15 Black Friday pin ideas to make
Each idea links to a free tool that suits the format. Mix several formats so your boards do not look repetitive.
Clear, honest product pins work better than loud sale graphics. Show the product, state the offer plainly, and link straight to the page. Make sure any price or discount on a pin matches the landing page, and update or remove sale pins when the offer ends.
Gift guides and wish list pins about 60 days ahead so they are saved early. Sale announcement pins in the final two weeks, once your offer is set. Cyber Monday follows three days later, so prepare a second set of pins.
The countdown above sets the start pinning date 60 days before Black Friday and the latest comfortable date at 45 days. Those are
planning rules of thumb, not measured figures, so check your own phrases in Pinterest Trends to see when interest begins to
rise for your audience. To map several seasons at once, use the seasonal pin planner
or the Pinterest content calendar.
Black Friday pin ideas FAQ
When is Black Friday?
It is the Friday after US Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. The countdown calculates it each year, so the date always matches.
Should Black Friday pins show prices?
Only if they are accurate and match the landing page. Prices change quickly during sales, so many shops show the offer, such as 30 percent off sitewide, rather than a specific price, and remove the pin when the sale ends.
Do I need to disclose affiliate links in deal pins?
Yes. If you earn from the links, add a clear disclosure in the pin description and on the page. The affiliate disclosure generator can help you write one.
