During Black Friday weekend, thousands of brick-and-mortar retailers will offer "gift with purchase" promotions.

What is a gift with purchase promotion, you ask?

Exactly what it sounds like: customers can receive a free gift if they purchase a certain product or reach a specified spending threshold. 

Many Shopify and eCommerce stores use this strategy to give Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers an incentive to spend more.

But the question is, what makes a great gift? There are many factors to consider when picking a giveaway that will motivate customers to spend a little more. 

It's Halloween season, which means eCommerce merchants are scrambling to get their November promotions in line so they don't get spooked by Black Friday. 

Here’s a freaky fact: 97% of people who visit your site for the first time leave without buying anything. 

Don’t panic — there are ways to bring them back. 

Did you know that Black Friday weekend is the single biggest online sales event of the year? In 2018 Shopify store owners made $1.5 Billion in revenue, and this year is predicted to be even bigger.

Product bundling is the perfect solution for eCommerce stores looking to unlock their full earning potential.

So, you've decided to use "daily deals" as part of your Black Friday eCommerce strategy.

Great choice!

Running daily deals is an excellent way to create urgency, drive traffic, and increase sales, not only during Black Friday, but during the days leading up to the holiday weekend as well. 

With Black Friday coming up fast, eCommerce merchants are scrambling to get their ducks in a row so they can cash-in on the biggest shopping event of the year.

One question many merchants ask is, “how do I give my Black Friday promotions a sense of urgency?” 

You could call it the holy trinity of eCommerce and retail: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. If you own a Shopify store or work in eCommerce you know this weekend is a BIG deal. 

In 2018, U.S. online retailers sold $3.7 billion on Thanksgiving, $6.2 billion on Black Friday, and a whopping $7.9 billion on Cyber Monday — that’s $17.8 billion in online sales over just three days!

You finally did it. You started your own eCommerce store! 

We bet you’re enjoying being your own boss and selling the products you love — or even made yourself. But as you’re probably finding out, eCommerce is no walk in the park.
