The Ultimate BFCM 2025 Prep Guide for Ecommerce Brands
The old BFCM playbook is dead.
Data from H1 2025 shows ad spend increased by 27.24% while conversion value only grew by 20.22%, signalling the end of the “easy growth” era. With customer acquisition costs rising 11.70%, and new customer revenue declining from 57% to 52%, brands can no longer rely on last-minute strategies to grab as many new customers as possible.
This year, success requires new tactics, earlier preparation, and smarter use of data from both BFCM 2024 and H1 2025 trends. Because throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick is so last decade.

H1 2025 performance data from 10,000+ ad accounts showing exactly how the landscape has changed
