As we hurtle towards the biggest retail event of the year, I knew I couldn't just give you my opinion. You need the insider scoop from the experts who are in the trenches, day in and day out. That's why I sat down with Toby Cumpstay, Shopify's Senior Merchant Success Manager for the APAC region, to get his no-holds-barred advice on how to leverage Black Friday and Cyber Monday to drive serious sales and growth for your retail or e-commerce business. Toby's been there and done that - he founded and grew a hugely successful retail and e-commerce business before it was acquired. So he knows firsthand the challenges, the strategies, and the opportunities that come with navigating the Q4 madness. In this episode, we dive deep into:
- Proven pre, during, and post-BFCM strategies to maximize your results
- How to reverse-engineer your goals and budgets to avoid getting caught out
- The power of segmenting your customer list and offering tailored promotions
- Innovative "anti-pattern" BFCM campaigns that build brand loyalty (think Patagonia and REI)
- Toby's #1 Shopify app recommendation to boost revenue
If you're ready to dominate this holiday season and set your business up for an incredible 2025, you won't want to miss a single minute of this episode. Strap in, because Toby and I are about to take you behind the scenes of Black Friday and Cyber Monday like never before.
