INSIGHTS
1. Getting data out of “silos”
“This helps us provide more focus on the in-store
opportunities. Instead of asking ‘How can we grow
online sales?’ we focus on ‘How can we drive overall
sales, regardless of where the transaction occurs?’”

WHAT DID ELITE MARKETERS DO THIS
HOLIDAY SEASON?
Plan the promotional schedule early
AT LEAST 3 MONTHS IN ADVANCE
Consumers think about shopping as early as Halloween. Your
messaging should be tailored to catch them in the pre-holiday
shopping mindset
Promotions and deals are not limited to only Friday and Monday
People typically start shopping right after the holidays, so start your
promotions at least 7 - 10 days before or better yet start right after
halloween.
Add Specific Email Capture for BF / CM Access
“GET ACCESS” TO BLACK FRIDAY AND CYBER MONDAY DEALS
Ask people to opt-in to email even if they are already a on your list.
They are showing a sign of commitment.
Have a bit more assertive email capture strategy.
Create hype and urgency. Tell the people on the email list that they’ll
get an email with a countdown to access the BF / CM deals
Avoid Daily Deals
BECAUSE THEY NEVER WORK
You’re wasting valuable online real estate space on both your email and
your website for deals that may be only relevant to <10% of your
audience.
It takes a ton of time to put together with no real return
Try Sitewide Sales with a Coupon Code
CAST A WIDE NET
Your sale can either be a specific $ amount or a %. The 2nd option is
preferable. You can include exceptions.
People will naturally add more to cart during this period so don’t limit
their choices
Let your audience know about the sale (Tip: don’t just put it on your
homepage)
Structure Deals for Dual Benefits
GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Setup tiered deals based on your average order value (Tip: Best
practice is 3 tiers)
Use different deals for customers and prospects
This raises both conversion rates and average order value
HOW DO YOU
RECOVER IN Q1 2015?
Get Creative with the “Holidays”
WHO SAYS CYBER MONDAY AND BLACK FRIDAY GET ALL THE FUN?
Don’t wait until the Q4 holidays to offer your best deals. We thought of
a few below to get you started this quarter.
Make your customers’ shopping experience fun through games. Create
scavenger hunts that unlock mystery deals throughout the site (Tips:
Hide codes around the site--in product descriptions, names, images,
set magical thresholds to see the next level)
Gets visitors to look at a lot of pages, including products they would
have skipped otherwise. Also preps them for later sales.
Make CRO a priority in 2015
