According to SaleCycle here, in 2021, UK consumers spent a total of £9.42billion over the course of the Black Friday weekend, 61.49% of which was accounted for by online sales.
Competition to gain customers’ attention is fierce. That’s why it’s important to plant the seed weeks in advance. With Black Friday only a few weeks away, we suggest you start teasing upcoming promotions sooner rather than later.
There are many ways to approach this, including:
Engage your audience by posting a daily countdown on social media.
Remember, your customers are going to be bombarded with offers on the big day. The most important thing you can do to increase your eCommerce sales during the period is by evoking excitement and anticipation in your target audience ahead of time.
Avoid disappointment by replenishing your stock before the weekend begins.

If offering drastic discounts isn’t something your business can afford to do right now, you can still participate in the Black Friday madness by promoting limited edition bundles.
Does maximising sales by offering customers limited edition bundles sound like a good idea, but you don’t have the warehouse space or labour force to make it happen? Don’t panic, we can help. At JEM Marketing, we can provide bespoke assembly and kitting services, tailored to your needs. Click Here to find out more.
As humans, we hate to think we’re missing out on something big.
Create a sense of urgency by running advertisement campaigns that feature phrases like ‘while stocks last’, ‘limited time deal’ and ‘don’t miss out’.
When considering how your business can increase eCommerce sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s important to start by looking at what your competitors are up to.
Browse your competitor’s websites and social media accounts and note their chosen marketing strategy.
Doing this will allow you to gain a greater understanding of how you can make yourself stand out from the crowd.
In recent years, the number of shoppers willing to pay more for sustainable products has increased significantly. In a study conducted by the Chartered Institute of Marketing here, 30% of respondents said they would avoid repurchasing from an online store if the product arrived with excess packaging.
As consumers become more conscious of their impact on the environment, businesses need to follow suit.
When considering how to increase e-commerce sales this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, evaluate what you can do to ensure you’re promoting sustainable practices.
At JEM Marketing & Fulfilment Services Ltd., we strive to reduce our impact on the environment by reusing packaging where possible. Find out more about our sustainable fulfilment services by getting in touch today.
Attract thrill-seekers by creating enticing mystery boxes. Filled with a variety of items, the contents of each parcel remain a secret to the buyer until un-boxed.
If you’ve got a large amount of surplus stock lying around and want to use it to maximise sales, creating high-value mystery boxes could elevate your brand to a whole new level this Black Friday.
Reminding your customers that the bargains don’t have to stop when the Black Friday weekend ends is a great way to keep them coming back for more.
Maximise sales revenue by offering visitors to your site discount codes to use before 25th December.
This will encourage customers to revisit your site during the month of December, using your discount code to purchase presents for friends and family.
With Royal Mail planning to strike over the festive period, you might still be feeling disheartened about your ability to maximise sales this year.
