Cyber Monday is quickly becoming the most important online shopping day of the year. This year, Cyber Monday falls on December 2nd, which is only 9 days away. That means now is the time to start preparing your holiday promotions. Consider offering free shipping this year as an added incentive to capture these Cyber Monday shoppers.

Offering specials like free shipping gives just that little extra nudge to help convert customers browsing for deals. We recommend planning a sequence of specials and promotional messaging over the next four weeks. Consider promoting your holiday specials on your homepage or social media channels in the days leading up to Cyber Monday to build up anticipation.
