Add links &#8211; with photos and description &#8211; to products that go together.&nbsp; For example, coffee beans and mugs, yoga mats and matching clothing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-screenshot\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?resize=1024%2C545&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Example of how to create holiday gift guides on your Jimdo website.\" class=\"wp-image-6579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?resize=1024%2C545&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?resize=300%2C160&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?resize=1536%2C817&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/create-gift-guides-jimdo.png?resize=714%2C380&amp;ssl=1 714w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Help your customers out by creating gift guides using Store Categories.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jimdo-alert\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Looking for more online store tips?

Creating a discount code like THANKYOU and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/custom-product-packaging\/\">including it in your product package<\/a> or in any emails to customers is a nice way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/turn-customers-into-brand-ambassadors\/\">encourage loyal repeat shoppers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on discount codes in your online store and the strategies behind them, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/discount-strategies\/\">How to Use Discount Strategies to Boost Sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Offer_free_shipping\"><\/span>6. Offer free shipping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers shopping for Christmas and holiday gifts have lots of online options, but usually not a lot of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great time for you to offer free shipping in your online store. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/shipping-costs-for-online-shop\/\">Free shipping has a lot of benefits,<\/a> even though it might cost you more upfront. But especially during the holidays, free shipping can be a deciding factor in a competitive marketplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In study after study of consumer behavior, online customers actively seek out free shipping, will spend more if it means qualifying for free shipping, and in many cases actually prefer free shipping to percentage discounts. To encourage larger orders, you can set a minimum to qualify for free shipping (say, free shipping on orders over $50). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, if most of your customers are in your neighborhood, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/local-pickup-feature\/\">set up free local pickup in your Jimdo online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Connect_your_shop_to_your_social_media_accounts\"><\/span>7. Connect your shop to your social media accounts&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a Jimdo customer, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/sell-on-social\/\">Facebook &amp; Instagram integration<\/a> to automatically sync your store products to your social media profiles. You can also use it to create hassle-free paid ads, seamlessly set up Facebook Pixel (the tool that lets you track the success of your Facebook ads) and retarget interested shoppers back to your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the easiest way to sell where people shop and help followers buy from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Reach_out_to_bloggers_writing_holiday_gift_guides\"><\/span>7. Reach out to bloggers writing holiday gift guides<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While your website is one of the best places to show off your products, remember to also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/promote-your-small-business\/\">get in touch with bloggers<\/a> who might be putting together gift guides. Now that you\u2019ve got your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/how-to-write-good-product-descriptions-for-online-store\/\">product descriptions<\/a> all set and looking spiffy, start sending links to bloggers as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to pitching, it really pays to do some homework. Bloggers are usually busy and inundated with requests, especially as Christmas approaches. The more you can customize your pitch to the blogger\u2019s interest and show that your product is perfect for their website and audience (and not just yours), the better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your pitch personal, and talk about what makes your product special. This is also where having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/product-photography-with-diy-light-box\/\">really good product photos<\/a> will pay off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it doesn\u2019t work out for the holidays, never fear\u2014starting a good relationship with bloggers now will pay off down the line if they feature you at some point next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Christmas can be a stressful time of year for shoppers and store owners alike.
