We know what you're thinking, and it might still be early...

But there's only one key to success during the busiest e-commerce sales season: planning ahead.

Experts predict that fashion retail sales will surpass $5.23 billion in the 2024 holiday sales season. Are you going to be left out?

Things can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to start.

With that in mind, here are four ideas to get you started:

  1. Offer personalized experiences to understand customer behavior across all channels;

  2. Use innovative checkout methods to make shopping faster and easier;

  3. Take advantage of the growing trend of social commerce;

  4. Invest in technologies that reduce e-commerce returns.

With Paris Fashion Week fast approaching, all eyes are on the ultra-luxurious haute couture market.  

Haute couture is certainly the most exclusive sector within fashion, but what about online luxury sales? Do you know which countries dominate luxury e-commerce sales?

The global luxury goods market includes high-end fashion, accessories, jewelry, watches, cosmetics and fragrances, and is characterized by high quality, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.

The number of luxury brands in a country doesn’t necessarily correlate with online sales. These four countries are the biggest luxury shoppers online: 

  • France (37%)

  • USA (24%)

  • Switzerland (10%)

  • Italy (5%)

Any surprises? Sales numbers for luxury items in e-commerce promise to grow even more in the coming years.

Luxury brands are perfecting how to offer the premium experience of physical stores in the virtual world.

For sales to grow, e-commerce sales need to tie in with in-person sales. Currently, 75% of offline sales are influenced by the internet, a strong confirmation of the synergistic relationship between offline and online channels.

All brands want one thing: to stand out

And investing in more organic content could be the missing strategy for your brand to get closer to your audience.

From mega influencers to casual everyday posts, OOTD posts have taken over social media. If you don’t know, OOTD stands for “Outfit Of The Day”.

While they're nothing new, of all the different niches and formats on social media, OOTD posts stand the test of time as one of the most enduring types of content.

#OOTD has surpassed 21.3 million posts on TikTok.

People love getting a glimpse into other people’s daily lives and style choices, and that’s exactly what #OOTD offers.

And it’s also a great way for consumers  to discover relevant products. After all, people can find creators they identify with, be it for their skin tone (for beauty products), or size (for clothing), and actually see how products look on someone similar to  them.

Content that's tangible and personal. These two words are the secret to a better shopping journey for your audience.
