How E-commerce Marketers Can Win Black Friday

As new global eCommerce players expand their influence across both European and US markets, traditional brands are navigating a rapidly shifting landscape.

This evolution is reshaping consumer expectations and forcing traditional brands to rethink their approach, particularly around major retail events like Black Friday.

When it comes to their mobile marketing, these marketplaces are turning their attention away from mass user acquisition and focusing more on deepening engagement with their existing users. This pivot suggests a new challenge for brands: increasing investment in retention and re-engagement campaigns to avoid losing customers to these giants during the holiday rush.
