It’s the perfect time of year to add a little extra effort to holiday shipping. Convert first-time shoppers to repeat customers, or encourager gift-givers to give a little something to themselves, with a memorable unboxing experience that keeps your brand top of mind.

Here are a few considerations for your holiday shipping strategy to help you turn gift givers into brand ambassadors.

Personalized Touches

Personal accents can go a long way toward fostering a relationship with holiday shoppers and turning them into repeat customers. These little accents are also incredibly easy to include. For example, a handwritten note can really make their order feel appreciated, or even a holiday card featuring a photo of your team. Even something as small as your customer’s name (correctly spelled) on the order can make the whole experience feel more personal.

Add Little Extras

Sometimes, it’s the little things that can make all the difference between ho-hum and holly jolly unboxing experience for your customers. Festive ribbons, charming twine, and including gifting tags or relevant stickers all add extra points of positivity holiday shoppers are sure to enjoy. Eager to add a little extra encouragement? Add a coupon or loyalty card to bring them back after the holiday season.
