The Slice October

September’s Go Lives

It wouldn’t be a normal month for us without a go live to talk about. In fact, we’re almost averaging one go live a week as we head into Q4.

We’ve kept it rolling this month, with three new eCommerce sites going live. Each one has its own unique story to tell, with equestrian supplies retailer Equiport undertaking a migration to Shopify, mystery football shirt retailer Surprise Shirts undertaking a full brand uplift, and American shoe outlet store Peltz Shoes having all of the insights and optimisations of their Mobius Audit implemented and more.

Get more eyes on your site this Black Friday

Ok ok, we may have said that all things in eCommerce are interconnected, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make improvements to each aspect individually.

After all, getting those eyes on your site is important and there are some specific SEO considerations to be made over the Holiday Season. One of our latest blogs takes a direct look at this and gives five actionable steps that you can make to get more eyes on your website this Black Friday.

Keeping with the SEO theme, Account Directors Kieran Delpech & Katie Mellers-Hill, took a trip down to Google’s Retail Prepare for the Peak event to get all of the latest insights ahead of the holiday season.

There were some key takeaways that we’ll be finding ways to act upon over the next few weeks, both interesting and surprising including…

• “October has seen just as much customer demand as January over the past few years.”
• The average discount last Black Friday was found to be 26%
• The time between Black Friday and Christmas this year is the shortest since 2019, with Cyber Monday falling into December.
