Eight Black Friday ads worth learning from

Each quote is from a live ad, read in full, with a link to it in Meta's Ad Library. We quote text and never copy the image or video.

  • Comfrt · since Oct 11

    “18% OFF* | Code EARLYACCESS”

    “Your Early Black Friday head start is here. Take 18% off orders $95+ with code EARLYACCESS. Excludes blankets.”

    Calls it a head start, gives a code, and a $95 floor protects the margin.

  • ButcherBox · since Sep 28

    “FREE Steaks for a Year”

    “Our Black Friday Sale Is Here! Get FREE Steaks for a YEAR and save up to $924* when you sign up with ButcherBox.”

    Leads with a year of free steak, then sends the click to a quiz that picks the box.

  • Warmies · since Oct 14

    “Our Biggest Pre-Black Friday Sale”

    “Our biggest sale before Black Friday is HERE! Buy 2 Warmies, get 1 FREE sitewide! Pick ANY Warmies as your free gift (equal or lesser value). Don't miss out!”

    Buy two, get one free lets shoppers choose the gift, so one ad sells the whole range.

  • Cuts · since Oct 23

    “Not a Conspiracy. Just 30% Off.”

    “No, this isn't a conspiracy theory. Black Friday really did start early. Get the tees with millions sold, built to last 100+ washes, plus pants that feel like sweats and look tailored, all 30% off sitewide. No code needed.”

    A joke headline, one number, and no code needed removes the last step at checkout.

  • Anabei · since Oct 18

    “Save Up to 60% Before Everyone Else”

    “You're in early. Get first access to our Black Friday Sale and save up to 60% sitewide before everyone else. Sofas start at just $699, with risk-free returns.”

    "You're in early" makes the click feel like a perk, and $699 anchors the sofa price.

  • Chicory · since Oct 14

    “Outdoor Dining Chairs From $138”

    “VIP early access to Black Friday is open. Enjoy up to 60% off sitewide, including our Outdoor Dining Chairs starting at just $138.”

    Opens on VIP early access, then sells one product line with a price and three reasons.

  • Sand Cloud · since Oct 20

    “Early Black Friday deals”

    “Why wait for Black Friday to get your gifts? Our biggest deals of the season start now, with up to 40% off bundles. Wrap up your holiday shopping early and skip the rush.”

    Turns Black Friday into early gift shopping, with bundles as the offer and the rush as the reason.

  • Oh Snap · since Oct 27

    “Ridiculously Early Access”

    “Last year we sold out of almost all colors. This year you get the Black Friday prices first. Take 25% off now and pick your colors before they're gone.”

    Uses last year's sellout as proof, so starting early reads as a favor, not a sale.

How we count

An ad counts when its text names Black Friday, BFCM, Cyber Monday or Cyber Week, or when our ad reader tags its offer for the event, and it started this season. We count named brands with at least one live Black Friday ad and drop lookalike and resale stores. No chart breaks out a group under 20 brands. Ads appear as quoted text with a link to Meta's Ad Library; we never copy an ad's image or video.

Run one of these brands and want an ad removed? Email us and we'll take it down.

Black Friday ads questions

  • Weeks before the day. The first brand we track started Black Friday ads on September 4, and half of the 68 brands had started by October 17. Many open with early access for their email list. Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27.

  • On each retailer's own site. Big stores like Walmart, Target and Best Buy post their Black Friday circulars there first. This page tracks something different: the Meta ads online brands run, with their offers and the pages they send shoppers to.

  • An ad counts when its text names Black Friday, BFCM, Cyber Monday or Cyber Week, or when our ad reader tags its offer for the event. We count named brands with at least one live ad, drop lookalike stores, and never break out a group under 20 brands.
