Hey everyone 👋 With Christmas coming up fast, I’ve been trying to test a few new product ideas to take advantage of the seasonal spike… but honestly, it feels like a gamble right now. Some products look like they’ll explode during Q4, but when I run test ads, the results are all over the place. A few good clicks, some adds to cart here and there, but nothing consistent enough to scale. I’m curious how others here approach this period because I don’t want to: Waste money testing products too late. Miss out on trends by moving too slowly Or pick a product that can’t even be delivered on time 😭. For those who’ve been through multiple Q4 cycles… 👉 What’s your strategy when it comes to testing new products before Christmas? Do you start early? Test aggressively? Stick to proven winners? Or look for last-minute trend spikes? Really hoping to hear how others navigate this because every decision feels like a hit or miss right now.

Hey everyone 👋 I’ve been noticing a pattern in my store lately. I’m getting quite a good number of visitors adding products to their carts, but they never actually complete the purchase. I’ve been thinking of testing a few follow-up strategies, but I wanted to get some feedback from other experienced store owners here. Here’s what I had in mind: Send a reminder email or message the next day after they add to cart, just to remind them their product is still waiting. On the second day, offer a small incentive, maybe a discount or free shipping to encourage checkout. If they still don’t complete the purchase, I was thinking of sending a weekend discount (20–30%) to make it more appealing. Do you think this is too much follow-up or just enough to nudge them? And what’s been working best for you all in recovering abandoned carts? Would love to hear how others handle this.
