E-commerce sales revenue for the 2016 holiday season is expected to reach almost $95 billion. While there is no guarantee that these pricing strategies will be repeated for the 2016 holiday shopping season, you now have a view of what you might expect from these retailers in the coming weeks. Now let’s look at a similar date range for this year: August 29, 2016 through November 6, 2016. This post was originally published on the Quad Analytix blog.

*Originally published on the Quad Analytix Blog. FLASH SALE! PRICES SO LOW, WE CAN’T ADVERTISE THEM! With Black Friday and the holiday shopping season fast approaching, promotional copy like the above will soon be splashed across ecommerce sites all over the web. Holiday sales, doorbusters, and loss-leaders will lure customers looking for presents for their loved ones (or maybe themselves), and sales outlets large and small are scrambling to get an edge on their competitors.

*Originally published on the Quad Analytix Blog. Resellers often want to offer products at competitive prices, and for good reason. Being the low price leader is a quick way to see an uptick in sales. But this can come at a steep cost down the line for their brand value and that of their suppliers. True or not, low cost is often conflated with low quality, and a reseller that focuses on low pricing risks damaging their reputation.

High costs are a problem that plague most advertising campaigns. A lot of the store owners I speak to, tell me that they could easily plow more money into more and bigger ad campaigns. But they don’t because of these high acquisition costs. That’s pretty sobering because they know advertising can grow their business, they’re just not sure on how to take make it work. This is true regardless of platform or campaign type. So Google Shopping suffers from this as well.

When you start working on a new idea, it’s always a ton of fun. You’ve got a clean slate, nothing to hold you back and you’re free to pursue any bold idea you can dream up. This freedom fuels your passion and drives you to make your dreams a reality. Your brain helps with something called confirmation bias. That means that you look for facts that match your ideas or plans, and ignore the ones that don’t. This is a double edged sword.

Data from the Digital Marketing Q3 2016 report by Merkle. Google Shopping currently is the most profitable advertising channel for most of my ecommerce clients. That’s because of two reasons: 1. Low CPCs. Clicks on Google Shopping are a lot cheaper compared to click on text ads. It’s not uncommon to still pay $0.25 for product queries while you would easily pay $0.6 with regular text ads. High Purchase Intent.

If you run your business by the numbers, you need to be able to trust them 100%. But one look at your Google Analytics reports will show you that that’s easier said than done. On any given day you’ll see tens to hundreds of visits from all kinds of strange places. These aren’t real visitors, it’s Google Analytics spam and it has become a big problem over the last few years.

The holiday season always shows up earlier than you’d like it to. All those to-dos that kept getting postponed, till we’re here, on the verge of the busiest time of the year for most stores.

Here are a couple of ideas: A Santa hat on your logo might be funny, but if you’re short on time, focus on things that will move the needle.

Written by Jeff Coull, Director of Professional Services at Retalon. We’ve all heard the retail cliche, “we need to do it differently.” Yet year after year, organizations plan to do the exact same thing as before. Slight hyperbole, I know, but using last year (LY) actuals as your baseline for creating this year (TY) plans is doing just that. Most organizations are creating financial plans that mirror their successes and, more importantly, their failures from the prior year.

Back when I had a “real job” I refused to go to any store on a major holiday! It’s just not right to make people work when they should be with their families. It’s un-American & anti family.

They also will even scan your phone for refills that are $1.25 for a very large.
