The noise of 2022\u2019s Black Friday promotions has been more intense than ever with early and deep discounting as retailers and brands have sought to win a more reluctant consumer spend amongst the cost-of-living crisis and soaring inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday gone, comes the post-match analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how did your business fare? Did your promotions and messages convince customers to spend or did they got lost amongst the noise, leaving you wondering how you can do better next time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Taggstar we believe our real-time social proof messaging provides that extra point of difference to be noticed, even when everyone around you is on promotion. We do that by offering the extra help and buying assistance a customer needs to have more confidence in their purchase than just a knee-jerk reaction to a slashed price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We appreciate it\u2019s not easy to stand out. There are few promotional activities more intense than Black Friday and Cyber Monday as retailers and brands fight tooth and nail for holiday spend. It means that sales messages can get a little lost, overwhelmed by headline discounts designed to attract customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sales event has grown from a US tradition celebrating Thanksgiving into a global promotional phenomenon and although we may not see the frenzied buying behaviors witnessed when Black Friday first spread outside the US, it still remains an important part of a retailer\u2019s promotional calendar and a consumer\u2019s holiday shopping plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-event one survey suggested that more than half (54%) of UK and US consumers<\/a> planned to shop this Black Friday, compared to 42% last year, with many expecting discounts of 50% and above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US consumers spent a record $9.12 billion<\/a> shopping online during Black Friday, with sales up 2.3% year on year, according to Adobe. But it came with a price with Buy Now Pay Later payments increasing by 78% compared to the previous week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer behavior is changing, however, with consumers becoming more targeted in their buying as they reduce discretionary spend. 60% of consumers shop with an item in mind<\/a> and 85% only purchase items they know they want or need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that while promotions are an important part of a retailer\u2019s armoury, they aren\u2019t the only thing that will help you to win spend. Consumers will be looking for more than just value but to know they have spent their money wisely, rather than simply being seduced by an apparent bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social proof messaging<\/a> can help in this mission to stand out from the crowd and the noise of Black Friday, as well as other busy promotional periods such as Valentine\u2019s Day, Easter or Back to School. It effectively works as an online sales associate, guiding your customers to purchase through inspiration and education around their product choices which helps them to convert to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can highlight bestsellers and trending items, but it can also supplement that with additional real-time data too, so that your customers not only know what the hottest items currently are but also the attributes related to them, such as how they are rated for quality or fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means that consumers are buying based on more than just big discounts, but are also investing in popular, quality products that better suit their needs. That equates to a more profitable sale for the retailer and a customer who truly feels they have bagged a bargain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s how you stand out from the noise and win the sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
