The New Rules of BFCM Marketing 2025

Why Black Friday Cyber Monday 2025 Requires a New Playbook

Seconds. That’s all it takes to lose a BFCM  sale in 2025.

Purchase decisions that once took hours now happen almost instantly, often made or influenced by AI tools comparing products, scanning reviews, and finding better offers before you can respond.

The gap between “interested” and “gone” has never been smaller. Every minute you can’t act on buying intent is an opening for a competitor to win the sale, and the customer.

The New Rules of BFCM marketing gives you the top Cyber Monday and Black Friday marketing personalization strategies to compete at this speed: 5 proven personalization plays built for high-intent, high-speed shopping moments so you can protect margins, capture more conversions, and build loyalty that lasts beyond Cyber Monday.

What’s Changing for Black Friday Cyber Monday in 2025

  • AI-powered shopping experiences are reshaping the path to purchase.

  • Customers are more selective about promotions, with trust influencing buying decisions.

  • Rising acquisition costs make blanket discounts less sustainable.

Brands that can adapt in real time, act in seconds, and deliver value to both human and AI shoppers will win the BFCM season.
