It’s easy to sell stuff on Black Friday in eCommerce, but it’s harder to make a profit. Find out what not to do and more importantly, a better approach. We teamed up with SBO, Accounts that get digital to help Aussie eCommerce stores make the most out of Black Friday.
Key takeaways (What Not To Do)
- Offer a massive discount because your competitors do is dumb (That’s what over-enthusiastic hipster digital marketers do).
- Not questioning the profit that will be made, and cutting other costs and borrowing money is even dumber (Dull Bean Counting Accounts who aren’t proactive allow this).
- Spending more on advertising for products that make less profit, (just because it’s Black Friday) is for drongos.
- Not having a common goal across all elements of your team (marketing, accounting and inventory) and letting the loudest voice win will lead to disaster.
Key takeaways (What To Do)
- Customers expect a deal on Black Friday, make the offer compelling.
- Don’t sacrifice profit for revenue, unless you have to clear stock really quick.
- Increase your average order value by bundling products together to offer a higher discount
- Build an email list before Black Friday, to save on adspend and focus marketing on email.
