Written by Deborah Merkin | 10/20/2011

Retail competition definitely intensifies during the holiday season, so it is important to make sure your business' holiday strategy stands out.  Here are 5 quick tips from "Practical Ecommerce" to keep your strategy fresh this year.

  1. Start Campaigns Now- don't wait until after Thanksgiving, the holiday shopping season is already half over at that point
  2. Advertise and sell on Amazon- if you don't advertise and sell your products on Amazon someone else will
  3. Offer Gift Cards- a favorite of both givers and receivers, due to their low-risk nature
  4. Use Video- it is all about how you engage your consumer, and what is more engaging than using video to attract them?
  5. Add a 'Gift Ideas' landing page- get on your consumer's thought path and it will make it easy for them to see why they need to buy your product
