Spreadshop promotions allow you to push new designs and boost sales instantly. Because of this, implementing promotions to your business has great benefit in the world of e-commerce.<\/p>\n

When used effectively, it has the potential to create a sense of urgency and need for your products and generate more sales quickly, whilst also increasing the chances of customer engagement and loyalty.<\/p>\n

Types of Spreadshop promotions<\/h2>\n

At Spreadshop we offer a few different types of promotions<\/strong><\/a> for you to make the most of your store. Using our limited time offers of specific discounts and free shipping, you can encourage more sales. With limited time discounts you can offer, for example, 25% off for the next week, and this would encourage customers to buy within the next week to make use of the special offer.<\/p>\n

The same goes for the free shipping offer, which encourages customers to order during the free shipping period to save on shipping costs.<\/p>\n

Have defined goals<\/h2>\n

Instead of just going crazy with the promos and overwhelming your customers with offers, it is important to have defined goals for what you want the promos to achieve. Do you want to increase sales? Attract new customers? Or reward loyal ones? Maybe there is a specific product or design in your shop that you want to push? Having a goal ensures that you can offer a promo that aligns with your goals.<\/p>\n

Timing Your Spreadshop Promotions<\/h2>\n

A key factor to consider when planning your Spreadshop promotions is the \u201cwhen\u201d. There are so many different special dates and events throughout the year, there will almost always be something to celebrate. So why not make a special promo out of it? For example, how about free shipping right before Christmas?<\/p>\n

Or a special free shipping offer for orders with 2+ items for Valentine\u2019s Day? Make use of these opportunities for maximum impact, and be sure to check where you can adjust the promo periods in your partner area.<\/p>\n

Promotional content and how to approach it<\/h2>\n

Remember to make use of promotional content. This will enable you to show off your products whilst sending a direct sales message. Of course, you shouldn\u2019t completely rely on promotional content alone, but rather find a good balance of promotional and informative or conversational content, which will lead to a more trusting relationship with your customer.<\/p>\n
