Remember to optimize your page for mobiles. Recalls that Cyber Monday 2020 was the biggest online sales day in U.S. history: $11.4 billion, and half of them were purchases made from mobile devices. This should even increase more this year.

If you have no subscribers yet, start building a base because reaching them with emails or SMS can help you drive them to new products or promotions – increasing engagement.

For your current subscribers, design an email strategy for Cyber Monday to start getting in front of customers and getting them ready for all your promotions and discounts. Using a single SMS communication for this date with a specific promotion can be very effective. Including a countdown can make customers even more excited and it is easy to remember for them, the day of the promotion.

Abandoned cart

There is around a 70% of cart abandonment average and working on Cyber Monday promotions to ensure great results can be frustrating. In order to flip the situation, communicate to your customers that their cart is ready to go. Always add a time urgency regarding the expiration date of the promotion to ensure they complete their purchase.

Try to make it engaging and add different options for your users to interact with. For example, is there any reason to leave your shopping cart? Pricing, I found a better one, not sure on quality. These examples aligned with your own products can make customers share with you the reason and so follow up with a discount or more information about the product. 

VIP promotions & discounts

Taking care of your most important customers can create loyalty and great results long term. If you are not taking care of your most important customers, start now!

For such a specific holiday (Cyber Monday) and segment (Electronics), your VIP customers are extremely important because they have already purchased with you and giving them a special offer will make them understand that you care for them (build loyalty).

For your subscribers or high value customers, create a specific pack or bundle. Or just give them a huge VIP discount code just valid for them. If well communicated, customers will understand that purchasing from you can bring them more discounts and special offers.
