The biggest shopping event of the year—Black Friday & Cyber Monday—is just around the corner. This is the perfect opportunity for businesses to maximize sales and increase customer engagement. However, with so many brands vying for attention, how can you ensure your message cuts through the noise?
Unified messaging allows you to reach your customers via multiple channels like SMS, WhatsApp, email, live chat, and voice, all from one platform—CRM Messaging. Here’s how to leverage it to boost your Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales.
Key Strategies for Black Friday & Cyber Monday Success
1. Create Urgency with Time-Sensitive Offers
Black Friday & Cyber Monday are all about flash sales and limited-time offers. Creating a sense of urgency is one of the most effective ways to prompt customers to act quickly. By using CRM Messaging, you can send time-sensitive promotions via SMS or WhatsApp, urging customers to act fast.
- SMS Example: “ Hurry! Black Friday Sale ends in 12 hours. Get 30% off storewide NOW! [Link]”
- WhatsApp Broadcasts: Send exclusive sneak peeks of upcoming deals to your loyal customers, offering them early access to your sales.
2. Segment Your Audience for Personalized Deals
Segment your audience based on their past purchase behavior or browsing habits and send tailored offers that are hard to resist. Customers are more likely to engage with offers that feel personalized.
By using CRM Messaging, you can send tailored offers to different customer segments, ensuring relevance and maximizing engagement. For example:
- VIP Customers: Reward your best customers with a special discount before the sale goes live: “As one of our VIPs, enjoy early access to our Black Friday sale. Use code VIP30 for an additional 10% off.”
- Abandoned Cart Shoppers: Send reminders to customers who have left items in their cart: “Don’t miss out on your favorite products! Complete your purchase with an extra 15% off for Black Friday.”
3. Automate Your Black Friday Campaigns for Efficiency
Managing the volume of messages during Black Friday & Cyber Monday can be overwhelming. Automation helps you deliver your messages on time, ensuring your audience receives the latest updates without manual intervention. With CRM Messaging’s automation tools, you can set up your campaigns in advance. Use email flows and SMS reminders to maintain customer engagement throughout the weekend.
- Pre-Sale Hype: Automate emails to go out one week before the sale, building anticipation with subject lines like “Get Ready for the Biggest Sale of the Year!”
- Flash Sale Reminders: Automatically send SMS updates during the sale to inform customers about flash deals: “ Flash Deal! 40% off all electronics—only for the next 2 hours!”
4. Offer Post-Sale Incentives
The Monday after Black Friday, also known as Cyber Monday, is a chance to capitalize on post-sale engagement. Use CRM Messaging to send follow-up messages thanking customers and offering discounts on their next purchase.
- Post-Purchase Thank Yous: “Thanks for shopping with us this Black Friday! Use code THANKYOU for 10% off your next purchase—valid until Cyber Monday.”
- Customer Retention: After the sales end, encourage customers to return with an exclusive Cyber Monday deal via WhatsApp or SMS.
