What Is Cyber Monday?
Close on the heels of Black Friday (the largest
shopping day in the U.S.), Cyber Monday is considered the biggest online
shopping day of the year and it lands on Monday, December 2nd this
year. Cyber Monday's popularity increased so much in recent years that
many businesses have decided to extend it into Cyber Week by offering
deals, events, and promotions for at least 5 full business days.
8 Tips to Get Ready for Cyber Monday
- Establish what deals you will have and set a specific goal. For
example, if you know for every 100 views of one article that you sell an
average of 10 items and your goal for Cyber Monday is to sell 100
items, then your goal is to have 1,000 targeted views.
- Determine your message by differentiating yourself from the crowd.
Consider your unique value proposition (what makes your offer honestly
the best) and how you can present it in an engaging, personable way to
your audience.
- Spread the word by considering how you will inform your current and
prospective audience, such as emails, blogs, tweets, social media
updates, pins, etc.
- Do not SPAM your audience. Find balance by ensuring you're providing
quality, relevant, and valuable information that is welcome.
- Be smart and specific about your word choice. For example, "great
deals" or "holiday sale" may not have as much impact as "Cyber Monday
Deals," "Cyber Monday Specials," or "Cyber Week Deals."
- Use eye-catching, attractive titles to pull readers in and avoid
gimmicky titles like "Don't Miss Your Chance!" or "You'll Wish You
Didn't Miss This Opportunity!"
- Check, double check, and triple check to ensure you have a great call-to-action that clearly compels your visitor to act.
- Track your data using your goals as a guide. Knowing article views,
bounce rates, social media engagement stats, peak traffic times,
audience demographics, and more can help you measure your success and
tweak your strategy for next year.
