Create a sense of urgency
Adding a Christmas countdown to your online store is a simple but effective way to increase your sales this December, working as a gentle reminder to keep your visitors in that holiday mind set.

Cater to the Christmas customer
Christmas shopping is renowned for being a little stressful so, until your customer breathes that last sigh of relief, you should be offering simple solutions wherever you can. Offering next day or express delivery can make all the difference to the busy seasonal shopper, pair this with the promotion of easy present ideas such as online gift cards and your customers will be stress free this season.
Enhance your SEO
Over the Christmas period it’s all about the content especially when it comes to your search performance. Ranking higher in search results this December can make all the difference so think about identifying the Christmas search terms and phrases your target audience will be searching for. Creating promotional content such as blog posts and gift guides is another effective way to climb up those rankings this season, hitting as many keywords as you can.
Increase your PPC budget
