Shopify tip of the week

Keep it simple! The biggest mistakes brands make during BFCM are unclear offers, confusing discounts, and boring deals. Ensure the purchase process is smooth, and consumers see value immediately. Don't overcomplicate it.

This applies to your campaigns and store pages.

This is crucial for small ecommerce teams. You don't need to spend hours creating a complex holiday version of your homepage or holiday pages.

Only a few elements are needed:

1. Fun seasonal headline

2. Clear deal details

3. Great imagery

4. Straightforward CTA

Instead of cluttering a page, strategically use these elements to boost conversions.
