Christmas Ecommerce Tips
Delivery Notice
Make it clear when the last day of ordering is for Christmas delivery. This encourages users to complete their purchases, and avoids disappointment.
Festive Website Theme
Creating a fun, festive website increases engagement and conversions. Bright colours attract attention, and themed backgrounds often mean users spend more time on a particular site.
Landing Page
Create a Christmas themed landing page, where customers can see any special festive offers you may have.
Discount Codes
Using a Christmas discount code gives people a compelling reason to complete a purchase. Display this on your Christmas landing page as well as reminding them on various other pages.
Free Delivery
So, you might think this eats in to your bottom line. However, delivery fees are often the leading cause of drop-offs. Giving free delivery helps conversions, and that means more sales!
Use Bundles and Gift Sets
Gift sets are a great way to increase your margins. Discounted bundles are great gifts for family and friends, and perfect for stockings!
