Looking Ahead to Q1 2024 Planning

With holiday plans in place, it’s time to strategize taking advantage of the busy season’s sales boost. The attention your brand gets from Black Friday and Cyber Monday could be important to capitalize on and can help your brand create returning customers. Here’s our team’s top tips on how to turn new customers into loyal customers.

Affiliate marketing is a proven strategy in establishing credibility for your brand and creating new customer connections that last. User-generated content, or UGC, is an umbrella term that encapsulates various methods of content creation, both paid and unpaid. Asking your customers to review your product is an easy way to generate content that can then save you time planning entire campaigns from scratch. According to OptiMonk, Blenders Eyewear started using customer reviews in their Facebook Dynamic Product Ads and saw a 38% decrease in cost per acquisition, a 62% increase in return on ad spend, and two times the click-through rate.

Let’s be honest: most shoppers are shopping for gifts for themselves during the holiday season. And in this “treat yourself” culture, it’s safe to send product recommendations to consumers with the assumption it will resonate with the recipient’s personal shopping habits. Consider building a Customer Winback email automation that includes auto-populated product recommendations or tailoring the on-site shopping experience based on a consumer profile that’s connected to a previous shopper or a shopper who abandoned their cart.
