Author of this article：Fiona

when Black Friday Coming, the war drums of advertisers have already sounded. It is predicted that in 2025, global online Black Friday sales are expected to exceed hundreds of billions of dollars, with mobile phones contributing more than half.

In this kind of “traffic tide”, marketing is no longer about “stacking budgets”, but “grabbing opportunities + precision + ensuring efficiency”. and Facebook It is still the main battlefield that cannot be ignored in cross-border e-commerce, brand going out to sea, and private domain marketing.

But have you ever encountered such a dilemma?：

• Advertising investment doubled, but the conversion did not increase?
• It's only one day after Black Friday, but the cost of advertising is exploding?
• The customer comes in, but no one cares? Can't keep up with after-sales?

Don't panic, this article will be from Warm up in advance → Advertising → Community undertaking → Automated customer service → after-sales repurchase The whole process disassembles the actual marketing strategy of the Black Five Facebook. You can use it directly and combine it with your own brand scene to quickly land.

Strategy 1: Warm up in advance and build momentum from "expectation”

Black fiveNot a date, but a "craze”. According to the data, many consumers will enter the “observation period” several weeks in advance. On Facebook, this means you need：

1. Create a ”sense of countdown"

Starting in mid-October, you can start posting posts or short videos of “Black Friday countdown” and “Warm up tomorrow's surprises”. Let potential customers psychologically form the rhythm of “I have to come” and “I have to keep an eye on”.

2. Guide interaction in advance

Instead of direct “discount promotion”, you can first make interactive posts: "Which wireless headset do you want to win most on Black Friday this year?" Comment on type A or type B, and draw one at the end of the month to get a trial package. ”Drive expectations through interaction, and then launch discounts on Black Friday.

3. Segment the audience and do a good job of stratification of hot and cold people

In the warm-up stage, you already need to distinguish between “high-intent users”, “Browsing but not buying”, and “old customers”. Prepare different content for different groups.

For example: old customers send “exclusive discount + early purchase link"; browsing users who have not purchased send “3 big Black Five hot models + spike reminder"; high-intention users send "VIP limited quota reservation".

Doing so will make the delivery of advertisements on the day of Black Friday more efficient, and also allow users to “run” in their hearts: from “Know” → “Expect” → “Act”.

Strategy 2: Create exclusive advertising ideas for the Black Friday and seize the line of sight

During the Black Friday period, the CPM (cost of a thousand impressions) of Facebook ads usually rises by 50% to 100%. But the good news is-in this wave of high costs, if you can be “creative and eye-catching” and “targeted accurately”, you can still get better-than-average ROAS.

Therefore, you need to improve advertising creativity and delivery efficiency from the following four dimensions：

• 3 seconds before grabbing the eye：The Black Five scrolls visually extremely fast. You need to attract users to stay within 3 seconds: such as “only 24 hours left to buy”, “Black Friday carnival price drops by 30%”, “Limited to 100 units”, etc.
• Clear offer + limited time sense：Use words such as “black Five exclusive”, “limited”, and “only today” in the copywriting to create a sense of urgency. Facebook advertising data show that flat and direct discount messages are more effective on Black Friday.
• Multi-creative, multi-version A/B testing：It is more effective for different audiences to see different ideas. You need to prepare multiple texts and short videos at the same time, and then compare different audiences (cold traffic, browsing users, old customers).
• Strengthen Retargeting and then chase：During the Black Friday period, not everyone placed an order the first time they saw an advertisement. You have to Retargeting users who “have seen but have not placed an order” and “added to the shopping cart but have not paid”. Data show that it is more critical for advertising to enter the lower funnel stage.

Strategy 3: The community undertakes the conversion, so that the advertisement can be linked with the community

Advertising alone cannot complete all conversions, especially in the most competitive nodes such as the Black Friday, the trinity operation model of “advertising + community + private chat” can truly form an efficient closed loop.

1. Drain from advertising to private domain

The advertising traffic in the Black Five stage is huge, but the attention of users is extremely distracted. Therefore, adding “community guidance” to the creative is a smart way to extend it. You can add keywords to your ads or posts, such as：Add a CTA (call to action) to the ad copy: “Join the exclusive Facebook community and grab the Black Friday advance coupon”; Set the comment keyword trigger in the dynamic post: “Comment on the ‘Black Friday'to receive a hidden coupon code”.

Once users comment or click on the link, they can automatically enter Messenger private messages or designated Facebook communities to achieve from "public domain exposure" to “Private domain precipitation”The flow transfer.

💡 Tool empowerment：Mixdesk The system can be seamlessly integrated with Facebook-when the user clicks on an ad or leaves a message keyword：

• Automatically trigger the corresponding language private message welcome message；
• Automatic labeling and classification: Intelligent marking based on user sources (advertisements, groups, private chats) and keywords of interest (such as "discounts”, "logistics”, "new products”) to facilitate subsequent refinementmarketing；
• Intelligent routing mechanism: Automatic priority reception for high-intent users.

In this way, the linkage between advertising and the community becomes efficient, accurate and traceable, realizing the triple value of “crowd precipitation + data accumulation + automatic conversion”.

2. Use the community to create trust and then promote transactions

During the Black Friday period，communityIt is not only a "place for welfare", but also a “incubator of trust” between brands and consumers. Advertising can attract attention, but community can really precipitate relationships. In the community, what users see is no longer a one-way promotion of the brand, but a kind of “real life scene”-some people post orders, some discuss experiences, and some post real shots and out-of-the-box videos.

These contents naturally have a ”social proof" effect: when a person sees that others are buying, using, and giving positive feedback, the subconscious mind will have a sense of security and herd mentality, thereby reducing purchase hesitation. In addition, the community also allows brands to establish the ability to “continue to reach”. For example：

• A “48-hour reminder of the countdown to Black Friday" will be issued every night at 8 o'clock”；
• “Limited welfare updates” are announced daily to create a sense of urgency；
• Invite experts or employees to open a live broadcast to explain the "Black Five Hidden Discount Strategy”；
• Let group friends participate in interactive voting (such as "which discount product do you want to be next?" ”), enhance the sense of participation.

These actions may seem simple, but they virtually pave the way for the transformation of private chats. When users become interested in the content, they take the initiative to privately inquire“ "Is this still in stock?" ", “How to buy more cost-effective?" ”At that time, the transition from “interest” to “intention” has actually been completed.

Data show that the average conversion rate of private chat consulting users from active communities is 3.6 times higher than that of users who click on advertisements; and the average unit price of customers who enter private chats through community interaction has increased by about 27%.

This is the true power of the community-it is not a traffic channel, but a trust amplifier.

3. Private chat to guide the transaction process

Private chat is the scene with the highest conversion rate. At this time, what the brand has to do is not “promote”, but “accompany and guide”. It is recommended to prepare the followingautomationprocess：

• Welcome template: Thank you for joining, explain the rules of the event + exclusive benefits；
• Offer push template: Automatically send coupon code + order link + countdown reminder；
• Keyword quick reply: When the user sends information such as “logistics”, “surplus goods”, and “payment”, the system will immediately reply to the accurate information without waiting.

With the help of Mixdesk, You can create these “smart speech templates" in advance and trigger them by automatically identifying keywords.

For example: when the user asks “How many pieces are left?" "When the robot can automatically reply“ "The inventory is tight, there are only 12 pieces left~ you can enjoy a 25% Black Friday exclusive discount when you place an order", with a purchase link attached.

Like thisReal-time responseAnd personalized recommendations, not only improve the user experience, but also significantly improveConversion rate。

Strategy 4: Set the black five mode for customer service and after-sales service

On the day of Black Friday, the volume of inquiries and orders often skyrocketed several times. Relying on traditional manual customer service alone is prone to chain reactions such as ”delayed response, missed orders, and rising complaints". According to data from Drive Research, 71% of consumers chose to shop online during the Black Friday period, which means that customer serviceResponse speed, Directly affect sales performance.

1. Set up an automated customer service process

Before the Black Friday, it is recommended to build a set of exclusive "Black Friday Customer Service logic”：

• Preset frequently Asked Questions (Frequently asked questions), covering "discount policy”, "Logistics timeliness", and "Refund Rules”；
• Robots give priority to reception, and manual customer service handles complex issues；
• Set up a manual priority mechanism for high-value customers (such as repurchases or large orders).

💡 Mixdesk The depth of empowerment：

• Intelligent identification and diversion: The system automatically recognizes customer intentions (such as inquiry, complaint, after-sales), and assigns them to the corresponding customer service according to priority；
• Unified Messaging Center: Integrate Messenger, WhatsApp, Email and other multi-channel messages, customer service does not need to switch back and forth；
• Multi-language support: For cross-border Black Five scenarios, the built-in automatic translation function allows customer service to serve users around the world.

These functions help enterprises maintain high response speed and consistent service quality in the "explosive single phase", and customer waiting time can be shortened by 70%.

2. Add a "black Five Dedicated line" or flexible customer service scheduling

It is recommended to analyze the peak hours of previous years (such as 0-3 o'clock GMT Eastern time in the United States) and arrange the duty schedule in advance; set up a “Black Friday dedicated customer service channel” or an automatic welcome message to prompt customers to expect the waiting time during peak periods to avoid the loss of customer orders due to time zone differences or slow response.

With tools, automation and collaboration capabilities，Mixdesk So that “small teams can also cope with large traffic”：

• Robots give priority to answering frequently asked questions (saving 80% of repetitive work)；
• Manual customer service relay high-value consultation (increase transaction rate)；

In short，Mixdesk Let enterprises still achieve “fast response, no missed orders, and high satisfaction” under high-pressure nodes like the Black Friday, so as to achieve a win-win situation of efficiency and experience.

Strategy 5: Data-driven optimization, real-time monitoring and adjustment

The Black Friday is not about setting up an advertisement and finishing it, but an extremely accelerated marketing cycle. You need to watch while casting, tune while watching.

Core monitoring indicators include：

• Click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rate (CVR)
• Cost of thousand impressions (CPM)
• Average order value (AOV)

Real-time optimization recommendations：

• Once you find that an idea has a low CTR and a low CVR, quickly pause or iterate；
• Shift the budget from an inefficient audience to a ”browse + purchase" audience；
• Give priority to high AOV products or combination products；
• Make a second recall for users who have added to the shopping cart but have not placed an order.

Strategy 6: Extend in the late stage of the Black Friday, and be the first to layout and repurchase

The outbreak on the day of the Black Friday is only the beginning. What really determines the long-term profitability of the brand is the extension strategy of “after the Black Friday”. Many sellers breathed a sigh of relief after the Black Friday, but they also unknowingly missed the “golden period of repurchase”. You know, the popularity of users at this time has not subsided, and the memory of consumption is still fresh, which is the easiest group to wake up.

The following is an efficient and referable extension action after the Black Friday：

• Within 24-72 hours after the end of Black Friday, send "Missed discount reminder + Give you another limited-time replenishment coupon" to users who "have not placed an order + have added a car"；
• Send a “thank you letter + next repurchase code" to customers who place an order on the day of Black Friday to build loyalty；
• Establish a repurchase reach process, such as "90-day repurchase reminder" and "New product preview".

With the help of Mixdesk Timing orientationMass distributionThe function can not only complete the secondary reach under safe and seal-proof conditions, but also increase the repurchase rate and transform customers from one-time buyers to brand loyal fans. Through the systematic repurchase design, you no longer just “fight a black five battle”, but start the first battle of the year-round private domain cycle, and become the winner who truly wins the black Five.

Strategy 7: Budget Control and Risk Management

The Black Friday is a "traffic race”, and advertising costs and competitive intensity will soar in a short period of time. If you are not careful, the budget may be "burned” on inefficient traffic. To stabilize the ROI on the battlefield, you need not only a delivery strategy, but also a dual insurance of budget control and risk defense.

• Set flexible budget caps

In the Black Five stage, the budget is not static. It is recommended to set oneDaily budget limit + flexible expansion range, for example：The daily budget is limited to $500. If the ad conversion rate exceeds 5%, a 20% budget will be automatically added.

This can not only prevent invalid consumption, but also seize high-return advertising slots in a timely manner.

• Sub-channel testing to find the optimal delivery path

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. In the testing phase, first allocate a small budget, find a combination of “high clicks and low customer acquisition costs” through data analysis, and then focus on the main channels. It is recommended to test multiple delivery scenarios simultaneously: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, etc. The user mentality and conversion logic of each platform are different.

Facebook is suitable for ”grass planting + educational content" advertising；

Instagram is suitable for visually impactful event posters；

Messenger is more suitable for consultation and private chat transactions.

💡 use Mixdesk, You can uniformly summarize customer messages from different channels into the same background, view advertising sources, keyword inquiries and other data, so as to help you quickly judgeWhich channel has the highest ROI。

• Strengthen the risk control mechanism to prevent sudden account problems

Advertising volume surged during the Black Friday period, and the Meta system's review of account numbers was also stricter. Common risks include rejected advertisements, restricted accounts, abnormal payments, and abnormal behaviors. In order to reduce risks, frequently modify advertising content or delivery countries should be avoided; ensure that all materials are in compliance (especially preferential and countdown copywriting); prepare 1-2 alternate advertising accounts and payment methods in advance, just in case.
