How do I reduce cart abandonment on Black Friday?

Every Black Friday, I see massive traffic to my online store, but a huge percentage of potential customers abandon their shopping carts before completing purchases. My conversion rates drop dramatically during this high-stakes shopping period, and I'm losing significant revenue. I need a strategic approach to understand why customers are leaving and how to create compelling interventions that keep them engaged and motivated to complete their transactions. What are the most effective tactics to minimize cart abandonment during peak shopping seasons?

Growth Suite Tip

Advanced Cart Drawer in Growth Suite keeps the cart visible without disrupting the browsing flow, and can display upsell offers and free shipping thresholds in the cart. When shoppers see how close they are to free shipping, 15-20% add items to qualify, reducing abandonment for a different reason - they get more invested in the cart.
