Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM) can make or break Q4, but timing your sale wrong—or structuring your offer poorly—can leave money on the table. In this episode, Andrew Faris breaks down the data that reveals exactly when to launch your sale and why most brands get this wrong.

You’ll learn how to:

- Structure BFCM offers that maximize AOV and profit per order.

- Avoid common mistakes around margin erosion and shipping costs.

- Use early November shopping spikes to your advantage.

- Understand why sending more email and SMS is critical, not optional.

- Protect profit if inventory runs low, and why chasing “viral” Black Friday wins usually backfires.

This episode is about helping operators make data informed decisions. It will help operators scale profitably during the busiest season of the year. If you want to enter BFCM with confidence—and avoid the mistakes that drain margins—this episode will give you a clear framework to follow.
