Increase Your Holiday Season Sales

Plan and Sell Early – After the long holiday stretch of All Saints Day – All Souls Day, the holiday season kicks in. So this year, the Magic Date is November 5, 2007. Start doubling up you sales effort around this time, couple with your offers or promos. This holiday shipping season could stretch up to the later days of January.
Give-Aways and Gifts – As much as possible, focus on items that are suited for gifts, even company and corporate give-aways. You don’t want spending all your time and effort selling a P10,000,000 building during this time. To add, why not offer free gift wrapping promo on your items for sale.
Check Your Stocks – Be sure to have stocks of hot items during the Holiday Shopping Season. Just when your items are selling like hot cakes in mid-November, you can’t allow a zero inventory around that time. To add, it is not easy refilling up your inventory during this time when your suppliers are busy fulfilling orders of other sellers like you.
FREE Shipping FREE Shipping – It’s time to play Santa. No doubt, free shipping drives sales. One trick here is, if you can still lower the price of a certain product for like P200, hold it. Just declare a free shipping promo for that particular item. Or, at the very least, you could also offer a discounted shipping rate. Offer combined shipping too for multiple orders.
