stories to create a desire for them to follow your content throughout your campaign.

2. Analyze your audience

Audience analysis is probably the most crucial step as if we know who our target group is, what times they are on social media, their age, and preferences, we can draw many conclusions. Using this data, we can create content tailor-made for them, so that the user receives value and increase the chances of them becoming our customer.

3. Create Content Strategy for Black Friday

Once we understand who our digital audience is, it's time to create a social media content strategy. From the data we have, we can see what the best times to schedule our content are and the frequency with which we need to upload content. By creating a social media strategy, we gain much more than just a schedule. We create a relationship with our audience as we now “coach” the user to expect our material. We are building a community, and that is more important than just a few sales.

4. Create targeted PPC ads

A very critical part of such a campaign is the proper advertising of the material. Using our audience data again, we can build PPC ads with targeting, which means we will get much better results. The combination of quality graphics, clever concepts and good targeting in the ads, then success is a given.

5. Use Attractive Graphics

If in the previous steps we adapt quality graphics that connect our branding with our digital campaign, then we greatly increase our chances of attracting a greater number of leads. A good graphic should have the right colors, the right message to the user without being “cluttered” with details that are not interesting to the user at that moment. Don't forget to use the right call to actions to trigger the user to interact to you.

6. Create exclusive Black Friday offers for Social Media

As far as your digital strategy on social media is concerned, it would be a good idea to create exclusive offers for your digital customers. This is one way to increase traffic to your website. One tip is to differentiate the offers from platform to platform as the audience is different.

7. Content for all platforms

As mentioned above the audience on each platform is different, it is also important to understand that the audience enters each platform for different reasons. For example, the audience on TikTok expects to see funny videos and generally under 15 seconds, whereas on Instagram a user will enter to see other information beyond the content. This means we need to create content for all the platforms our business needs, with a different perspective.

8. Encourage Reviews

Building trust in the brand is crucial to the success of the campaign. Encourage customers to leave reviews and ratings, which act as proof of product quality. Positive reviews give credibility to the brand and contribute to the decision of new customers to buy.

9. Mobile is your new store

We no longer require studies to know where the public is. We all use our mobile phones every day for everything we require! This means that every business needs to have social media customer acquisition at the forefront of their minds. The answer to this is digital business presence and creating personalized content.

10. Data analysis to Improve your Black Friday Strategy

After the campaign is over, an analysis of the results is necessary to understand what worked and what didn't. We use data from social media and ads to see the performance of each strategy. The insights will help you refine the strategy for future campaigns and build a stronger marketing plan.

A successful Black Friday strategy requires careful planning and knowledge of market trends. By implementing the above steps, any business can harness the power of social media, targeted advertising and data analytics to increase sales and strengthen relationships with customers.

However, creating and implementing a comprehensive digital strategy takes expertise and experience. At Net 'n' Design, we know how to optimize every stage of your campaign, from initial strategy to results analysis, to achieve your goals and reap the maximum benefit from Black Friday marketing opportunities.
