Over the past year we’ve been providing you with the insight and resources necessary to prepare your business for the busiest shopping season of the year. The major holidays represent only a handful of days out of the year where you can make most of your yearly revenue. I might sound like a broken record now as I continue to emphasize the importance of the these key days, but don’t let my repetitiveness discount the absolute importance of these sale days. Going back to the 2014 season, we’ve been keeping our eyes on what to expect and how to best prepare your eCommerce store.
What we do is important to us, from the quality of support we provide our merchants to the free resources we put out to the global eCommerce community. You may have missed these resources, or are a new visitor to our blog (welcome!), I thought I would make it a little easier for you to find and digest these resources by compiling them into one simple list. Here’s our 4 holiday Resources You Need for Your eCommerce business.
Post-Black Friday Cyber Monday Report
You should start your planning by first looking back to December 2014. Our Director of Customer Insights, Derrick Khoo, not only made a presentation to merchants as part of our eCommerce Toronto Meetup Group but also put together a free downloadable Post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday Report. This report was created to help merchants help gain an inside look into our clients’ performance, and share some lessons for better planning and performance in 2015.

The Ultimate Product Detail Page Design Guide
Early in the year we released one of our most popular resources yet, The Ultimate Guide to Product Detail Page Design.This free eBook is an in-depth look at how product pages work, the features that go into a page, the importance of page design, and strategies implemented by online merchants. Building trust with customers is the crux of your product page, and can be manipulated through your design strategy. This holiday season you should not only be prepared for the influx of visitors to your site but be ready to convert and make a sale, all of which optimizing your product page can help you with. Your product page is the point on your website where visitors become customers! Our free guide includes 70+ examples for your website plus key takeaways, download the guide by clicking below:

In April of this year our Email Marketing Specialist, Ivana Simovic, freaked our subscriber base out by reviewing the best Holiday campaigns from 2014 to help you stock your email marketing toolkit early-on. During the holiday season customers are inundated with hundreds of emails from businesses. What we wanted to help merchants do is stand out in the inbox during this great revenue opportunity.
