In order to make the most of your Black Friday 2025, it’s important to use different promotional tactics. These are ways of spreading the word about your sale, what makes you stand out from the crowd, and why your products are worth purchasing. With so many businesses offering deals on this holiday, your promotion is key in ensuring shoppers choose you over your competitors.

Let’s take a look at some of the promotional tactics you could use to boost your Black Friday 2025 presence.

Omnichannel Marketing

One of the ways that you can ensure you reach the most potential amount of customers is through ensuring that you have a strong omnichannel presence. This means that you should use a mix of digital channels as well as in-store tactics (if relevant) to ensure that customers know about your promotions.

Some of the digital channels you could use include AI informed email and SMS marketing. On top of that, a strong social media presence is important in ensuring that customers are engaged with your new campaign as well as just viewing it.

Using social media competitions and discounts can help spread the word about your business so that more people can be aware of the Black Friday promotions. Using user generated content to spread your discounts even more will also spread awareness of your brand community.



Communicate Clearly

Something else that is important is making sure that customers know about your deals. After all, how could they know about your promotions if you aren’t clearly sharing the details of them? Details that should be shared include:

  • Are the deals site wide?

  • How long do they last for?

  • Do they require a coupon code?

  • Are there bundling deals?

It’s best to be very open with the kinds of deals you are offering. This means that you will reduce any confusion or disappointment further down the line. Offering an AI chat assistant to provide answers to any questions regarding your Black Friday deals can also be a great idea.

Early Access

Loyal customers love to receive VIP treatment in order to show them that they are valued within your business. Early access is a great way of boosting your sales whilst letting your top customers know that you value them. This will create strong brand loyalty, and also will give you an indication of what products are most popular.

Flexible Payments

Lastly, it’s important to ensure that your customers can pay in the way that suits them most. These days there are so many different payment options available, and each shopper has their preferred. 

Some examples of these are:

  • Bank card

  • Bank transfer

  • Paypal

  • Google Pay

  • Apple Pay

  • Klarna

Ensuring that shoppers can utilize any of these means that all shoppers are having their needs met. Payment plan solutions such as Klarna mean that even if customers are budget-conscious on the day of Black Friday, they can still make their purchases and pay back the full amount over time.

Conclusion

Black Friday 2025 offers a whole range of promotional tactics that introduce customers to your deals, as well as boost your brand sales. Making sure that all of these are employed for this Black Friday 2025 ensures that your business is staying up to date with others, and your customers will be satisfied with their experience with your brand.
