As Black Friday approaches, a few feelings can come up:

  • FOMO: “I need to do something because everyone else is!”

  • Dread: “It’s just so much work.”

  • Excitement: “This is the year I’m going to crush it!”

  • Jadedness: “I don’t know why I even bother. It never goes well.”

  • Confusion: “Do I run a BOGO deal? Hidden coupons? Sitewide sale?!”

I typically feel all of these in one weekend (hence why I ran my sales early this year).

Even if you haven’t given it any thought, there is still time.

Below are 10 things I wish I could go back in time to tell myself when running Black Friday sales. If only I had known!
