2. 5 Ways to increase your holiday sales on your website
Delivery companies, get your engines ready! Online retailers have one goal and one goal only: increasing holiday sales. But how can they best go about doing this?
Spoiler alert! One of the best strategies is (drumroll please…) customer feedback!

3. ‘Tis the Season for Customer Feedback…and here’s why
Online traffic levels are at an all-time high around the holidays. However, depending on the performance of your website and/or mobile app, this boost in traffic can bring about both positive and negative results. On one hand it offers up the chance to shine and be there for all of your customers’ holiday shopping needs. However, should something go wrong, then that’s also a large audience of holiday shoppers who may get irritated and decide to do their shopping somewhere else.
Hence the need for customer feedback. This post runs you through all of the reasons you should be collecting customer feedback to keep your ecommerce site up to par with the expectations of your customers.
