What if Black Friday sales are lower than expected?

My conversion rates are down, customers seem less engaged, and I'm uncertain how to quickly pivot my strategy to salvage the remaining shopping period. I need actionable insights to diagnose the problem, understand why sales are underperforming, and implement rapid recovery tactics that can help me maximize revenue even if the initial performance is disappointing.
