Start planning early
The best holiday seasons are planned months ahead. AI can help you create a timeline covering inventory decisions, promotion dates, staffing, and marketing, starting well before the first holiday shoppers arrive.
Gift guides
Gift guides help shoppers who don't know what to buy. AI can help you organize products into guides like gifts for hosts, teachers, coworkers, or kids, and write short descriptions for each item.
Promotion calendar
- Early shopping events
- Small business shopping days
- Last-minute gift promotions
- After-holiday sales and gift card redemptions
AI can draft emails, social posts, and in-store signs for each.
Prepare your staff
Holiday shoppers ask lots of questions. AI can help create quick reference sheets about bestsellers, gift wrapping, and return policies so seasonal staff can answer confidently.
Gift wrapping and services
If you offer gift wrapping, shipping, or personalization, make sure customers know about it. AI can help write signs and online notices.
Clear holiday policies
Extended return periods and shipping deadlines should be easy to find. AI can help write clear explanations.
Review afterward
After the season, ask AI to help you organize notes on what sold, what didn't, and what you'd change. Those notes become the starting point for next year's plan.
