For many businesses - particularly in the B2C space - Black Friday and Cyber Monday can make-or-break your year.
Yep, it’s that big a deal.
The reason is simple:
As online shopping has become second-nature to most consumers, Black-Friday online sales have skyrocketed over the past decade 🚀
And with the Covid-19 pandemic further accelerating the adoption of e-commerce, this trend is only set to continue...
In the midst of the global outbreak, many physical stores are sensibly moving Black Friday online. This will provide an additional boost in online Black Friday traffic - and a lot of potential revenue for e-commerce businesses of any size.
So if you’re not taking full advantage of this huge promotion opportunity, it’s no exaggeration to say you’re missing out on your biggest pay-day of the year…
...which is why we’ve put together our 7 tips and templates to turbocharge your Black Friday & Cyber Monday promotions.
Let’s dive straight in…
First up, to get the most out of your Black Friday / Cyber Monday promotion, it’s a good idea to build your email list leading up to the event.
The easiest way to do this is to run a simple campaign in the week before, where visitors can opt-in for exclusive Black Friday deals in the coming week.
Building a list of interested bargain-hunters will boost your sales in a number of ways:
Another effective way to build a targeted list of potential buyers is by running Black Friday Sweepstakes.
Here’s a simple formula you can follow:
Your email subscribers are among your best sales leads.
These folk have proactively asked to be contacted by you with special offers; and as such, they deserve to be rewarded for their loyalty...
So to maximise your conversions from your list, we recommend you use Black Friday to send targeted exclusive offers. These could include perks like Black Friday sneak peeks (insight into items that’ll be available and on sale, or the ability to reserve an item ahead of time), additional discounts (take another 10% off for being a member), or early bird shopping, (allow customers to come in 30 mins before everyone else).
Urgency is one of the most powerful conversion triggers there is; when we think something is about to go away, we’re forced to act.
To take advantage of this impulse, run “flash sales” throughout the Black Friday weekend: rotate a number of products on discount for a limited number of hours at a time.
For maximum impact, use a full-screen takeover to alert your visitors of the current items on discount when they land on the page - along with a countdown timer to let them know how long they have to take advantage of the deal.
Another fun way to boost your sales is via gamification.
One simple way to gamify your promotion is via a coupon “lucky dip”: offer your visitors a number of options - and a prize (coupon code) on the next step.
By gamifying the distribution of your Black Friday discounts, your campaign will be more engaging and memorable. And as a result, your visitors will be more likely to take action.
Just as a good salesperson adapts their sales pitch to respond to their prospects body language, if you dynamically respond to your visitors browsing behavior, they’re more likely to become customers.
A great way to do this is with contextual offers...
A contextual offer is a popup that’s triggered when your visitor clicks or hovers over a specific image, button or text on your webpage.
As contextual pop-ups deliver your offer in response to your visitors’ behaviour, they are more timely and relevant. As such, it’s more likely to convert...
Another great way to respond to your visitors’ browsing behaviour is via scroll boxes - i.e., slide-ins that display when your visitors scroll to a certain point on your page.
Use scroll boxes and other types of popups to show visitors other offers that may be of interest, and thereby boost your average basket value.
Pro Tip: Set your scroll-boxes to appear in the corner of the page – so your visitors can continue to read your site without having to close them down. This will boost your conversions further.
Our bonus tip for boosting your Black Friday success is to use exit offers to turn your abandoning visitors into leads and customers.
On average, 2 of every 3 visitors to your site leaves without taking any action…
So converting just a small fraction of these people could make a huge difference to your bottom line.
Adding an exit-intent popup to your website is one of the most effective ways to prevent website abandonment.
This is because exit-intent popups create a “pattern interrupt” which forces abandoning visitors to rethink their decision to leave your site…
...giving you a free second shot at converting them 😎
In summary: try to incorporate fun, creativity, and gamification in your marketing to make it stand out from the crowd - and of course leverage scarcity and urgency to make sure your prospects pull the trigger…
I hope you found some quick wins you can apply to your Black Friday & Cyber Monday promotions this year. Happy converting!
