    Hello there!

    What's your thoughts on the upcoming shopping frenzy? Are you prepared, or just tuning in? I think it's better to be safe than sorry, since the last couple of weeks are a real chaos when it comes to making your website/webshop failproof.

    The role of online shopping has increased in the last couple of years.. so this lays significant amount of pressure on the servers. So anyways I'll leave this article - well it's actually the first chapter of the series :) - about how can you prepare for BF and CM, so that you'll stay in the game.

    I hope that you'll like it!

    Best wishes and best of luck,

    Matt

    No Black Friday where I live, but then I would think that a number of people are ready for it. Of course, over the years online shopping has increased. Now a number of retail shops have Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, which helps people since they don't have to line up. Downside is that sites crash when too many people are trying to access it at the same time. As for preparing itself...the best still is to know what you're going to get. In that sense online shopping would help as you can look at what items you would get and have an idea on their prices.

    Actually, at LiveChat we've recently published an interesting Report: "Ecommerce During Holiday Sales Craze".
    It covers the following aspects of ecommerce businesses activity during that period:
    • Checklist of things you need to do to prepare to boost your sales.
    • Holiday Shopping Season (2015) sales data gathered from 1,400 e-commerce companies.
    • Service benchmarks and revenue increase predictions.
    You can download the Report from our website.

    To get access to     the full report, we only expect you to share it via social media. The main reason we went for pay-with-a-tweet option is to bring the content to the wider audience. We spent a huge number of nights&days trying to make this report as useful and interesting as it is possible, thus we would love to see it is spreading around.
