It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and to help
retailers make the most of this time of year, Google has released a
comprehensive online behaviour trends report for the holiday season with tips
for better reaching consumers.Here are a few highlights from its data to help you prepare
your e-commerce website for the busy Christmas shopping period…
Price matters… It should come as no surprise to learn that Christmas shoppers are extremely price conscious. Google data shows that search volume for the ‘best deals’ has grown 90% while shoppers say that price is the number one deciding factor. They will search for the retailer with the lowest price of product after deciding what it is they want to buy. As does other perks When finalising your seasonal sales strategy, it’s important that you don’t focus on price above all else. While that was the number one decision maker or breaker, shoppers also look at other ways to get value for money or perks for their custom. Google says offers such as free delivery are also important. Discounts such as sales offers, seasonal promotions and the speed of delivery also matter. These things don’t sway shoppers Some things don’t sway shoppers to buy from you at Christmas. Google’s data says things like being located in the same country as the retailer, product warranties, loyalty programmes and reviews from family members are the least important factors for shoppers. If you are better than the competition, shout about it Performing competitor research takes on new significance during the holiday shopping season. Knowing what prices they are selling at, what shipping options they offer and what their festive offers and promotions are can help you to pinpoint where you can offer more. If you can beat a competitor says Google, tell people. Know your buyer behaviour Google has identified characteristics of shoppers from around the world in its behavioural trends report. Study this data so you can tailor your sales and digital marketing strategies. US and UK shoppers exhibit similar patterns for example, with both placing a high value on low cost and fast, free delivery.Ensure your product descriptions are suitably detailed, as both of these sets of shoppers also like to see specs such as battery life.Google also says you should aim to offer an expected delivery date and be generous with discount codes, vouchers and offers.

For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
