A shopper finds the perfect gift, adds it to their cart… and then their phone buzzes, the doorbell rings, dinner's ready. The moment's gone. By the time they come back, someone else has won the sale. That's how fragile holiday shopping is - but with the right automations, you can save the sale and build momentum.
In this episode, we're giving your holiday flows a makeover - so they're tuned for gifting season, closing the loop on lost sales, and creating repeat customers who keep coming back even after the holiday rush.
This is part of my BFCM Prep Series, where we're making sure your marketing is strategic, intentional, and designed to convert — not just add to the inbox chaos.
