How is your business preparing for the #BlackFriday weekend? 🛍️🍃 🛒 Black Friday 2023 is this week, and with it comes a frenzy of online shopping! For any business with an online store, this weekend provides a great opportunity to grow and prosper from the shopping habits of your customers. So how can you make sure that your e-commerce website is truly ready for the craziness? 💻 📰 Promote your products and offers! - Use social media promotion to your advantage. Reaching a target audience has never been so important (or competitive) and getting the word out is the only way customers can find out about your store. Investing in Google Ads is also a great option for those wanting to grab visitors through the search engines. 📈 Manage your inventory - Make sure that any information about your products is accurate and up-to-date. This includes pricing, descriptions and stock availability. Drawing visitors to your website won't help if they're not clear on what it is they're buying. 🖼️ Use good quality imagery - Don't let blurry pictures and missing item signs affect your online sales. Choose clear, relevant and eye-catching product images throughout your website to attract customers. Are you a fan of the Black Friday sales?

A RECORD-SETTING WEEKEND 🤩 🤑 Black Friday weekend is the largest shopping weekend in the calendar year, but unfortunately that's not always the case with small to medium-sized businesses. Larger companies with larger budgets tend to out-position their smaller competitors. This is why it's crucially important to work with an agency that has a track record. We only had 1 week to prepare them for BFCM weekend and we believe the results speak for themselves. This client produces and sells chocolate that packs a caffeinated punch. Many of their products have the equivalent of ½ cup of coffee in a small, delicious bite. They carry multiple different varieties of chocolate. From different flavors to different types of product. They decided to partner with my company, Handshake Digital, when they were ready to get serious about scaling their direct-to-consumer portion of their business. They have built their business primarily via the wholesale market. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically shifted this business approach. They could no longer rely on corporate offices and universities to order large quantities of their products since everything moved remote. Their Black Friday / Cyber Monday goals were big and they weren’t sure if there was any way they could hit them. The goal? A $10,000 weekend. A “normal” weekend for them had averaged between $2,000-$3,000 for the life of their d2c online store. They had reached out to us and set a $10,000 weekend target. 5X their normal average. We love being aggressive, so with just days to spare ahead of the popular shopping weekend, our team got busy. According to their Shopify data, BFCM weekend netted them $25K in total sales. More than 10X their average weekend and eclipsing their $10K target. With BFCM weekend coming approaching quickly, is your business in a prime position to leverage the increase in consumer purchasing or is your plan just to sit there and do what you've been doing? #bfcm #blackfriday #marketing #emailmarketing #klaviyo #shopify

How was your shopping spree of #blackfriday & #cybermonday this year? Still scrapping a few more coins to buy something you actually don't need? 😅 Well, each makes their own choices, and I won't judge you for that. What I will judge you for is how you use the #emailmarketing channel to promote your special offers. These are just a few email marketing mistakes I've seen a few brands make that landed on my personal email address. Maybe you can use this to learn how you can do better. Or not! 😂 Besides the mistakes highlighted in this document, I would say that the biggest misconception people/brands have when it comes to these special shopping seasons is that they see it as a standalone one-off tactic. If you have some impact with your email blasts these days, imagine what you would have if you had a real long-term strategy in place and you were preparing your audience for these few days. 🙌 If you don't want to make the same mistake for next year, get in touch. I would love to help you out. Have a great week, and... shopping. #marketingautomation #mistakes
