Introduction

As many cities are experiencing second and third waves of Covid-19 cases, online shopping and online ordering for food continue to be in high demand. Here are a few upcoming online shopping and eating periods to look out for!

Festive Period 1 - Halloween Treats

The time to say “Trick or Treat” ushers in the festive season. Home-made treats take the front seat this year during Halloween with the surge of online selling. Singapore-based Bakerlette is introducing a Halloween Cheesecake and Brownie Bundle.

The package is delivered complimentary through a dash service (4-hour delivery window) to ensure that products are delivered fresh.

Festive Period 2 - Double 11.11 Sale

Double 11 (11.11. Or 11 Nov), a.k.a Singles’ Day Festival is a global shopping festival that was introduced by Alibaba in 2009. Since it’s phenomenal boom in China, major e-commerce platforms and retailers have adopted it as one of their strategies to boost sales.

Singles’ Day is a great way to check out creative bundles, offers, packaging and price points to win consumers’ hearts and wallets, which in turn increases consumer lifetime value to brands. It is also a good idea to slash prices and offer complimentary delivery service for your e-commerce store. The sooner you decide what products you want to focus on sales, the sooner you can start promoting them. Not only will this create a buzz around your offers, but it will also help you to prepare for logistical issues.

Festive Period 3 - Double 12.12 Sale

If you missed out on Singles’ Day sales, Double 12 may just be your best chance to grab and save for your holiday gift giving spree.

Make sure you are available to answer to customer queries. If you don’t already have one, think about offering a live chat function or a virtual reality app for your customers to put on the products.It is also essential to have bespoke dash service (tailored customised luxurious courier service) to ensure that your products will always be delivered at high quality and precision. Instead of having your customers wait at the shop, have your luxurious products delivered to their doorstep.

Festive Period 4 - Christmas

2020 may have left you off the balance but that’s nothing a cookie cannot fix! Whiskdom spreads cheer with a curated selection of the classic chocolate chip and seasonal peppermint cookies. These sweet treats are Santa approved and guaranteed to spread the holiday cheer.

The most important thing to remember over the Christmas period is making sure you have a reliable and trusted logistics partner to handle the demand. Not only will this ensure a more relaxed Christmas period for your business, but it will also give you a better control over your logistics spending.

Festive Period 5 - Countdown

Countless glasses and bottles will be raised in great cheer for the holidays despite restrictions. This year, you may want to try the taste of beer made from bread.

Far-fetched idea, right?

Not really, Crust Brewery has perfected its recipe making its brew available. Time to try something new, unique and definitely a conversation starter. Given that there will be a surge in demand during gifting seasons, providing frequent and proactive delivery updates is an important way to inform customers of any delays. Travelhorse customer service team will be there to handle any change in delivery schedule. Our dash heroes are trained to provide real time updates of the product.
