How do I track Black Friday ad performance?

As an e-commerce store owner preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to effectively track and analyze my advertising performance. I want to understand which ads are driving the most revenue, how different channels are performing, and which audience segments are generating the highest return on ad spend. I need a comprehensive strategy to measure my marketing efforts beyond just basic metrics, ensuring I can make data-driven decisions during this critical sales period.

Tracking Black Friday Ad Performance

Black Friday moves too fast for weekly review cycles. Daily (sometimes hourly) checks let you shift budget from underperforming campaigns before you waste significant spend.

Growth Suite Tip

Use Growth Suite's Funnel Report alongside your ad platform data to understand where traffic is converting (or dropping off) on-site. High ad CTR but low on-site conversion usually means a landing page problem, not an ad problem.
