7- Customize a fast checkout option.

Online users like two things in particular: simplicity and speed. If a user is a habit of your website, his data will already be registered in your backend. So do not make him enter the same information 1000 times, give him a direct checkout option, after having obtained his consent to the storage of personal data.

8- Surprise with the delivery.

Delivery by Christmas day. Same-day delivery for domestic orders. Delivery with the gift package option. Free delivery for trusted customers. These are all options that can be offered to your users.

9- Increase your investment in advertising.

During the holiday season, everyone is promoting their products online, which is why the CPC (Cost per Click) starts to rise. It’s crucial to increase your budget and split it well between the different channels and Ads formats.

10- Optimize customer support.

Prepare your team for the arrival of more users and therefore probably more questions and interactions via email, Messenger, WhatsApp and web BOT. Establish a Q&A section in advance where you will answer the most common questions from users during this special time of the year. Create email templates ready to be sent in case of general questions and requests for information. Set up a service bot on your website for first user interaction.

What we have mentioned are just a few things you can work on to get your e-commerce ready for the holiday season. Others may apply depending on the product/service you are selling, but we assure you that if you take care of these ten points, your sales will increase.
