Best marketing tactics to boost your Independence Day sales

Let’s take a deep dive into the list of actionable marketing ideas that will help you power up your sales this season.

Grow your email list

Your email list is one of the best assets to expand your customer base as you can use it to promote your best deals, offers, and hot products and get more sales.

Theme-based lead generation forms work best in turning your customers into subscribers. In light of this, Automizely Marketing offers a bunch of 4th of July-themed lead generation forms to help you grow your list quickly.

Email marketing

Email marketing can help eCommerce businesses expand their reach, boost their conversion rates, and increase sales. In addition to that, adding coupons to your email marketing campaigns is a great idea. Not only does it encourage your existing customers to return, but it also attracts new ones to engage with your products.

Leverage Automizely Marketing’s professionally designed newsletter templates with discount codes or coupons and give your customers a reason to buy again.

Free shipping

For all the convenience that online shopping brings, the cost of shipping can still be a pain point for consumers. A report from FedEx states that 73% of consumers want free shipping at checkout.

While offering free shipping shrinks your profit margins, it also helps drive more profits altogether with considerably low abandoned carts.

Cart recovery

Cart abandonment is a big problem. It is estimated that an average store loses over 75% of sales due to abandoned carts. Having said that, it’s definitely not impossible to reduce your cart abandonment rate. You know customers are already in the decision stage of the sales funnel. They just need a final push to complete the purchase.

Cart recovery popup

Using a cart recovery popup is a potential tactic to encourage visitors to complete their purchase when they exit the shopping cart page.

Leverage Automizely Marketing’s eye-catching cart recovery popup templates to get the job done.

With Automizely Marketing’s sticky coupon bar, you can easily customize the text, font size, color, and the display position of the sticky coupon bar.

Create a sense of urgency

We’re all familiar with the fear of missing an amazing opportunity. No one wants to look back and say, “What if?”

Smart marketers always tap into this anxiety among customers to great effect.

You can use a countdown timer in your popups or emails to instill FOMO (Fear of missing out) in your target audience and encourage them to jump on an amazing opportunity you’re serving up.

Try Automizely Marketing’s beautiful countdown timer popups that let you match your branding with customized messages and colors and just take a few clicks to set up.

We hope these strategies can help you amplify your sales this year.
