• 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.
• Giveaway campaigns to build a list before a big saleInstead of a "join the VIP list" campaign before Black Friday or a holiday sale, run a 2-week high-value giveaway on a conversion objective with an offer on the thank-you page, judged on ROAS, then draw the winner live just before the sale opens.
• 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.
