The Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) sale is the best way to boost your year-end sales figures.

Create a dedicated page and introduce a new range of products at discounted prices for a limited time, along with discounts on existing products to keep the sale exciting. Be sure to send an email at least 7 days before the BFCM newsletter, explaining what to expect during the sale. Don’t forget to optimize the page for speed and mobile responsiveness. And if you’re starting early, target BFCM keywords around your brand or product - it can help even bring down the cost of acquisition on ad campaigns!

There are 2 keys to having an amazing BFCM: Segmentation and Omnichannel experiences.

Separating your user list into segments of customers allows you to give the appropriate experience to that group of customers based on their past behavior. For example, your VIP customers should get a much different experience than customers who have only purchased from you once. By categorizing this list and segmenting appropriately, you can create much more targeted, personalized messages, which in turn will perform much better. Once you have your segments figured out, the next key is to create omnichannel experiences for these segments. Send your segments an email, but then follow it up with an SMS as well as a piece of physical mail that lands in their mailbox. Using a product like IgnitePOST, you can actually start off by sending your segment a handwritten note that arrives in their mailbox and then follow it up with an email and text message. This combination produces results that are 10X better than the results you get if you just use email alone.

Reward programs tend to yield better results than immediate discounts. Rewards ensure that customers are incentivized to return and use the credits/cashbacks they've earned.

Implementing a rewards and referral program can significantly boost sales. It's also essential to effectively communicate the details about the rewards ahead of BFCM.This allows customers to plan ahead and create a wishlist accordingly. Additionally, inform customers about their earned credits via text messages, emails, or pop-up notifications. Merchants can also reward loyal customers with bonus credits before the sale day to nudge them to buy during BFCM.
