\u201cThe most wonderful time of the year<\/em>\u201d – certainly, for many retailers and brands, it is the most profitable<\/strong> time of the year, accounting for up to 30% of annual sales revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the peak season used to kick off with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year, 68% of consumers are planning to do their holiday and gift shopping before the traditional holiday season<\/a> starts, which essentially means that peak has officially already begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), holiday spending is expected to grow this year, up between 2.5% and 3.5% over last year<\/a>. And with shoppers increasingly spending their holiday budgets online, eCommerce sales are expected to be a primary contributor to overall retail sales growth. Adobe forecasts consumers will spend a record $241 billion online during the 2024 holidays, up 8.4% from 2023.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holiday season brings increased competition among retailers as well as shifting consumer behaviors. This is the time of gift-giving and hosting and dedicated holiday budgets, and as such, the consumer decision-making process is slightly different, calling for a targeted eCommerce<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we will take a look at the consumer decision-making process and provide actionable recommendations for how to maximize eCommerce sales during this peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Consumer Buying Decision Process During the Holiday Season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important for any business to understand the consumer decision-making process in order to develop and optimize acquisition, sales and retention strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the holiday season, each stage of the process is amplified due to heightened emotional, social, and financial pressures, as well as time constraints. Understanding the stages of the decision-making process allows you to craft more effective holiday eCommerce strategies by aligning efforts for each stage of the consumer journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of the five stages of the consumer decision-making process and holiday-specific factors: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Problem Recognition (awareness)<\/strong>: Consumers recognize a need or want. During the holidays, this stage is often triggered by gift-giving, hosting or taking advantage of seasonal promotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Information Search (research)<\/strong>: Shoppers look for product options and compare alternatives. Holiday shoppers tend to conduct more thorough searches, especially online, comparing prices, reading reviews, and seeking deals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Evaluation of Alternatives (comparison)<\/strong>: Shoppers compare product options to make the right choice. During the holidays, this evaluation is more intense due to a sense of urgency, pressure to make the right decision and the overwhelming number of promotional offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Purchase Decision (conversion)<\/strong>: Shoppers decide to buy a product. The decision-making process is often quicker during the holidays, driven by time constraints, limited-time offers, and product scarcity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Post-Purchase Behavior (re-purchase)<\/strong>: After making a purchase, consumers evaluate their satisfaction – whether they will recommend the product or brand to others, whether they would buy again, and what feedback they would give.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Crafting a Winning eCommerce Strategy for the Peak Season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When planning and optimizing for the holiday peak shopping season, the first step is to make sure that the operational foundation is in place. That includes optimizing inventory and supply chain and logistics, ensuring that site speed and load capacity are optimized to support increased traffic, and adding additional customer service capacity to handle increased volumes of inquiries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The beauty of eCommerce is that it allows you to review data from previous peak seasons to understand customer behaviors and trends to help inform and craft your strategy. You can also more easily use customer data to create targeted segments and tailor specific offers and messaging to boost conversions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the peak shopping season may have already started for some, there are still things you can do to make the most of this high-traffic period. In the following, we will outline seven strategies for boosting peak performance with each of the five key stages of the decision-making process in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Use Emotional Appeal and Festive Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Emotional triggers and festive themes can significantly enhance eCommerce experiences, evoking feelings of joy, nostalgia, and urgency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Festive themes, such as holiday colors, seasonal imagery and messaging, create a sense of excitement and connection to holiday traditions, making shopping feel more personal and meaningful. Retailers and brands can add seasonal messaging to site elements such as social proof messaging<\/a>.  In addition to resonating with shoppers, these themed messages help retailers deliver more dynamic experiences that capture shopper attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Triggers like limited-time offers or gift suggestions tap into urgency and the desire to give. These triggers help shoppers decide what to give and encourage quicker purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By aligning visuals and messages with positive emotions associated with the season, brands and retailers can foster a welcoming atmosphere that resonates with customers, leading to more delightful shopping experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Create Compelling Promotions and Offers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Over the years, the holiday season has become synonymous with promotions and discounted deals. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, economic downturn and cost-of-living crisis, customers’ expectations for seasonal discounts have only intensified. A recent study revealed that 70% of consumers ranked price range as the biggest factor influencing their purchase decision.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While many retailers choose to offer blanket discounts during this time to attract customers and increase sales, there are ways to create compelling promotions and offers that stand out without discounting the entire product assortment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Time-limited discounts such as flash sales, limited-time offers and countdowns can create urgency and boost sales during this busy season. Retailers can also offer holiday bundles that maintain the average order value<\/a> while giving customers a higher perceived value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Loyalty programs can be used to reward returning customers with early access, exclusive discounts, or points multipliers during peak periods specifically to drive conversions and sales. At the purchase decision stage, retailers can leverage threshold messaging discounts to upsell and increase order value or nudge shoppers to complete a purchase with a promotional offer. And offer incentives to reduce cart abandonment rates<\/a>, such as free shipping or further discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Build Trust and Shopper Confidence with Social Proof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the holiday season, consumers often rely on the buying behaviors and experiences of others, especially when overwhelmed by numerous options, unfamiliarity with certain product categories on wish lists, the added pressure of giving the \u201cright\u201d gift, not to mention time constraints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Leveraging real-time online data, social proof messaging<\/a> helps shoppers make more informed decisions and provides a sense of urgency by showcasing popular and trending products based on how many people viewed, liked, added to cart or bought a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Online product reviews<\/a> help shoppers evaluate product options and feel more confident that they are making the right gift purchase decisions. By combining social proof with review data, retailers can elevate relevant insights such as fit advice and quality and amplify the effectiveness of product reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Supercharging traditional badge messaging, attribute messaging<\/a>, highlights relevant product features, helping shoppers find the right products and make more informed decisions. Integrating social proof messaging into your peak strategy<\/a> will lead to significant conversion rate<\/a> uplifts and increased sales revenue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    4. Optimize the Mobile Shopping Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the 2023 holiday season, mobile spending overtook desktop spending for a short period. This year, mobile is expected to be even more instrumental in driving eCommerce sales. According to Adobe, overall mobile revenue share will hit a record 53.2% of online shopping and account for $128 billion<\/a> during the 2024 peak shopping period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With more and more consumers relying on their mobile devices to both research and complete their holiday purchases, it is paramount to ensure that your website is fully mobile-optimized. A poor mobile experience will lead to increased bounce rates<\/a>, lost sales and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can ensure that your site is mobile-friendly and responsive by optimizing page load speeds, simplifying the checkout process, enabling convenient mobile payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, ensuring that navigation is intuitive and using push notifications for special offers to target mobile users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Retailers can also leverage SMS and popular mobile messaging applications such as WhatsApp for marketing, shopping assistance and customer service to make the shopping experience as seamless and convenient as possible for the ever-increasing number of mobile shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    5. Offer Free and Fast Shipping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When it comes to holiday shopping, delivery times and shipping costs play a major role during the eCommerce decision-making process. Shopping for loved ones and hosting during the holidays can be stressful enough without worrying about timely delivery of gifts and hosting essentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to high shopping volumes during this busy season, lead times are often longer than usual, and it is, therefore, critical to optimize fulfilment processes, partner with reliable shipping partners and deliver upfront communication to customers about order deadlines and delivery expectations. By offering next-day or same-day delivery, retailers can appeal to last-minute shoppers who are willing to pay extra to ensure that their gifts arrive on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shipping fees also have a significant impact on the eCommerce decision-making process during the holidays. According to one survey, free shipping was more important to shopping decisions than fast shipping – the survey found that free shipping was very or extremely important to 65% of respondents <\/a>when making purchases for the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While offering free shipping on all orders is not feasible for many retailers and brands, an alternative tactic is to offer free shipping as a promotion or with set thresholds to help increase conversions. Regardless of your approach, it is important to be transparent about shipping costs, as high hidden fees are more likely to lead to cart abandonment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    6. Create a Sense of Community and Giving Back<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the peak season, many consumers feel a strong sense of community and social responsibility. Brands and retailers that genuinely align themselves with charitable causes or promote sustainability often resonate more with shoppers, and these positive associations can influence their purchase decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When US outdoor retailer REI Co-op<\/a> in 2022 announced that it would close its 190 stores, fulfilment centres, call centres and headquarters on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and give all 15,000 employees the time off, it made waves in the industry.  This yearly initiative is part of a movement that the company calls \u201copt outside\u201d and has created a lot of goodwill, brand awareness and loyalty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Retailers and brands can stand out by promoting causes that matter to their target audiences. For instance, if sustainability is important to your customers, offering eco-friendly products can positively impact a consumer\u2019s decision to purchase. You can amplify your efforts and guide shoppers to the right products by highlighting eco-friendly product features with attribute messaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s Not Too Late to Optimize your Peak eCommerce Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    During the holiday season, there is a significant surge in shopping activity as consumers look for gifts, decorations, hosting essentials, and other seasonal items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Holiday shopping tends to be more emotional and stressful than shopping during other times of the year,  and therefore the consumer decision-making process, customer journey, and factors that influence shopping behaviors change accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Retailers and brands must meet the unique needs of shoppers with eCommerce strategies and tailored messaging, promotions, product offerings and user experiences that align to every stage of the holiday decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By leveraging social proof and helping shoppers make better holiday shopping decisions, retailers and brands like Debenhams<\/a>, Fabletics<\/a> and Steve Madden<\/a>, deliver relevant customer experiences and maximize revenue during the critical peak trading season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
