Should I set daily Black Friday ad budgets?

As an e-commerce business preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling with how to strategically allocate my daily ad budgets. I want to maximize my return on ad spend (ROAS) during this critical sales period without overspending or running out of budget too quickly. My goal is to understand the most effective approach to daily budget management across different advertising platforms like Meta, Google, and TikTok during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping season.
