Black Friday campaigns: Email and PPC tactics that convert
Added: 11 November 2024
Black Friday is no longer just for big brands. Devon-based businesses from online stores to service providers can take advantage of the hype to boost sales and enquiries. The key? Aligning your email marketing and PPC campaigns into one focused push.
Here’s how to plan and execute a campaign that actually converts.
Warm up your email list early
Don’t wait until the day. Start teasing your Black Friday offers with short, value-driven emails a week or two in advance. Let people know what’s coming and how they can benefit.
Tip: Use subject lines like “It’s Coming…” or “Early Access for Subscribers Only.”
Segment and personalise
Not all your customers want the same thing.>
Split your list by past purchases, interests, or location and send targeted deals that feel more relevant.
Personalised emails get 2–3x more engagement than generic ones.
Time your PPC campaigns strategically
Google Ads and social media platforms get noisy around Black Friday.
Don’t just throw money at it, schedule your PPC campaigns to run during key windows (e.g. Thursday night, Friday morning, Cyber Monday), and use countdowns or urgency in your copy.
Bonus: Retarget past site visitors or cart abandoners with special Black Friday-only deals.
Align messaging across channels
Make sure your email, PPC ads, and landing pages all speak the same language.
Repeating your offer clearly across platforms boosts confidence and reduces confusion.
Example:
Email says “25% Off This Weekend Only” → Ad says the same → Landing page reinforces it.
Clarity = conversions.
Track and optimise in real time
Don’t just set it and forget it.
Monitor your campaign performance during the weekend and be ready to tweak budgets, bids, or subject lines.
A small change mid-campaign can make a big difference in ROI.
