To help you prepare your Shop for the holidays, we\u2019ve provide some useful tips below.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Tip #1: Activate Top-Selling Accessories<\/h2>\n<p>Over the past three years, we\u2019ve been tracking the top-selling Christmas accessories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee\/Tea Mug (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/coffee-tea-mug\/31\">ID 31<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Full Color Mug (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/full-color-mug\/949\">ID 949<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable Apron (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/adjustable-apron\/1186\">ID 1186<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Snap-back Baseball Cap (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/snapback-baseball-cap\/803\">ID 803<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You should also consider activating our brand-new Camper Mug (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/camper-mug\/1313\">ID 1313<\/a>), which has already proven to be very popular. You could also consider products like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/products\/detail\/throw-pillow-cover-17.5%9Dx17.5%9D\/1049\">pillow case and<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/partner-product-range\/products\/iphone-cases-CG13\">smartphone cases<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to apparel, customers still tend to opt for the best-selling options, which you can explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/18\/wealth-information-2017s-best-selling-products-shops\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/20\/give-the-people-what-they-want-our-best-selling-summer-products\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip #2: Update Your Shop\u2019s Imagery<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone enjoys being in the Christmas spirit, and this includes your customers. To get them in a festive mood before they make a purchase, style your Shop so it\u2019s prepared for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>First, you can change the color scheme of your Shop under General &gt; Color scheme. Opting for a red and green theme will pair perfectly with the start page Christmas teaser, which we\u2019ve provided under Page Settings &gt; Start Page &gt; Teaser. You could also consider adding a Christmas-twist to your \u201cAbout the Shop\u201d section, and you could add a holiday flair to your Shop logo.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to update your imagery on your social media accounts. This includes your pictures and banners, and these images should reflect the joyous mood that\u2019s common during the holidays (specifically, sparkly\/colorful images or photos of families and friends).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Christmas doesn\u2019t last forever. Make sure you continue to update your Shop and profiles as the seasons change.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip #3: Rely on Our Shop Promos<\/h2>\n<p>Between now and the end of the year, we\u2019ll be providing you with a number of promos that you can use in your Shop. While we\u2019re providing the discounts, it\u2019s up to you to do the promoting. Let your followers and customers know of the potential savings that will be happening over the next month or so, and continue pumping out engaging content so those individuals are always aware of the sales. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/13\/the-ultimate-five-day-promotional-plan\/\">blog<\/a> post provides a thorough guide to planning your promotion plan, while this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/17\/teach-promo-teach-teach-promo\/\">blog<\/a> adds some context and additional strategies.<\/p>\n<p>There are three major promotions that you should be keeping in mind as you prepare for the holidays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Black Friday Weekend: November 23<sup>rd<\/sup> to 25<sup>th<\/sup>\n<ul>\n<li>15% off everything with code CYBER18<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Cyber Monday: November 26<sup>th<\/sup>\n<ul>\n<li>15% off everything AND free shipping with code CYBERSALE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Christmas Promo: December 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to 4<sup>th<\/sup>\n<ul>\n<li>Free shipping with code MERRY18<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tip #4: Continue Being Creative<\/h2>\n<p>Even if there aren\u2019t ongoing promotions, there are still plenty of ways to lure customers to your Shop. These consumers are going to be hunting for gifts throughout December, and a clever marketing campaign could help to guide them directly to your products.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a \u201c10 Days Until Christmas\u201d theme wouldn\u2019t only provide some brand familiarity, but it will also add a sense of urgency. Ultimately, such content is key, as it\u2019s one of the most effective ways to convince customers to make a purchase.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of these tips?
