How Black Friday Deals work
We run Black Friday Deals as an annual global campaign around Black Friday. The booking window spans from November 17, 2022 to December 1, 2022, giving you 10 days to capture demand. You can join by offering guests deep discounts on your room or unit rates for a limited time.
Due to their limited and deeply discounted nature, Black Friday Deals create excitement to book travel during this shopping period. It also gives travelers a sense of flexibility and security thanks to its long stay window that runs from November 17, 2022 through December 30, 2023 – which is especially important now.
We use a “Black Friday Deal” badge to make your property stand out to potential bookers. You'll also receive marketing support to maximize your property’s exposure across various customer channels, such as email, banners, landing pages, and our own platform. Guests can’t stack this deal with other deals like the Genius discount.
