A Profitable Black Friday: 4 Decisions to Make Before November 1

During Black Week 2025, spending increased by 0.4% in value terms, while sales volume declined by 3%. Black Friday primarily served to bring forward Christmas shopping—and offered discounts on those purchases. Its profitability is therefore determined well before November 27: by the list of promoted items, the order volume, the list price, and the response rules.

This white paper explains, step by step, why a profitable Black Friday starts in September and October: what to promote, how much inventory to stock, what reference price to display, and how to respond to the competition. Verified figures from 2024 to 2026.
