For years, holiday strategy meant one thing: save your budget for Black Friday. But by the time Black Friday arrives, most shoppers have already decided what they're buying. They've scrolled TikTok, researched on Reddit, compared prices on Google. The brands winning don't outspend competitors. They outthink them.

Learn when to start your campaign

Most of your potential customers aren't searching yet. They're scrolling. TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube. These are discovery moments where shoppers encounter your category for the first time. Win here, and you own their mind when they eventually search and buy.

Amazon rankings, Walmart placement, SERP visibility. These don't shift overnight. Brands that wait until Cyber 5 week are competing for scraps. Brands that start optimizing 4-6 weeks out own the high-traffic real estate by the time conversion peaks.
