Overview
With the rise of online shopping, people are more prone to spend their money online than in stores. This trend is what has led to the popularity of Seasonal Offers – Black Friday and Cyber Monday
The whole holiday buying process starts weeks before Seasonal Offers – Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Some sales begin as early as October or November. People buy things at lower prices to get Black Friday discounts when it comes closer or if they want to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals.
Black Friday is traditionally on the day after Thanksgiving, but Cyber Monday was introduced in 2005, so it became a good alternative for those who don’t have time to shop over Thanksgiving weekend or prefer to do their shopping from home.
Seasonal offers are a great way to boost sales and generate revenue for retailers, but managing them can be difficult.
To plan out your seasonal offer, think about your product range and which products have an excellent seasonal aspect or fit with the event, then make a list of all the products that you want to include in your offer. It should consist of items that customers buy for gifts and those they would buy for themselves. Some of these may need to be pre-ordered before Black Friday if there is not enough stock on-site, so it is essential to get this sorted early on so you don’t run out of stock at an inconvenient time.
Use Case
Offering the best deals for seasonal holidays is a common practice for retailers. But it’s not only about the discounts. The timing of these offers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, also plays a vital role in getting more sales during these days.
There are many different ways to approach seasonal offers besides just discounts:
- Introducing new products
- Giving exclusive access to certain products
- Creating campaigns around one product with special offers or events going on around it
