What to do before Black Friday
The warm-up period, which spans the months leading up to Black Friday, is a critical phase in preparing for the big event. This time is used to build anticipation and lay the groundwork for a successful campaign. It's the period when you start warming up your customer base (and Meta Pixel), so your audience is ready to shop when the sale goes live.
