Start early to build awareness<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers begin researching&nbsp;Black Friday sales weeks before the big day, so start early to stay top of mind.&nbsp;Use teaser campaigns, sneak peeks,&nbsp;countdowns&nbsp;and&nbsp;early access&nbsp;offers to spark curiosity and engagement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/media-center\/press-releases\/197-million-consumers-shop-over-thanksgiving-holiday-weekend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Retail Federation<\/a>&nbsp;reports that&nbsp;38% of shoppers take advantage of sales specifically during the week before Thanksgiving, highlighting the value of early promotion.&nbsp;Launching promotions three to four weeks ahead lets potential customers plan their purchases and keeps your brand visible before competitors flood the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your website is&nbsp;hosted with us at Bluehost, make sure&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;ready for increased traffic.

Set clear goals and study competitors<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by defining what success looks&nbsp;like&nbsp;whether&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;increasing sales, building brand&nbsp;awareness&nbsp;or&nbsp;gaining new&nbsp;customers. Clear goals shape every part of your Black Friday marketing guide, from your messaging to your offer strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research&nbsp;competitors\u2019&nbsp;past campaigns to&nbsp;understand what worked for them and where you can stand out.
