For startups, November isn’t just another month—it’s the beginning of the most competitive advertising period of the year. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the weeks surrounding them have evolved into a global marketing marathon. Budgets expand, expectations rise, and almost every brand, big and small, fights for a share of consumer attention.
But while inboxes and feeds become saturated with repetitive ads, one channel is quietly gaining momentum among digital-first businesses: Telegram. Its direct communication formats, high engagement, and niche-specific communities are turning it into a powerful environment for performance marketing. Seeing this shift, the advertising automation platform Telega.io has introduced its annual Sales Season, giving brands—especially early-stage companies—a way to advertise on Telegram at significantly lower costs, with discounts reaching up to 70%.
For many founders and marketers, this seasonal program provides a rare opportunity: access to premium audiences without the premium price tag.

Why Telegram Is Becoming a Key Player in Black Friday Advertising
Telegram has developed into more than a messaging app. It hosts thousands of micro-communities, thematic channels, and creator-led pages where users actively seek content and recommendations. Unlike algorithm-driven platforms, Telegram allows brands to reach subscribers directly, without the uncertainty of organic reach or bidding wars that usually drive up costs in peak season.
During November, three major consumer behaviors favor Telegram-based advertising:
- Deal-hunting is intentional. Users follow channels specifically curated for discounts, product finds, and recommendations.
- Creator trust is high. Telegram channels often function like niche newsletters, and audiences rely on their curators for advice and product picks.
- Engagement peaks around seasonal events. Black Friday content sees faster reactions, higher click-through rates, and increased sales interest.
For startups competing with established brands, these characteristics create a level playing field. The challenge, however, is navigating the fragmented ecosystem of thousands of channels—and doing so quickly during the busiest sales season of the year. That’s where Telega.io offers value.
What Telega.io’s Sales Season Brings to Startups and Growing Brands
Running until November 30, Telega.io’s Sales Season compiles Telegram channels offering temporary, high-value discounts on ad placements. These reductions—up to 70%—give businesses a rare chance to stretch their advertising budgets significantly.
Here’s what this means for small and scaling companies:
- Low-risk experimentation with different niches and audiences
- Higher posting frequency without inflating the budget
- The ability to test new verticals such as crypto, online learning, IT, lifestyle, or e-commerce communities
- More data per dollar spent, which is essential for growth teams focused on iteration
For entrepreneurs working with lean budgets, this is especially relevant. Instead of choosing between one or two expensive placements on traditional platforms, startups can diversify their Telegram campaigns and gather insights from multiple sources.
Finding discounted placements is simple. Advertisers sign up on Telega.io, access the catalog, and select the Sales Season section. There, they can browse curated channels offering temporary promotional rates and launch campaigns within minutes.
Intelligent Tools That Minimize Operational Work for Advertisers
Telega.io isn’t just a directory of channels—it combines automation, analytics, and AI-driven recommendations to simplify campaign management. For founders, bootstrapped teams, or marketers juggling multiple responsibilities, these tools make Telegram advertising more accessible.
AI Channel Picker
Telega.io’s machine learning engine reviews millions of past ad placements and identifies channels that historically work well for similar ads and audiences. Startups that don’t have large analytics teams benefit from instant recommendations grounded in real performance data.
Built-in performance tracking
Instead of manually tracking CTR, CPC, views, or conversions, advertisers can monitor results directly through Telega.io’s dashboard. This reduces reporting time and allows teams to evaluate which channels deliver the strongest ROI.
Educational materials for seasonal campaigns
Throughout November, the platform publishes guides, tactical checklists, and campaign-planning content aimed at helping businesses structure their Black Friday and Cyber Monday strategy. These resources cover topics like timing, post structure, audience selection, and offer positioning—knowledge especially useful for early-stage marketers.
Personalized support
Startups purchasing ad packages can receive one-on-one assistance. Whether it’s choosing channels, scheduling posts, or analyzing results, the added support helps teams move quickly without sacrificing campaign quality.
Preparing a Startup for Black Friday: A Practical Approach
The biggest misconception about seasonal advertising is that success comes from discounts alone. In reality, Black Friday is a race for attention, not just lower prices. Startups that outperform competitors during November generally follow a clear strategy:
- Start preparation early. Strong offers require thoughtful positioning, not rushed copy.
- Spread placements across several days. A single burst rarely captures maximum demand.
- Use a mix of large and niche channels. Niche Telegram communities often outperform bigger ones in CTR and conversions.
- Iterate rapidly. With built-in analytics, teams can adjust messages and creatives in real time.
- Focus on clarity. During peak shopping days, users skim content—simple offers win.
Telega.io’s platform design supports this approach. Automation reduces operational workload, while analytics and AI recommendations allow brands to optimize quickly—critical during a short, high-pressure season.
A Final Advantage: Additional Promo Savings
Alongside the channel discounts, advertisers launching Telegram campaigns in November can use the promo code SALESSEASON to get an extra 5% off one order before November 30. For startups, every percentage point counts, especially when scaling paid acquisition.
