Create Events

Another good option is holiday flash sales. Everyone’s going to be looking for deals and offering your product at a reduced price for a short period of time is a great way to open your brand up to new people. If you can find a way to make your product holiday themed, even better!

Don’t be afraid to tailor your sales and advertising to the fit the season.

Mobile is A Must

An important thing for any cloud based ecommerce platform is to have your store available on mobile. During a busy season, this is an absolute necessity! People are trying to fit as many things into the day as possible so if they’re on their phone trying to buy your product and your site isn’t working, they’ll move on to something else. Make sure everyone can access those great flash sales and bundle offers you’ve got for them. In other words: Go mobile or go home!

One last tip for optimizing your holiday sales is to pay attention to SEO changes. Assemble holiday-themed content around specific keywords for your site. Write a blog about staying health conscious during the party season, share easy recipes for a lighter holiday meal or make a list of tips people can follow to keep up their New Year’s resolutions. Whatever you’ve got to offer, get that on your site and plug your product right alongside.
