What worked: the early-access list, and the Buy 2 Get 1 bundle (AOV up 34%).
What didn’t: TikTok ads (spend with almost no sales).

January plan

  1. Welcome flow for the 156 new customers with a care guide + 10% off their 2nd order

  3. Pause TikTok and move that budget to email growth

Getting better results

Decide the offer before writing anything. A bundle or gift with purchase often protects margin better than a straight discount. The first prompt helps you compare options.

Build an early-access list. Shoppers who sign up before the sale convert best. Start teasing 5–7 days before.

Put Christmas delivery cut-offs everywhere. From Black Friday to mid-December, “arrives before Christmas” is often the biggest selling point.

Boxing Day is a different mood. People are relaxed and browsing. Lean into clearance, self-treats and “spend your gift cards”.
