How to Sell Unique Mother's Day Gifts

Now that you have some fantastic best-selling products in your store, what's next? Next is to make them unique and sell them using a solid marketing strategy. You can have some fantastic products in your store, but if no one feels the desire to buy them, it won't matter how great they are. You need to convince your customers that these gifts are just what they are looking for, either for the competitive price, the trending design, or the customization option. 

By purchasing your products, customers should feel like they will make their mom the happiest mom in the world. Or at least a very pampered one. Let's get started!

Personalization

The easiest way to take an ordinary product and turn it into a one-of-a-kind item is through personalization. Customization is a rising product strategy that's here to stay! If you don't believe us, take a look at these stats:

• 90% of customers appreciate customization features.
• 80% of buyers are more likely to purchase with personalization.
• 72% of customers only engage with personalized marketing.

Here are the types of upsells you can use for free in Chip:

2. Frequently Bought Together
3. Campaign Details Page Popup Upsell
4. Cart Page Upsell 
5. Post-Sale Popup Upsell

Create a Sense of Urgency

Nothing encourages customers to buy products and take action fast as the feeling that they might miss out on a great deal, offer, or product. This is called Sense of Urgency, and it's a psychological trick whose purpose is to evoke the feeling of "running out of time," thus the need to take action as soon as possible. 

You can set the Countdown Timer and Remaining Stock feature in your Chip store to prompt your customers to buy now. It's effortless, and you just need to follow the steps in our blog. 

Develop an Email Marketing Campaign

Email Marketing campaigns are very effective. You get to send and promote your products to people that have already visited your website and showed interest in them. 

Since you already have your customers' email addresses, you may as well get the most out of them! Use our fully integrated Email Marketing platform to create beautiful emails with personalized offers, product selections, and promotions.
