This year Cyber Monday is expected to fall on December 2nd. So that doesn’t leave a whole lot of time left for e-commerce managers to make their preparations. With that said, here’s a look at several crucial tasks that all online retailers should complete this week:
E-commerce Management Task #1: Server Maintenance Tests
One of the most crucial tasks to complete before Cyber Monday is a server test. The test needs to be done in order to make sure that your e-commerce site can handle the influx of traffic. Some of the elements to take into account during the testing phase are your system’s database, bandwidth, logs, reboot capabilities and configuration. Of course those of you that signed up for our e-commerce management hosting packages won’t have to worry about such things. That’s because we continuously monitor server health for you.
E-Commerce Management Task #2: Site Functionality
It is also extremely important to make sure that your site’s key features are up-to-date and working properly. Features to really key in on are your x-cart modules and add-ons. At FinestShops, we have packages that offer store performance monitoring too. So those of you that signed up for such packages won’t need to stress over site functionality either.
E-Commerce Management Task #3: Market, Market, Market
Now is also the time to get your online store’s holiday marketing underway. There are several x-cart modules and add-ons that can help you get the word out about your online store’s deals. Among them are Don’t Miss Out!, Newsletter Subscription Booster and XCMS Blogging. Other ways to attract attention are sending out press releases and posting sales information on Cyber Monday blogging sites. Participating in coupon code generating sites and apps may also help.
