The busiest shopping weeks of the year are almost here, and smart preparation can make all the difference. Below are quick, practical ideas to help you capture demand from Black Friday through to Christmas.
Customers are already searching for early deals. Launch a pre-Black Friday incentive to bring shoppers in ahead of the rush. Think limited-time discounts or a standout offer that is easy to understand and simple to redeem.
Everyone will be promoting Black Friday offers and offering discounts, so it’s important that you stand out and cut through the noise. Use tactics that create urgency and clarity. Timed promotions across the day, clear price drops, and simple “no-brainer” bundles can help your offer rise above the inbox clutter. Remember, a great first experience can turn one-time shoppers into repeat customers.
With Cyber Monday kicking off December this year, many shoppers switch to Christmas gift mode. Encourage decision-making with convenience boosters such as free gift wrapping, a small freebie on qualifying orders, or a delivery saving for that day only.
Help your team and couriers by smoothing the December spike. Run early-bird promotions that reward earlier purchasing. Staggered incentives in the first half of the month can lift conversion while easing fulfilment pressure.
Peak season moves quickly, but simple, shopper-friendly offers and clear communication will carry you a long way. Plan early, keep your messaging consistent, and make it effortless for customers to buy.
