Holiday Sales
It’s that time of year again, with the holidays right around the corner. So what are some best practices you can use during your Holiday Sales, to maximize your resort’s success?
Selective Guest Checkout: With Selective Guest Checkout, you will increase conversion by specifying select products as a “Guest Checkout” product. This is extremely helpful in your sales, as many guests use this time to purchase gifts for their loved ones. It will: reduce cart abandonment, accelerate checkout speed, and should lead to increased sales.
Cross Sell: Cross Sell allows you to select specific products that you wish to drive further traffic and sales towards. This is different than your ability for add-ons and related products. This feature allows you to call direct attention to another product, that is typically complimentary to the guest’s shopping cart.
Scaling: If your resort decides to run a flash the sale during this time period, then scaling will be necessary, in order to keep the guest experience smooth. We define a flash sale as a short period of time where your resort will be driving 300% more traffic to your e-commerce site than what is typical. See the above Scaling article in how to properly request your store to be scaled.
Winter is coming… are you ready?
As your resort prepares for your upcoming winter season, make sure your team has the resources to be the most successful.
Need assistance or further training? Our Professional Service team is ready for you. Drop them a line at support@aspenware.com for all your winter needs.
Meet Leigh Bush! She’s one of our rockstar Business Analyst’s at Aspenware. She’s been with the company for almost 2.5 years now.
One of Leigh’s favorite projects is one that can not be fully unveiled, yet, but has been able to let her get to know others in the ski technology industry in addition to various subject experts within our own company. This project has made Leigh proud of how Aspenware communicates with stakeholders and delivers on Aspenware’s vision as well as pivot according to changing business requirements. She loves being able to apply this experience to her current project management coursework which she does weekly.
When we asked Leigh what is one thing she wished everyone knew about or used, she replied with: “I hope our resorts know and use selective guest checkout, which I think is a pretty neat option that makes shopping breezy!”
Where can you find Leigh when she’s not managing the next best product at Aspenware? Riding bikes and baking cakes!
