Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 5:42 am
As every summer, the first official weekend of sales is one of the most important moments of the calendar.
Online fashion searches can multiply by up to 400%, making it one of the most strategic dates of the year. If we want to achieve that sales peak from the first days of sales, it is important to prepare and anticipate the competition by defining a good digital marketing strategy. It should be noted that during these days, consumers are more willing to buy, seduced by discounts and offers.
During last year's summer sales, 2020, we already saw a change in consumer habits due to the consequences, such as confinement, caused by the health crisis.
This translates into digital numbers well above normal and we are waiting to see if they will be repeated this year, further consolidating e-commerce.
Here are some key data:
During the first 24 hours of last summer's sales, more than 13 million searches for fashion-related content were made.
Searches for women's and men's fashion architectural industry mailing list increased by 78% compared to 2019, with shoes, bags and dresses (especially white) being the most sought-after items. Searches
for youth fashion increased during the first days by 50.5%, with t-shirts, trousers, shorts and skirts being the most sought-after items.
As for bikinis, the star product every summer, online searches soared by 81% compared to last summer's sales.
Finally, the products added to the cart were 78% higher than average.
