Winter sales are a strategic period for retailers. It’s the perfect opportunity to attract new customers and generate revenue in a highly competitive environment. It is essential to stand out and plan your actions methodically.
Discover how to turn this key period into a growth lever with an omnichannel strategy
1- Analyze the performance of past campaigns
To prepare your sales campaigns, start by analyzing the contribution of each channel to your overall purchase journey. Don’t limit yourself to isolated KPIs; focus on their complementarity and collective impact.
Identify the role of each channel
- Which channels (email, SMS, programmatic, social networks, affiliates) drive traffic to your website?
- Which ones drive conversions?
Assess their contribution at the different stages of the customer journey, rather than focusing solely on last-click attribution
Identify optimization opportunities
Some channels might be underused or poorly targeted. For example, your programmatic campaigns might generate many impressions but little engagement.
Consider reviewing your targeting or formats to improve their effectiveness or test other channels.
>Identify these gaps or seek professional assistance to optimize your results.
Consider new channels
A comprehensive, omnichannel analysis of your performance will help you better allocate resources to maximize your sales impact.
2- Prepare your databases in advance: collection and cleaning
Before the sales period, your database is your key asset. A clean and enriched database will allow you to maximize the impact of your acquisition campaigns.
Launch data collection campaigns
- Offer incentives to encourage prospects to subscribe to your newsletter: private sales, winter sales, promo codes…
- Mix your collection campaigns to enrich your database.
- Target your audiences with programmatic campaigns (display, video, audio…) to capture new users before the sales period.
Clean your existing database
- Remove inactive or unsubscribed contacts to improve engagement and deliverability.
- Confirm contact preferences to comply with opt-in/opt-out regulations (GDPR).
A clean, well-managed database is a lever for more relevant and profitable campaigns.
3- Optimize your images for better deliverability
When launching your campaigns, your messages must quickly capture attention and perfectly fit the user context. Personalized and engaging use of formats will maximize your deliverability and performance.
Adapt content for each channel
Targeted and adapted messages for SMS/RCS, attractive visuals for emails, relevant banners for targeted or programmatic audiences.
Use DCO (Dynamic Content Optimization)
Personalize your ads in real time based on user behavior, profile, or location.
Care for your CTA
“Discover offers”, “-60% now”: clear, engaging, conversion-oriented content.
With clear and dynamic messages, you optimize every interaction to maximize your sales.
4- Implement a coherent omnichannel strategy
Diversifying acquisition channels is essential to maximize the reach of your campaigns.
Synchronize your actions
Combine email, SMS/RCS, display, video, and social networks to reach prospects at key moments in their journey.
Create complementary messages
Adapt message content to the formats and user expectations of each channel. For example, shorter messages for SMS, more explanatory for emails.
5- Measure and adjust your performance in real time
During the sales, closely monitor your campaigns to quickly adjust your strategy:
- Click and conversion rates by channel.
- Engagement on your SMS/RCS and email campaigns
- Visitor behavior on your site: time spent, pages viewed, abandonment paths
- In-store traffic for your Drive to Store campaigns
If one channel underperforms, quickly reallocate investments or messages for better targeting.
