A Quick Thought About Selling During Black Friday & Christmas
With Black Friday and Christmas coming up, this time of year naturally gives new sellers a real advantage. The amount of people searching, shopping, and buying increases so much that even beginners can get traction faster than usual. I’ve been paying attention to how things move during this season, and honestly, a lot of the “hard parts” of online selling become easier right now because the platforms are already busy. Here’s why this Black Friday + Christmas period helps new sellers: .Traffic rises everywhere — search pages, recommended feeds, and product categories fill up with shoppers .People buy quicker because they’re trying to finish gift shopping before prices change .Even small or new sellers get more visibility since buyers explore more options during the holidays .Products move faster because gift shopping covers a wide range of categories .Bundles sell better, so one customer can end up buying multiple items .Shoppers compare less — if something solves their need, they just buy it .Platforms push seasonal content, which gives sellers more natural exposure You don’t need a perfect store or complicated marketing right now. The season itself does a lot of the work by bringing motivated buyers to the platform. If anyone is planning to start a Shopify store, try eBay reselling, or list on Vinted before the holiday rush hits full speed, this is honestly the easiest moment to begin. A few smart adjustments or the right product choices can make a big difference during these weeks.
