Black Friday is coming: How to turn clicks into conversions

The busiest shopping weekend of the year is almost here, and while traffic spikes are exciting, what really matters is how many of those clicks turn into customers.

The busiest shopping weekend of the year is almost here, and while traffic spikes are exciting, what really matters is how many of those clicks turn into customers.

This November, millions of Australians will be browsing online, comparing offers, and hunting for deals. To stand out in a sea of sales, your marketing strategy needs to go beyond flashy discounts. It’s about crafting a seamless, high-performing experience that converts curiosity into checkout.

At Koola Digital, we help brands do exactly that, from data-driven ad campaigns to optimised landing pages that make every click count.


1. Speed & experience: The silent deal-breakers

It doesn’t matter how good your offer is if your website takes too long to load. In the frenzy of Black Friday, users expect instant results, a delay of even one second can drastically increase bounce rates and lost sales.

What to focus on:

  • Compress images and videos without sacrificing quality.

  • Test your mobile site speed, most traffic now comes from smartphones.

  • Simplify navigation so shoppers can get from product to checkout in as few clicks as possible.

💡 Pro Tip: A clean, fast, and frictionless user journey builds trust, and trust drives conversions.

2. Building irresistible offers (without devaluing your brand)

It’s easy to fall into the trap of deep discounts just to compete. But smart brands know that Black Friday isn’t about racing to the bottom, it’s about presenting value and urgency.

Try this instead:

  • Offer bundles or limited-edition sets to boost perceived value.

  • Create early-bird access or exclusive deals for your email subscribers.

  • Use countdown timers and stock counters to add real-time urgency.

Done right, your offers should excite, not cheapen your brand.

At Koola, we help you design irresistible promotions that align with your brand identity, keeping your margins healthy while your conversions soar.

3. Optimise CTAs, checkout, and retargeting

Once users land on your site, your next challenge is guiding them smoothly to purchase. A confusing checkout or weak call-to-action can kill momentum fast.

Conversion-boosting essentials:

  • Use bold, action-oriented CTAs (“Get My Deal”, “Claim 20% Off Now”)

  • Streamline checkout: offer guest checkout, simplified forms, and clear delivery info

  • Set up retargeting campaigns to remind visitors what they’ve viewed or left in their cart with dynamic product ads or timely emails

💡 Did you know? Customers often convert on their second or third visit, retargeting keeps your brand top of mind when they’re ready to buy.
