What content do I need for Black Friday?

Question

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm feeling overwhelmed about preparing for Black Friday. I know it's a critical sales period, but I'm unsure what specific content I need to create to maximize conversions and stand out from competitors. I want to develop a comprehensive strategy that includes promotional materials, email campaigns, social media content, and website updates that will drive traffic and sales during this high-stakes shopping event. What types of content should I prioritize to ensure a successful Black Friday campaign?
