Should I focus on a Black Friday niche?

As an e-commerce entrepreneur, I'm trying to determine whether focusing on a specific niche for Black Friday is a strategic move or a potential limitation. I've noticed that some successful online stores specialize in narrow product categories during major shopping events, while others take a broader approach. I want to understand the pros and cons of niche targeting, potential market opportunities, and how to decide if a focused Black Friday strategy makes sense for my business model and growth objectives.
