When preparing, therefore, focus first on those with the highest impact, and then supplement with more advanced tactics.
How to Apply Tips in Three Phases
We've grouped the ten tips into three logical sections – from preparing products and offers, through building trust and optimizing the experience, to marketing and analyzing results.
Product and Offer Preparation

Optimize product descriptions – update them to be accurate, clear, and contain relevant keywords. Emphasize benefits and important information such as dimensions, material, and availability.
Test products before Black Friday – gather reviews and ratings from testers to better identify products with the potential to appeal to a wider audience.
Trust and Shopping Experience
Use reviews to increase trustworthiness – publish authentic user reviews directly on product pages. Up to 86% of customers won't buy until they read reviews.
Collaborate with influencers – their recommendations often carry more weight than traditional ads and help reach new audiences.
Ensure page speed and reliability – a slow-loading website will deter customers. Optimize speed, test functionality on various devices, and invest in a stable server.
Simplify the purchasing process – reduce the number of steps, offer various payment methods, allow guest checkout, and make shipping and payment options easy to choose.
Marketing and Optimization
Personalization and customer retargeting – offer recommendations based on previous purchases and remind customers about products they viewed but didn't buy.
Free and fast delivery – free delivery is one of the strongest motivators for purchase. Consider offering fast delivery to assure customers that orders will arrive on time.
