Should I include special Black Friday inserts?

As an e-commerce merchant preparing for Black Friday, I'm wondering whether adding special promotional inserts or materials to my product shipments could enhance customer experience and potentially drive future sales. I want to understand the strategic value, potential costs, and best practices for creating these inserts without seeming overly sales-focused or cheap. What are the most effective ways to design and implement these promotional materials during a high-traffic shopping season?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Include special Black Friday inserts if they add genuine value: a handwritten thank-you, an exclusive next-purchase discount, or product usage tips. Avoid inserts that feel like spam - they damage the unboxing experience.

Black Friday Package Inserts That Drive Results

The right insert turns a transaction into a relationship. The wrong insert is litter. Choose inserts that add genuine value to the customer's experience with their purchase.

Insert Economics

A physical insert costs $0.10-0.50 to produce. A 5% redemption rate on a $15-off next-purchase card that generates a $60 repeat order has a 20x+ ROI. Calculate yours before deciding on insert type.
