Black Friday 2026 is **Friday 27 November**, and Cyber Monday is **Monday 30 November**. In India and the Gulf it now competes with festive and White Friday sales, so the brands that win warm up audiences early and keep the offer simple.

## A four-week plan

| Week | Dates | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 to 8 Nov | Grow audiences: video views, new collections, early sign-ups |
| 2 | 9 to 15 Nov | Collect leads: "Get early access" with WhatsApp or email |
| 3 | 16 to 26 Nov | Tease the offer, retarget engaged people |
| 4 | 27 to 30 Nov | Full offer, countdowns, best sellers, Cyber Monday extension |

Launch and test new ads in weeks 1 and 2. Meta says an ad set usually needs about 50 results in a week to leave learning, so new ads need time before the sale. Do not launch untested ads on the day.

## Offer ideas

- One simple discount across the store
- Bundles that raise order value: "Buy 2, get 1"
- Gift with purchase above a threshold
- Early access for subscribers
- Free shipping with a delivery-by date

## Creative angles

- **Countdown:** "48 hours left"
- **Best-seller proof:** "Our top 5, at the lowest price this year"
- **Bundle value:** show the saving in rupees, not just a percentage
- **Gift guide:** by budget, such as under INR 999 and under INR 2,999
- **Founder note:** why this sale exists and when it ends

## Mistakes to avoid

- Turning on brand-new campaigns on Black Friday itself, when they have no time to learn
- Discounts so deep they cancel your margin; check your break-even ROAS first
- One tired ad carrying the whole week
- Landing pages that do not show the sale price
