Only half of leading U.S. retailers offer gift cards, according to MarketWatch, despite their popularity. And big companies such as\u00a0 Target and Amazon kicked off holiday deals in October.<\/p>\n<p>Still, last-minute efforts can help finish the season with a bang. And many are simple and quick. Here are 10 ways to boost revenue before time runs out.<\/p>\n<h3>10 Revenue Boosters<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Entice loyal customers to help. <\/strong>Dedicated customers want you to succeed. They also love getting something at a steep discount or free. If you can track referrals, offer customers special coupons, products, or gift cards for sending buyers your way. If not, run a hashtag campaign on social media wherein shoppers post photos or videos using your items. The goal is to generate interest in your store.<\/p>\n<p>Also, encourage buyers to leave product reviews, a primary conversion driver for ecommerce sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get staff to pitch in. <\/strong>Your employees are likely active on social media. Consumers appreciate meeting staff and hearing about the company&#8217;s mission and products. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/behind-the-scenes-content-is-authentic-storytelling\">introduce your employees<\/a> on company social accounts and enlist them to spread the word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract with mid-level influencers. <\/strong>Sponsored content \u2014 videos, articles, social media posts \u2014 can drive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/influencer-marketing-part-8-analyzing-performance\">lucrative traffic<\/a> to your store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leverage relevant news. <\/strong>Pay attention to current events, celebrity goings-on, and viral social media posts that speak to your audience. Use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/5-content-marketing-ideas-for-december\">trending news<\/a> to promote your products and flash sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a smart banner to promote discounts, countdowns, and near sell-outs. <\/strong>Typically positioned at the top of a page, smart banners adjust to the browser&#8217;s width and are an ideal announcement method. Text with minimal icons and a simple call to action work best.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1514690\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1514690\" class=\"wp-image-1514690 size-large\" title=\"Smart Bar hyping current sale\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-570x314.jpg\" alt=\"Smart Bar hyping current sale\" width=\"570\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-570x314.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-1536x846.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar-500x275.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pec-bathbodyworks-smartbar.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1514690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bath &amp; Body Works encourages shoppers to unlock a special offer.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t overcomplicate email marketing<\/strong>. Simplify your messaging on marketing emails for the balance of the season. Focus on subject lines, preheaders, hero images, and calls to action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Configure cart abandonment recovery emails. <\/strong>Upwards of 70% of U.S. shoppers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/remove-these-distractions-to-lower-cart-abandons\">abandon their carts<\/a>. Even the briefest email message can recover some sales \u2014 a discount closes even more. Consider a third-party tool if your shopping cart doesn&#8217;t have this crucial recovery tactic built in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promote last-minute gifts<\/strong>. Plenty of people procrastinate. Now&#8217;s the time to think about awesome gifts you can pack and ship quickly. Promote these in emails and social media with terms like &#8220;Ships today&#8221; and &#8220;Get it by\u2026.&#8221; And don&#8217;t forget e-gift cards, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Display a countdown timer. <\/strong>Inform shoppers of sales and order cutoff dates. In the final days, be clear about expedited shipping methods to receive gifts in time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turn off (or make optional) non-essential checkout fields. <\/strong>Don&#8217;t leave shoppers stuck at the finish line. Ask only what you need to process the order.<\/p>\n<h3>Minimal Effort<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the industry and audience, plenty of quick actions can amp up sales in the coming weeks. Adopt features and functionality that require minimal effort. Save the heavy lifting for next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plenty of late-season marketing and selling tactics can boost holiday ecommerce revenue.
