Optimization Calendar: Set a formal plan indicating how frequently you will optimize and what will be analyzed daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
Holiday Pro Tip: Set aside specific times for deep-dive analysis, ensuring consistent improvements and avoiding last-minute scrambles.
Marketers know that optimization is the key to squeezing the most ROI out of our budgets, but sometimes this exercise becomes a bit of a “back burner” task and is only properly addressed when there are glaring performance issues or a few hours of free time.
During the holiday season, prioritize optimization, starting with a formalized optimization schedule on your calendars to ensure it gets the time it deserves. You will likely want to bump up your cadence from your middle-of-the-year timing, which might be monthly or weekly, to a more often cadence of weekly or daily — even hourly if you have the data to do that.
Cross-Channel Consistency: Think like an omnichannel marketer to align with the omnichannel shopper. Ensure your messaging is harmonious across all platforms.
Holiday Pro Tip: Regularly review messaging across all channels. Shoppers see your brand in various spaces; offer them a cohesive experience.
In our Consumer Holiday survey, consumers plan to split their shopping between online and offline stores — making it truly one of the first omnichannel end-of-the-year shopping seasons in history. Ensure that your messaging is attuned to this reality and that you are speaking to consumers this year as omnichannel buyers. Offer ads that have a clear and logical progression as your potential customers switch between online and in-store browsing.
