From your audit to live Black Friday campaigns

From a week of traffic data to a measured sale weekend. A dedicated strategist runs each step with your team.

Step 1Audit

See which visitors could add the most revenue

See which visitor segments hold the most revenue before any campaign is built.

  • Segments ranked by revenueEvery visitor segment, sized by the revenue it could add.
  • A plan for each phaseCampaigns mapped to before the sale, the sale weekend and December.
  • Reviewed with your strategistFindings and launch order agreed with your team.
Step 2Design

Black Friday campaigns that look like your store

Your strategist builds each campaign to your brand guidelines, starting from tested templates.

  • Brand guidelines appliedFonts, colors and imagery stay consistent across every campaign and site.
  • Designed for mobile69% of Black Friday views came from phones, so every design starts there.
  • Your team keeps controlCodes, copy and end dates can change at any point during the sale.
Step 3Target

The right offer for every visitor

Each visitor sees the offer that fits their traffic source, behavior and customer status.

  • Offers aligned with your adsPaid traffic lands on the offer the ad promised, with the same discount and wording.
  • Timing based on behaviorOffers appear after a set level of engagement, such as pages viewed.
  • Frequency controlsSubscribers skip signup offers, and campaigns per visitor are capped.
Step 4Recover

Recover more carts with AI-powered cart recovery

AI identifies shoppers likely to leave a full cart and shows them a reminder before they go. Available on Shopify.

  • Higher cart valueThe reminder suggests items often bought with the cart.
  • Sale deadline in viewA countdown shows how long Black Friday prices remain.
  • Discounts kept in checkShoppers keep the price they saw, without a new code.
Step 5Test

A/B test your offer before the sale weekend

Test two or three versions of your offer before the sale and launch the one that performs.

  • A clear resultSee which version won and its effect on your main goal.
  • Measured incrementalityA control group shows what each version added.
  • Results before the saleTests started in October conclude before Black Friday.
Step 6Measure

Measure revenue against a control group

Track displays, conversions and attributed revenue for every campaign, week by week.

  • Incremental revenueA control group separates added sales from sales that would have happened anyway.
  • The full season in one viewCompare Black Friday week with the weeks around it.
  • In-season adjustmentsYour strategist reviews results with your team and adjusts what underperforms.

FAQs

What kinds of Black Friday campaigns can we run with Wisepops?

Before the sale, early-access signups in popups and product page forms. During it, countdown bars, tiered-code popups, Onsite feed announcements and AI product recommendations. After Cyber Monday, AI cart recovery and web push reminders.

The client examples above show several of these as brands ran them.

Can Wisepops build our Black Friday campaigns for us?

Yes. Your strategist can design and build the campaigns from the audit plan, then review the results with you during the sale. You can edit any campaign yourself in the editor at any time, for example to change a code or an end date.

Does Wisepops work for our industry?

Black Friday campaigns run most often on ecommerce sites, and sites in other industries use Wisepops for their own seasonal offers. Each industry page covers the campaigns that fit that kind of site:

Will the campaigns match our brand?

Each campaign starts from a template and takes your images, logo, fonts and button colors in the editor. You can preview every campaign on desktop and mobile before it goes live.

Can we show different offers to different visitors?

Yes. Display rules target visitors by traffic source and UTM parameters, new or returning status, country, device and pages viewed. On Black Friday 2025, visitors from paid ads signed up at 17.7%, against 11.5% from search, so a separate offer for paid traffic is a good place to start.

Can we run Black Friday campaigns across several country stores?

Yes. Ideal of Sweden runs campaigns across its country storefronts in local language and offer, and Bardot runs its sale campaigns on four sites from one workspace.

Our guide to running Wisepops across multiple markets covers the setup, with examples from international brands.

Does Wisepops work with our ecommerce platform and email tool?

Wisepops connects with Shopify, WooCommerce and WordPress, and sends signups to tools such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Omnisend. AI product recommendations and AI cart recovery are available on Shopify. The full list is on the integrations page.

How do you measure what our Black Friday campaigns earned?

We measure attributed revenue against a control group of visitors who see no campaign, so the figure reflects sales the campaigns added. For a sale that lasts a few days, we recommend an attribution window of 24 to 48 hours.
