Own the conversation.
Own the weekend.
Five ways X makes BFCM feel like a toast to merchants — from the Spotlight unit to a live scoreboard in the feed.
Creative idea 01 · Spotlight unit
Spotlight Shoutouts
The weekend belongs to the shops people actually name.
In the weeks leading up to BFCM — and through the weekend — ask people to shout out a favorite small business, or the one they’re about to buy from. Surprise-and-delight the posts. Then put the shops they named in the Spotlight.
- Users tag a shop they love or plan to buy from.
- Selected posts get a surprise-and-delight moment in-feed.
- Shopify picks shouted-out shops and rotates them through the 24-hour Spotlight so they are unmissable that weekend.

Creative idea 02 · Custom microsite · xAI
From Feed to Cart
Your X profile already knows what you want. Shopify turns it into deals.
xAI reads public X activity and builds a personalized BFCM shelf — products from Shopify merchants that actually match how someone shows up on the platform. Scan, land, shop.
- A custom microsite, not a generic catalog.
- Public posts, follows, and interests become the brief.
- Every recommendation is a real Shopify merchant.

Creative idea 03 · Threaded carousel
Treasure Thread
Tap a category. Land in a thread of shops that sell exactly that.
A carousel of product categories turns BFCM into a hunt. Choose Home, Beauty, Streetwear — and drop into a thread of Shopify merchants. Each post goes to the shop. Come back, pick another aisle.
- Carousel of categories in-feed.
- Tap opens a thread of merchants and products in that aisle.
- Every post is a door to the merchant’s site.

Creative idea 05 · Dynamic media
Share the Wins
Live numbers. Live proof. A friendly nudge toward the deals.
Dynamic Media keeps merchant results on-screen all weekend — GMV, peak rate, shops hitting records — updating as the hours land. The feed itself becomes the scoreboard, and the scoreboard points at the cart.
- Creative that rewrites itself from a live data source.
- Keeps energy high between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
- Needs an API, Sheet, or ranking feed to automate the updates.
