Transform Your BFCM Sale with Real-Time Omnichannel Insights

Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) is more than just a shopping event; it’s the Super Bowl of retail, where businesses compete to attract customers and maximize sales. In 2023, success is not solely about offering the lowest discounts; it’s about providing seamless, data-driven, omnichannel experiences that exceed customer expectations.

This is where the 99minds Globe comes into play, offering a powerful way to visualize and analyze your BFCM sales performance across all channels in real time. With unmatched insights into sales trends, loyalty program activity, and gift card performance, the 99minds Globe equips you with the tools needed to excel this holiday season.

Customer behavior has changed. Today’s shoppers effortlessly navigate between digital and physical channels, expecting brands to engage with them wherever they are. During BFCM, this omnichannel approach becomes essential.

• Online Sales: Customers browse deals on websites and apps, searching for convenience and exclusive discounts.
• In-Store Shopping: Many still visit brick-and-mortar locations for the tactile experience and immediate gratification.
• Hybrid Shopping Journeys: Click-and-collect, curbside pickup, and same-day delivery are popular hybrid options during BFCM.

To capitalize on this behavior, businesses must not only integrate their channels but also track their BFCM sale performance in real-time. The 99minds Globe bridges this gap, offering a unified view of sales across online and in-store channels.

How the 99minds Globe Enhances Your BFCM Sale

The 99minds Globe goes beyond static reports, providing live updates that empower you to:

1. Monitor Total Sales

   See how your BFCM sale is performing globally with up-to-the-second updates on total revenue. This allows you to identify surges, adjust strategies, and allocate resources more effectively.

2. Track Regional Performance

   Break down sales by region—North America, Europe, and Asia—to pinpoint where your strategies are succeeding. Regional insights can help you tailor marketing efforts, manage inventory, and deliver a localized shopping experience.

3. Leverage Gift Cards

   Gift cards are a holiday shopping staple and their popularity soars during BFCM. The Globe lets you:

   • Measure the number of gift cards sold.
   • Track how many are redeemed during the sale.
   • Understand their impact on overall revenue.

   Gift cards also bring new customers into your ecosystem, making them an invaluable tool for long-term growth.

4. Optimize Loyalty Programs

   Loyalty is more than a buzzword—it’s a driver of repeat purchases and customer satisfaction. The 99minds Globe tracks:

   • Loyalty Points Earned: See how customers are engaging with your loyalty program.
   • Points Redeemed: Monitor how rewards influence purchasing decisions.
   • Orders Placed Using Loyalty Points: Identify the direct impact of loyalty programs on your BFCM sale.

   These insights can help you refine your loyalty offerings to maximize customer retention.

5. Measure Total Order Value Lift

   Upselling and cross-selling opportunities abound during BFCM. The Globe provides real-time updates on the lift in order value, helping you fine-tune strategies like product bundles or tiered discounts.

Why Real-Time Data is a Game-Changer

Traditional reporting methods can’t keep up with the pace of BFCM sales. By the time you analyze historical data, the opportunity to act has passed. The 99minds Globe delivers real-time insights, empowering you to:

1. Identify Top-Selling Products

   During the BFCM sale, some products will inevitably perform better than expected, quickly becoming crowd favorites. With real-time insights from the 99minds Globe, you can track these best-sellers as the data flows in. This allows you to react immediately by:

   • Increasing stock availability for high-demand products to avoid stockouts and lost sales opportunities.
   • Highlighting these trending products in your marketing efforts—think social media ads, email campaigns, or on-site banners—to further boost visibility and revenue.
   • Ensuring you’re always prepared to meet customer demand, maximizing revenue while enhancing the shopping experience.

   By leveraging these insights instantly, you prevent missed opportunities and ensure your BFCM sale remains competitive and profitable.

2. Adapt Promotions On the Fly

   Promotions are a cornerstone of any BFCM strategy, but not all campaigns hit the mark. Traditional sales reports often mean waiting until after the event to analyze what went wrong, but with the 99minds Globe, you can:

   • Monitor performance in real time for specific discounts, flash sales, or bundle offers to see which are resonating with customers.
   • Pivot instantly by adjusting underperforming promotions or adding urgency to campaigns that need a push.
   • Experiment with new strategies—like bundling complementary products or offering tiered discounts—and watch the immediate results unfold.

   This real-time adaptability ensures that every campaign maximizes its potential, giving you a clear edge over competitors still relying on outdated reporting methods.

3. Maximize Inventory Efficiency

   Inventory management is critical during BFCM, as customer demand can vary significantly between regions and channels. The 99minds Globe gives you unparalleled visibility into your stock flow, enabling you to:

   • Allocate products dynamically to regions where demand is peaking, avoiding overstock in low-performing areas and shortages in high-performing ones.
   • Rebalance inventory between online and physical stores to meet customer expectations seamlessly.
   • Prevent costly stockouts, which not only hurt revenue but can also damage customer trust and satisfaction.

   By staying agile and responsive, you can keep customers happy while reducing excess inventory costs, making your BFCM sale more efficient and profitable.

4. Boost Customer Engagement

   In the crowded BFCM market, customer engagement is key to standing out. Real-time insights from the 99minds Globe enable you to deliver experiences that resonate with your shoppers:

   • Identify loyal customers during the sale and reward them with exclusive perks, such as bonus loyalty points or early access to deals.
   • Tailor marketing efforts to real-time trends—if a certain product is trending, you can cross-promote complementary items or upsell premium alternatives.
   • Build excitement by celebrating milestones like “the 1,000th order” or offering flash rewards, making customers feel valued and connected to your brand.

   When customers see that their interactions are acknowledged and rewarded, they’re more likely to return, ensuring your BFCM sale isn’t just a one-time success but a stepping stone for long-term loyalty.
