Should I proactively communicate on Black Friday?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm uncertain about how to approach Black Friday communication. Should I flood my customers with promotional emails and ads, or take a more strategic approach? I want to maximize sales without overwhelming my audience or seeming desperate. I'm looking for guidance on communication frequency, tone, and timing that will help me stand out in the crowded holiday shopping landscape while maintaining my brand's integrity and building customer trust.
