What's the Black Friday ROI expectation?

As an e-commerce business owner preparing for Black Friday, I'm trying to understand realistic return on investment (ROI) expectations. My team wants to create targeted campaigns that maximize revenue while avoiding overspending. We've run promotions in previous years but never systematically tracked our performance metrics. I need comprehensive insights into what successful brands are achieving, how to calculate ROI accurately, and what factors influence Black Friday marketing performance across different industries and business sizes.
