Black Friday campaign plan template

A Black Friday campaign plan lines up stock, site work, email, ads and customer service so everything is ready before the sale goes live. This example covers ten weeks around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, from setting a margin floor and ordering stock to VIP early access, the sale weekend and following up with first-time buyers.

How to use this template

  1. Set your dates first

    Find the Friday after US Thanksgiving for this year and make that week 8. Count back from it for stock and creative deadlines, because supplier lead times usually decide the real start date.

  2. Agree the margin floor

    Before choosing an offer, work out the lowest price each product can sell for after discount, fees and shipping. A clear floor stops last-minute codes and bundles that lose money on every order.

  3. Name an owner for each day

    Fill the sale-week rota with who watches stock, site errors and support queues each day. Problems during the sale need a decision within minutes, not the following morning.
