TL;DR - Quick Answer

Boost Black Friday social posts that are already performing well organically. Boosting high-engagement organic content converts better than boosting fresh content because the algorithm has already validated it with your audience.

Boosting Black Friday Social Posts

Boosting is the fastest form of social advertising. It amplifies content that's already resonating with your audience, which typically outperforms boosting fresh or underperforming content.

Boost IfDon't Boost If
Organic engagement is above averagePost has no organic engagement
Post contains a clear offer with CTALifestyle post without offer/CTA
Post generated comments asking about the dealPost about brand values (low purchase intent)

Boost vs. Ad Manager

The Boost button is simple but limited. Use Facebook/Instagram Ad Manager to boost with more targeting control - specify your Custom Audiences (retargeting) rather than the default "people who like your page + their friends" which is often low quality.
