The Tactics Behind Our Biggest Black Friday Ever

Rugby Bricks, our e-commerce business, generated nearly $25,000 on the first day of BFCYM.

Here’s the 6-point checklist we made for changing our website (sorry, cell phone readers; you’ll have to go landscape for the full picture).

Each number on the screen correlates with the bullet point below :

1. Free Shipping On Orders Over $100.00

Increase Average Order Value

Customer Win: Any orders that combine $100 worth of stock have enough profit to warrant free shipping, which is the second highest pain point of our customer

Business Win: Any combination of orders that have over $100 warrants enough profit to cover shipping and increase the value of our average order

2. Make The Value You Are Giving Obvious (20 – 70% Off)

Business Win: The average time someone spends on our website is 36 seconds during BFCYM – the simpler we make it for them to get to a buying page the easier it is for us to collect cash

5. Visible Discounts
