In Saudi Arabia, sales seasons are a golden opportunity for e-commerce store owners. Whether it's the end-of-year sales, Black Friday, or the holidays, customers are ready to buy, and competition is fierce. The question here is:
Is your e-commerce store truly ready for this opportunity?
Let's give you practical steps to help you prepare your store for the rush and sales.
1. Review inventory and organize your products
Before starting any campaign, ensure that your inventory is sufficient and ready. Review quantities and organize your products to make browsing easier for customers. Don't forget to categorize products into sections such as "Special Offers," "Seasonal Discounts," or "For a Limited Time."
2. Prepare eye-catching designs for your offers
Visual design is very important. Design eye-catching banners and headlines that appear on the homepage and across all product pages. Make your offers clear: "30% Off" or "Buy 2, Get 1 Free," for example.
3. Update Prices and Automatically Apply Discounts
Use price management tools within your store's dashboard (like those we provide at Sahl Company) (https://sahl.sa) to automatically set the discount period and apply it. Don't rely on manual adjustments.
4. Improve the Checkout and Shipping Experience
During sales, customers hate delays. Make sure all payment options are working smoothly. Simplify shipping options, and if you can offer free shipping above a certain amount, this will encourage customers to complete their order.
5. Speed Up Your Store and Ensure It's Responsive
During sales season, visitor numbers increase. Don't let your store freeze or lag. Test your website speed and ensure it's responsive to mobile and tablet users. Faster browsing = more sales.
6. Prepare a Marketing Plan Before and During Sales
Launch your promotional campaign days before the sales. Send emails, prepare social media posts, and leverage sponsored ads. Let people know you're offering great deals, so they'll be prepared.
7. Add a countdown timer to encourage quick purchases.
A countdown timer creates a sense of urgency. You can say, "48 hours left until the sale ends," or "Quantity is limited." These methods increase the likelihood of a quick purchase.
8. Don't forget customer service.
Showtimes generate a lot of inquiries and requests. Make sure your support team is ready and responds quickly, whether via chat, WhatsApp, or email.
9. Track results and evaluate performance.
After the end of the season, collect sales data and see which products sold the most and which pages were most visited. This helps you understand what customers liked and better plan for the next season.
In Saudi Arabia, sales are no longer just a season; they've become an event that people anticipate. If your store isn't ready, you could miss out on a huge opportunity.
