It'll be the first Black Friday for our product - MakerBox. So, want to learn about your experience and tips 😊

Here are my learnings: - Looks like people don't do crazy discounts, but rather something between 20%- 30%. - More yearly packages for your SaaS - Discounts usually apply only to new customers/ subscriptions This is what I got so far from people who applied their deals to this list https://bit.ly/3TGXsFG

I've generally found that strategically placed discount (for ex: lost leaders) tend to accomplish two things for us: 1 - upsell/xsell other (strategic) products, and 2 - drive overall brand recognition and affinity. The main trick is to be wise with what you intend to discount. For example, if you discount a camera, some subset of your customers will opt to buy film (sorry for the archaic example... its just the 1st thing that popped into my head but you get the point). This has been our experience. Hope it is helpful to you.

I recently switched from free plans to trial + paid only. So I offered the 30% discounts for old customers anyway so skipping the black friday :)

We do. We usually offer "buy one get one free" deal as we have many add-ons. This time we might try something else, as long as it affects the bottom line positively.

@sergey_kornilov1 good plan! By the way, we recently introduced quite similar thing - bundles (3 products for the cost of 2). And now 9/10 users choose this option. Just WOW.

@sergey_kornilov1 That's a great idea! I'll need to bookmark that one for next year.

@basv Yep, basically the same idea and works better than a simple discount.

Yes we offered 30% on all plans on black friday in 2021. I have seen saas offer deals upto 50% off for their annual plans and upto 30% on their lifetime deals. We saw sales go up by over 40-50% in November(on the monthly basis) because of our black friday offer. This year we have decided to feature other saas deals offering discounts on Black friday deal page sorted based on upvotes. https://www.vadoo.tv/black-frida...

I think flash sales are a great way to generate excitement for your Black Friday deals. Best of luck! 🀞

@patricia_lawmaker Everyone basically makes a discount of up to 30%, like here https://yourherbs.ru/ru/ for example. But that's great too.
