1. Start Early and Expand Your Sales Window
Shopify’s Black Friday checklist shows that ecommerce sales often begin two weeks before BFCM weekend. By launching campaigns earlier, you capture pre-rush shoppers and have time to test your Kickflip configurators, pricing logic, and inventory readiness.
Timeline recommendation:
Begin planning 2–3 months in advance.
Kickflip users should build and test customizers now, gather user feedback, and finalize logic by October.
Extend your promotions into December, as many customers continue shopping beyond Cyber Monday.
Mobile first: In 2024, 81 percent of holiday shoppers planned to shop on mobile (Statista). Kickflip themes are mobile responsive, so your configurator will adapt automatically. Use the Theme Editor to preview mobile layouts.
2. Identify Winning Products and Personalization Opportunities
Analyze Product Data
Use sales reports from Shopify, WooCommerce, or your Ecommerce (or even an ERP if you have such a tool) to spot top performers and dead stock. Discount slow movers aggressively while adding modest incentives to best sellers.
Kickflip integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix, ensuring product and pricing data stay in sync.
Decide What to Customize
Customers now expect personalization across text, images, and materials. Kickflip supports these options out of the box:
Text and fonts: Add names, slogans, or gift messages with multiple font styles.
Image uploads: Let customers add logos or personal images and preview them.
Materials and colors: Offer swatches and finishes with real-time visual updates.
Real-time previews: Show instant updates with multiple angles.
Bundle Accessories and Upsells
Use Kickflip’s multi-component products and bulk ordering to create bundles (for example, a custom bag with straps or shoes with laces). Bundles increase average order value and simplify checkout.

3.2 Pricing Strategy
Kickflip supports base and extra prices, pricing equations, bulk pricing, and relative pricing.
Extra prices: Add surcharges for upgrades (for example, embroidery + $15).
Equations: Calculate dynamic pricing (for example, price = width × length × material rate).
Bulk pricing: Offer tiered discounts (for example, 2–10 units at $100, 11–20 at $90).
Relative pricing: Display incremental costs (+$20 for leather) to highlight value.
See the pricing options guide for step-by-step setup.
3.3 Guided Customization With Logic
Kickflip’s Logic feature prevents invalid combinations and guides customers through complex products.
Block conflicts (e.g., material A cannot pair with finish B).
Show or hide questions dynamically.
Streamline journeys by hiding irrelevant fields.
3.4 Configure Price Quote (CPQ)
For high-ticket or B2B products, Kickflip’s CPQ add-on replaces “Add to cart” with “Get a Quote.” This is especially effective for BFCM shoppers exploring expensive, customizable items.
Features:
Optional hidden pricing until quote submission
Convert quotes directly into your ecommerce
Learn more in the CPQ documentation.
3.5 Inventory and Fulfillment Preparation
Start inventory planning 2–3 months ahead. Sync stock levels across Shopify, WooCommerce, or Wix with Kickflip’s integrations to avoid overselling customizable SKUs.
4. Marketing and Promotions
4.1 Craft Irresistible Offers
Shopify recommends creating “jaw-dropping deals” for BFCM. Combine them with customization:
Limited-time custom bundles
Tiered bulk discounts
Free personalization (engraving or gift wrapping in the first 24 hours)
4.2 Personalized Campaigns
Make sure your campaigns are personalized and that you’re promoting on different platform like email, SMS, and social:
Retarget abandoned customizations
Highlight user-generated content
Offer exclusive early access for loyalty members

4.3 Optimize Site Performance
Page speed directly impacts conversion. Google research shows bounce rates increase sharply with slow load times. Test Kickflip customizers with PageSpeed Insights and make sure your store can handle peak traffic.
5. Post-Sale Actions and Repeat Business
BFCM is not just about weekend revenue. It is also an opportunity to turn seasonal shoppers into long-term customers.

Follow up on quotes: Use Kickflip’s status tracking to close open quotes.
Encourage reviews and referrals: Customers who design unique products are more likely to recommend your store.
Loyalty offers: Provide points or codes for future purchases to bring back BFCM shoppers.
Analyze results: Review conversion data and order flows in Kickflip’s analytics to refine for 2026.
