What’s Working?
We want to focus on 3 main campaign ideas that can be used for your Black Friday marketing and beyond:

* Bundle Offers
* Lead Generation Contests
* Lead Magnets

These campaign ideas are perfect for Black Friday and the holidays, but they can also perform well all year round.

BFCM may be the biggest retail event of the year, but there’s no reason why you can use these ideas at any time.

Let’s get into it.
1 Bundle Offers
Creating mixed product bundles is an excellent option for your Black Friday marketing strategy and can also boost sales.

Pairing a popular high ticket item with a complimentary add-on can not only make the high ticket item more appealing, with a higher perceived value. Still, it can help sell less popular items that people may not have considered otherwise.

For example, let’s use a bundle offer to buy a jacket and get a scarf 50% off. The jackets are $200, and the scarves are $30; this can make purchasing the jacket much more appealing to shoppers, and you’re only giving a $15 discount off a $230 purchase — that’s 6.5% off the whole order.
