Winter Sales Ecommerce Tips: Spicing Up Your E-Store & More

What’s your best bet for bringing a smile to your customers’ faces? Simple: a well-timed seasonal sales offer. And with Winter Sales 2023 at full speed, you could brighten their post-holiday mood with a great online shopping experience. Read on for some winter sales ecommerce tips to spice up your online store, drive traffic, and get selling. 

Staying on top of your ecommerce sales in 2023

If you’re just beginning your ecommerce sales journey, we’ve got you covered: here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up your very own Shopify store, including the practical steps (like payments and legal.) With these steps in place, you’ll have a customized online store at your fingertips in just a few steps. 

Once you’re done setting up, check out some ecommerce best practices from major online shopping events like Black Friday, which you’ll find handy no matter the season. With a well-timed seasonal sales offer, you’re more likely to cheer up your customers’ post-holiday blues. (Which also makes it more likely they’ll buy from your store more often).

Tweak your online store theme for the seasonal sales

Still got a Christmas-themed banner or New Year’s Sales promos on your online store? It’s time to put those away and go for a more general winter theme instead. This ensures that your store looks more polished, professional, and ready to put your customers first in 2023.

Here’s some inspiration from Dawn, a free Shopify theme we think goes great with winter products and doesn’t need a line of code to set up:

Most ecommerce platforms like Shopify tend to have intuitive, customizable designs for your online store. So you could tweak your website theme for a winter palette with cooler, deeper colors instead (think blues, whites, navies, and grays). 

Here’s some inspiration from Color Hunt, which includes both winter-themed color palettes and their Hex codes, so you can easily find the exact colors while designing: 

Bring in your seasonal smarts for inventory

When it comes to your products, it’s a smart move to stick to the season: this means selling winter-themed products over off-season ones. What you’re able to sell might also depend on your location, so stay on top of your inventory. Your customers might be more likely to be scrolling through your website for: 

  • winter apparel, like warm PJs, coats, jackets, scarves, beanies, and more

  • winter-themed decorations, like candles and cozy blankets

  • specific electric appliances, like heaters

  • specific kitchen items, like mugs and thermoses

  • winter-themed sports equipment, especially for skiers and snowboarders

  • skincare products for cold weather, including moisturizers and lip balm 

Want to put your customers in a great mood? Give them something to look forward to in spring. You could also feature popular spring-themed e-commerce items such as: 

  • gardening tools, like seed starters, gardening equipment, or potted plants

  • cooking tools for warmer weather, like outdoor barbecue sets

  • easter-themed products, especially home decor and recipes

  • wedding-themed products, since May is a popular month for the big day

Here’s another trick to stand out during the 2023 seasonal sales and meet your customers’ needs: try and target what they might buy in line with typical New Year’s resolutions. For example, if you’re in the sports e-commerce niche, you could target a popular resolution like getting in more regular exercise. Your next step? Include a product such as home-based exercise equipment in your store, like this: 

Beat the cold and the competition in one go. 

Best way to photograph clothes to sell online

Even before setting up your website theme, e-commerce platforms like Vinted and Shopify are going to ask you to upload your brand assets first. This means product photos — clean, professional shots that grab eyes and ensure that your customers hit “Buy.” Maybe one of your 2023 goals could be to showcase your products at their absolute best, so check out our best practices for product photography to get started. 

Here’s an example of a product photo that’s guaranteed to make a killing during seasonal sales: 

Clean and simple, right? In fact, it’s the plain background that makes the product stand out even more and keeps things stylish and minimalistic. A background that’s too busy might end up distracting your customers from the product. 

So once you’ve sorted your inventory, make sure to update your product photos with great new ones to watch your e-commerce sales skyrocket. But in case you’re missing the tools to edit your shots, no worries. Here’s a free, automatic, budget-friendly option that’ll get your e-commerce product photos ready in no time for Winter Sales 2023: remove.bg.
