Black Friday Strategy - Top Tips From Terri Irvin

Black Friday is now the second biggest retail day of the year. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay. This is a great way to engage with customers and really showcase the amazing retail opportunities you have on offer and pick up a few new clients. If you want to run a black friday offering but not sure where to start... these top tips will ensure you retail smart!

• Start by creating hype across all your social media platforms and Websites. Banners and pop ups are a must. It should be the first thing clients land on.

• A countdown works great, it's fun and encourages clients to set a reminder.

• Run a Black Friday preview with potential products that might make the black friday list. I would advise mixing some cult products that don't make the black friday cut but this will keep clients engaged. This is great a few days beforehand. Drop a product/service a day!

• Give benefits of the products, who they are suited for and savings clients could see on the big day.

• Limit the number of products available for the event to encourage clients to act quickly. You could have x amount of vouchers at this price / 5 kits at this price etc.

• Offer gifts with purchase or team two or more products together which can lead to more upselling across your line.

• Create offers for recommending friends so they both benefit

• Ensure your selling platform is working smoothly. Most clients use their mobiles, is your site mobile friendly and easy to navigate the ‘’shop’’ page.
