The holidays
hit different
in 2024
Here’s a tech-savvy to-do list to help you hack the holidays and stay ahead of what your customers want.
Cash in on on e-commerce with your pre-holiday to-do list
Go where your customers go
Instagram. TikTok. Etsy. Make it easy to buy your products on the platforms people hit up most. That means making sure everything you post is shoppable. Add direct links to products in your posts. And run ads on those sites. Because if potential customers are there, you have to be, too.
Find your holiday internet plan
Meet, greet and beat the holiday rush with fast, reliable Verizon Business Internet—starting at $39.99/mo when paired with a Business Unlimited smartphone plan. Terms apply.*
Make Your Social Shareable
Sure, there's the latest dance fad. But more and more, social media platforms are used as search engines. Help people find your content by personalizing it with relevant, trending hashtags. Think of all the ways your customers might look for your products and see if you can add those keywords and phrases to any descriptions you use.
Make your content shine
Update product descriptions and images to highlight holiday themes and post only high-resolution images and videos. Don’t forget to make sure your language is optimized for search engines.
Get ready for questions
Use live chat or chatbots, drop into DMs, or even post responses right in comment threads to connect with customers and give them the answers they need quickly.
Be mobile-first,
for real this time
For years you’ve been urged to think mobile-first. But have you actually done it? With mobile sales on the rise, now’s the time to invest in ultra-responsive website design so that mobile users can effortlessly browse and buy from anywhere.
Finally: Beat the crowd
It pays to start early—and to do a little research early, too. If you have your own business data from previous years, look for any patterns. You can also search for industry trends and prior years’ data. Finally, review last year’s customer feedback—it could help you plan promos and fine-tune your holiday messaging.
For many customers, it’s never too early to start shopping
