Get Ready for Christmas with Our E-Commerce Solutions

Fay Roe

We are approaching the busiest shopping season. During this time, people are more generous and willing to spend money. This presents a great opportunity for your online business to make a significant profit.


Christmas and the holiday season are usually the best times for retailers to make money. However, Black Friday's growing popularity means that the sales boom now begins earlier. For the consumer, buying online and grabbing a bargain has almost become a sport.


On November 24, 2023, Black Friday is a chance for New Zealand businesses to make lots of sales. It's a big day for retail worldwide, whether you like it or not. So, if you haven’t started preparing for Black Friday deals and the Christmas demand (and tweaked your digital marketing strategy accordingly) you need to get a wriggle on as time is running out.


This time of year is very competitive for advertising, especially PPC Google Ads. Everyone wants a share of the cake. Google ads and Facebook advertising costs more, there’s greater choice for consumers and you have so, so much to do. 



Overwhelm can strike. However, it’s crucial to invest time to review your content marketing and digital strategy. It will generate profit for you over this period, but also lay the foundations for a profitable 2022 too.


Actively communicate your deals

Small businesses need to compete with big brands in offering discounts to consumers. After calculating and preparing deals, it is important to inform people about them. It sounds obvious, but many businesses fail to leverage their digital marketing to its full capacity.


Build excitement for your brand

Countdowns, teasers, and sneak peeks are a great way to build up a sense of excitement and anticipation for your products. To promote your brand on Facebook, use a live session to show your products. This will engage your audience and build social media connections. 


Shine bright among competitors

Your rivals want to attract the same people as you, so it's important to be innovative with your content now. Use SEO content such as videos, images, website content, Instagram ads, and Facebook Ads to make your digital marketing unique.


Harvest valuable data from Instagram and Facebook ads

If you haven’t already got a Facebook Pixel on your website, click here and arrange to get it sorted. Why? Because the Facebook Pixel gives you access to data that you can use to retarget website visitors in the future,


You can target and group them based on age, gender, and location for precise advertising. So, while you pay more for the initial Facebook and Instagram ads over the holiday season, you are harvesting valuable data of an already warm audience to approach in the future.

Looks don’t matter, right? Don’t judge a book by its cover, there’s more than meets the eye, beauty is in the eye of the beholder – there are many commonly used phrases that bestow the virtue of looking beyond the aesthetics. And in many other scenarios we agree, but when it comes to a business website design, none of the above apply. Is it shallow? Possibly. Does it negatively impact your business? Hugely. The world is image and technology obsessed, so how your website looks and functions is a big deal. A dated, clunky, or poorly designed website runs the risk of presenting your business as outdated and behind the times, at worse untrustworthy. If your competitors have sleek, modern, and user-friendly websites while yours feels stuck in the early 2000s, who do you think your audience will choose? The hidden costs of an outdated website An outdated website isn’t just a cosmetic issue. If you are missing the mark on the aesthetics, there are likely functional issues too. This negatively impacts your business in ways you may not even realise. Here’s what a poorly designed website tells your customers: You’re not keeping up with industry trends . If your website looks like it hasn’t been touched in years, visitors may assume your business isn’t evolving either or likely to offer the most up-to-date products or services. You don’t prioritise user experience . A slow, difficult-to-navigate website frustrates users and compels them to click away – life is too short to wait! You lack credibility . A poorly maintained website makes your business appear unreliable, reducing trust in your products or services.  You’re missing out on sales . A confusing, slow, or non-mobile-friendly site prevents potential customers from taking action, leading to lost revenue and reputation. Signs and symptoms you need a new website design If you have a website, especially if you designed it yourself, you may be blind to areas where it can be improved – the attachment to an underperforming DIY website design is both relatable (we’ve all done it) and damaging to your business. However diverse website designs are, they share common signs and symptoms when overdue a website upgrade:
