5 Things To Do Before Your Black Friday Sales
Get ready to make more money.
Black Friday is almost here, the busiest and the most peak sales period of the year — which means it’s important that you’re ready to deal with the rush.
To help you make the most out of your Black Friday Sales, we’ve created a checklist of the five things you can do to prepare:
- Create an inventory checklist.
Creating an inventory checklist will help you know the products you have in stock. If you have slow-moving products, consider bundling them with your bestsellers as an incentive for your customers to buy them. You can also stock up on quick-selling products that your customers might be interested in.
2. Set your discounts.
Consider the special offers you want to give. Do you want to offer discounts on everything in your store, buy-one-get-one-free deals, or special discounts on certain items? Think about what your customers would like the most.
You could also offer product bundles, free shipping, add-ons, gift cards, or free shipping.
3. Decide how long to offer discounts for.
Your Black Friday could be a day, a weekend, a week, or even a month. It’s up to you to decide when you want it to begin and how long you want sales to go on for. Just remember to plan in advance, tease the upcoming sales and discounts, then create hype around the sales.
4. Prepare to get paid.
Do you know how you want to accept payments from your customers? If you use Kuda Business, you can easily create a free virtual POS to accept payments across your business locations and confirm transactions quickly.
Alternatively, you can choose to use a physical POS terminal to accept card payments, transfers, and Pay With Kuda payments. Whether you choose to use a virtual POS or a physical POS terminal, payment confirmation is quick and settlement in your Kuda Business account is instant.
5. Train your staff.
If you have staff, they can play a major role in giving your customers a great experience during Black Friday. Train them to manage the extra shoppers, answer questions well, and deal with any issues that come up.
Treat this Black Friday as a learning experience to delight your customers and keep them coming back long after sales are over.
