• BFCM ad creative — simple offers, offer-in-the-hook props and gift-angle UGCSavannah Sanchez's Black Friday / Cyber Monday playbook (2025) — a straight sitewide % off beats tiers, BOGO and gifts-with-purchase; run stills and video; put the offer in the first second with physical text props (paper, whiteboard, phone, mirror, fingers, flashcards, post-its, cake, coffee, sand); overlay the offer on evergreen winners; and mix offer-led ads with gift-angle UGC (unboxings, real gift reactions, gift guides by recipient, last-minute shipping, money-saver and "girl math" hooks, reverse psychology, husband review).
• BFCM prep — housekeeping, offer, homepage and email plan (CTC checklist)CTC's Black Friday/Cyber Monday checklist for seven-figure brands, least to most impact — billing limits and 90%+ match rate, a simple 20%+ site-wide offer, AOV bundles when BFCM cohorts have poor LTV, a whale bundle (a $1,000 bundle for a $50-product brand), the homepage as the landing page, and the email/SMS cadence through the free-shipping cutoff.
• Black Friday / holiday sale creative from your existing UGC libraryCaraway's BFCM playbook — evergreen vs persona briefs, offer unmistakable in the first 3 seconds, reactivating last year's winners unchanged, renegotiating creator usage rights, organic-style UGC, partnership-ad Q&As with the offer, persona mashups — plus the planning timeline (plan Aug, produce Sept, QA Oct, launch ~Nov 1), tiered offers and a pre-built backup offer.
• How many Black Friday ads to make — CTC's BFCM creative volume researchCTC's research across its Meta accounts — BFCM-specific ads take only ~30% of holiday spend (evergreen ~70%), October ads out-spend Black Friday ads by 50% over Q4 so don't sacrifice them, diminishing returns don't arrive until ~1,500 BF ads (one brand went $5K→$55K/day), make at least 2x last year's count, and the production order frames → catalogs → statics → video remixes → new creator content.
• How many promotional emails to send — campaign cadence tied to the marketing calendarCTC's case that email is a promotional channel, not just retention — Spiral Bible (no LTV) went from 18 to 27 campaigns a month with every send tied to a calendar moment, 2.8x campaign revenue and 28% of revenue from email — plus the BFCM cadence (3/week → daily → 3/day → extension → shipping cutoff) and how story emails fit in.
• Persona landing pages, listicles and promo assetsHow Dose builds angle/persona-specific landing pages (the "grill dad" listicle), when a listicle format fits, buy box on-page vs redirect for advertorials, PDP vs LP for paid traffic, no-dev page builders (1 month → 1 week), and low-lift Black Friday promo assets.
