Gifts that arrive before the day.

Gift buyers shop to a date, and a late parcel loses the customer. We plan the year around the gift calendar, put the last order date in every ad, and give stationery fans a reason to come back between the dates.

In short

How do you market a gift or stationery store online?

Plan the year around the gift dates and make every order arrive in time. We raise budgets ahead of each date, put order-by dates and gift sets on the page, run unboxing ads made for phones, write gift guides by person and budget, and remind buyers before the next date. Stationery fans hear first about new ranges.

The hard part

Why gift and stationery stores stall.

Gift buyers shop for a date and for someone else. Stationery fans buy for themselves, again and again. Most stores sell to only one of them.

  1. 01

    A year squeezed into a few dates

    Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and graduations bring the big weeks, and every store bids for the same days.

    In your numbers

    Most of the year’s revenue lands in a handful of weeks.

  2. 02

    Doubts at the deadline

    Will it arrive in time? Can it go straight to them? When the page doesn’t say, last-minute buyers go to a marketplace.

    In your numbers

    Sales fall away days before each date.

  3. 03

    Small baskets, big shipping

    A card or a notebook rarely covers its own delivery. Without gift sets or a reason to add more, small orders lose money.

    In your numbers

    Many orders hold a single low-price item.

  4. 04

    Fans who hear nothing

    Stationery buyers collect: the new range, the refill, the next colour. Without a list that hears about them first, every launch starts from zero.

    In your numbers

    New ranges sell slowly in their first week.

The plays

The plays we run in gifts and stationery.

Five plays we start with. Each one is a test with a number, read every Monday.

Budgets rise in the weeks before each gift date, the last order day goes in the listing, and spend stops when it passes.
