Help your followers take advantage of major sales happening December 26 - mid January

 

As we get ready to say hello to 2023, remember to keep posting your shoppable content for the “super shopping season” running from December 26 through mid-January. This is the time when shoppers use holiday gift cards they received, make returns and exchanges, prepare for New Years, and shop after-Christmas sales, like Boxing Day and White Sales. 

According to The Associated Press, “Nearly 50% [of shoppers] plan to take advantage of post-holiday sales and promotions and 27% plan to use gift cards.” Plus, during this time brands and retailers are trying to clear out inventory, so this is a prime opportunity to post your favorite picks. 

 

 

Not sure what to post? We’ve rounded up some ideas to help you curate content for this major shopping moment:

  1. New Year’s Eve: Share party looks and essentials to help your followers ring in the new year.
  2. Post-holiday deals: Holiday decor, toys and winter wear are big categories that consumers shop post holiday season. This is also a great time to continue to tap into those verticals you diversified your shoppable content with. Your LTK Gift Guides are a great source of inspiration and way to gauge what your followers shopped for. Check out your analytics to optimize your end-of-the-year content. 
  3. White Sales: Think of this as a major January sale event for home goods. Post products like towels, linens and bedding. (Psst: Some sales have even come to include home decor and furniture!)
