Let’s get started!

What to Promote

Black Friday is often referred to as a rehearsal for the New Year. However, this is not just because of the scale of the event and its worldwide popularity. It’s because, during this period, a significant portion of the audience buys gifts for the upcoming holidays. For advertisers, this means increased demand for all categories of offers, including those without a physical counterpart.

  • E-commerce (Goods)

Of course, the most popular vertical during this period is e-commerce or goods. The goods group of offers can include clothing, toys, household items, and electronics.

One of the most popular offers during this period is electronic products. Audiences from most regions are willing to spend a substantial amount on a gadget they’ve been dreaming of, especially if convinced that the product is available at a discount and the offer is unique and exclusive.

Auto products, video games, and… physical health goods are also experiencing increased demand among audiences. On the one hand, such offers can be categorized as nutra. On the other hand, when talking about the vertical of beauty and health products, we primarily mean various types of supplements.

Products that help with pain relief and solve problems related to appearance or health enjoy particular popularity among audiences in different regions. They generate increased engagement primarily due to the relevance of pain presence and the desire to alleviate it as soon as possible. Attractive discounts and other advantages of purchasing during sales events are significant triggers for order placement.

  • Nutra (Health and Beauty)

Interest in this vertical of health and beauty products is considered the most stable in the market, and the increased user activity leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday allows for effective promotion of popular offers, maximizing benefits.

  • Sweepstakes

Audiences still want to get the most with minimal investment, making the sweepstakes and lottery vertical as relevant as ever. An excellent informational trigger, in this case, is focusing on a giveaway in connection with a sale on a popular marketplace, with a gift certificate usually serving as the prize.

  • Finance

With all the excitement around sales, the question remains: Where to get money for all these discounts? Financial offers come to the rescue, allowing advertisers to obtain the necessary amount in the shortest possible time. In this case, the approach doesn’t necessarily have to be built around an event since user activity around the finance vertical rises regardless of being tied to an informational trigger.

How to Promote During Sales

The first and crucial thing to understand is that the target audience for your offer during Black Friday and Cyber Monday doesn’t change much. It only expands and may include user groups that previously showed no interest in the product. For example, the female audience might start showing interest in a male enhancement gel due to the upcoming holidays and the desire to please loved ones.

The purchasing power during sales applies equally to both genders. The crucial change in traffic behavior to consider is the increase in desktop activity. As most purchases are impulsive, the main emphasis in creatives and landing pages should be emotionality.

Approaches to Promotion During Sales:

  • Marketplace Styling

Advertisements from popular marketplaces are trusted more than unknown ads. To encourage users to click on the creative, use a visual design or mention a popular online platform in the region.

  • Branded Creatives

Using popular brands’ aesthetics, colors, and approaches also increases the likelihood of users clicking on ads during sales. The principle of “not too glossy” works in reverse within those days.

  • Limited-time Offers

Clear deadlines and creating the uniqueness of the offer make users click on ads more often. Interactive elements, such as timers and countdowns, increase the likelihood of placing orders much better than on regular sales days.

  • Specify the Discount Amount

Show the user how much they will save by buying now.

  • SALE

“Sale” and “discount” are still excellent and, most importantly, effective psychological techniques.
