Black Friday numbers 2023
It’s game time in ECOM💪, and I assume that a lot of you are working hard on maximizing performance, especially during the BFCM push and gifting season.
It has been the same for me and the consulting clients I work with.
For the last couple of weeks, we have been:
– analyzing the previous data
– looking at the inspiration
– optimizing our approach
– upgrading our strategy
– setting up the optimal marketing mix
– taking care of our mental state
– aligning the team
– producing creatives
– creating results
– & more
I am super grateful to have a chance to work with such great teams as they also challenge me to become a better version of myself and upgrade my knowledge.
🙏 THANK YOU ALL 🙏

Results happen over time, not overnight.

DECEMBER GROWTH PATH
I hope your BFCM was/is amazing and you are ready for the December growth journey.
I also have a surprise for you! 🎁
Here are some of my practical tips proven to work for me over and over during the gifting season 🎅🏻:
1) Gifting messaging
Now is the time to start addressing the gifting marketing angle.
2) Bundles
Combine a winning hero product that everyone wants with high-margin products to introduce exclusive bundles for the gifting period.
3) Gift guides
Many people struggle with finding the right gift, which is why gift guides for him, her, and their kids are the go-to.
4) Gift cards
This untapped opportunity for many businesses to scale acquisition and retention. You can also play with special offers for your customers if they buy gift cards.
5) Clear communication for shipping
Clear communication about the shipping is crucial and can be used as a competitive advantage with fast shipping.
6) Expand your targeting
With the gifting season, open up your targeting with technical setup and creatives to promote ideas for perfect gifts.
7) Exclusive limited-time offers
Using limited time for exclusive offers like available only today, or we only have 500 of this in stock and we
8) Themed products
Having a limited edition collection for Christmas has been a winner for businesses that have a high retention rate.
9) High AOV offer
Buy x, get Y is a great example because people are willing to spend more during the gifting season.
💡 BONUS IDEAS 💡
here are some extra ideas to boost the performance:
– gifting paper as an upsell
– who is it for communication
– Christmas calendar
– Christmas content shooting for best-performers
I have seen each of these significantly change the results, and I am already implementing them this year with the ECOM brands I am working with.
This is it for this week.
