Get Black Friday + Cyber Monday *right*: promo tips, discounts, and free social assets 😉

Black Friday this year is set to be the biggest yet with online sales still on the rise and millions of fans looking to support creators and online brands. As we go into peak season, launch your most successful sales yet on products your community will love. This year, we’re aiming to make the Cyber weekend monumental for creators. Keep reading to find out the best way to make the last quarter of 2020 really count.

Shape your strategy around discount codes 

BF and CM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) will mean an increase of sales for creators. All you have to do is point your community in the right direction to benefit from your promotions. In 2019, creators who set up their own promo codes saw their sales double a week before Black Friday weekend.

First, create a solid schedule. Decide when you’d like to run your sales. Some creators release their sales in one burst over the Black Friday weekend and beyond, others decide to run several pre-sales in the 2 weeks running up. Last year, promo code usage spiked considerably the week before BFCM. Sales peaked in the few days leading up. Create a calendar mapping out the promo-codes you’re wanting to offer your followers, as well as when and how you’re going to make a noise about it on social media. 

Don’t forget, promo codes can be applied to all of your products. This means you’ll need to ensure there’s enough profit margin to support the promo—no matter what product is being purchased.
