If you’re a small business looking to amp up black Friday sales, one of the best things you can do is begin your preparations now. Below, you’ll find a few ideas that will help you. Just don’t leave it too late! 

Begin A Countdown

Start a countdown so that your audience knows exactly how long it is before the sales begin. This will build momentum and help them to get as excited as you are about it. 

Start Your Sales Early

Why not start your sales a day or two early? This will make people take notice and you’ll likely make more money this way. 

Host An Event

If you have a physical store, why not host an event? Create a buzz around the event with your marketing and make everybody want to show up. Freebies always go down well! 

Create A Gift Guide 

A gift guide will make people start thinking about Christmas. By creating a gift guide using your own products, you’ll encourage people to prepare for the festive period. 

Make Sure You’re Mobile Ready 

Being mobile ready is imperative – get this in place well before the sales begin. As you’ll see on the Infographic below, many of the sales made during these sales are on mobile. If your business isn’t mobile ready, then you’re definitely missing out. Carefully go through the infographic and you’ll likely find other things you need to have in place to make the most of the sales.
