🎄 Don’t Miss Out on Post-Holiday Sales Opportunities! 🎄 Did you know the week after Christmas (Dec. 25–Jan. 1) is the fastest-growing sales period of the holiday season? Shoppers are still in the gifting mindset—often treating themselves—making this a prime time to capture revenue. Here’s how to make the most of it: ✨ Invest in loyalty programs to engage devoted shoppers and boost purchase confidence. ✨ Leverage your app to drive conversions—app users spend 31% more than web-only shoppers. ✨ Use tools like Web to App Connect and Smart Bidding to optimize across platforms. Success story: Adidas saw a 2.4X return on ad spend by combining these strategies last season. Now’s the time to turn end-of-season shoppers into long-term loyal customers. Let’s make it happen! 💪 #Ecommerce #Retail #DigitalMarketing #HolidayShopping #Growth #GoogleAds #SmartBidding

During this early development phase, there was a consideration about what to name this button. The term "Add to Basket" was one of the contenders. The use of "basket" was inspired by the traditional shopping baskets that people use in physical stores to collect items as they shop.

🏬 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥'𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 🏬 Look beneath the headlines about Gen Z "saving malls" (remember, Black Friday data shows a YoY in-store contribution of 0.7%) and I’m hopeful you’ll appreciate a more nuanced transformation. A more fascinating discussion is the evolution of physical retail into a discovery platform and social media contribution rather than purely transaction destination. There is never a “the future of retail”. There are so many facets to the operations, experience etc.; however, an increasing important competency is retailers’ expertise in creating content catalyst opportunities to convert browse-time into shared experiences. This means re-imagining stores not as sales channels, but as content creation hubs where every mirror selfie and try-on video becomes valuable marketing currency. https://lnkd.in/gmchsqN5 #RetailInnovation #FutureOfRetail #RetailStrategy #GenZ #RetailTrends #RetailTransformation
