“Consumers are doing OK, they are not retrenching, but neither are they splurging. This sets us up for a better holiday-shopping season than the past few years. The recovery is on track, but remains lackluster.”
- Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets Inc.

competitors.• Create multiple versions.• Make every click count.
Be a Marketer
• Which sounds more compelling? $10 off or 20%?• There are different ways to market your value.• Customers still love free shipping (upgraded shipping).• Include Coupon codes in the Ad Copy.• Make sure you include any last minute shipping dates.• Force the customer to take action, create the intent.
Keyword Tips

incorporate deals and offers.• Use Search Query Reports weekly to find targeted traffic
and block out unwanted traffic.• Maximize Match Types.• “Gift Cards” popular category for last-minute shopping.
Keep Track of Your Inventory
• Look back to Q4 2009• Do you historically sell certain products faster than
others?• Be Agile; Create a campaign focused on top sellers for
easy management.• Have a plan in case you run out of inventory:
