ActiveCampaign Highlights Ecommerce Customers within the 2022 Gift Guide

It’s been a wild year of high interest rates and increased cost of goods, and even with economic uncertainty looming in the headlines, 96% of retailers expect their sales to increase over the holiday period. Why? Because people spend more during the holidays. And businesses using ActiveCampaign have a built-in competitive advantage in capturing a share of that holiday traffic using Customer Experience Automation (CXA).

In addition to creating more personalized experiences for their customers, CXA has been shown to create real business impact for growing companies. In times with high inflation and increased cost of goods, businesses can edge out their competition through these personal touches.

In fact, in a recent survey, we found consumers want to support small businesseseven offering to pay more for the same products.

To better support small businesses, every year we highlight participating ActiveCampaign ecommerce customers in our annual Active Campaign Customer Gift Guide. The guide features a curated list of some of the most interesting and unique ecommerce businesses we could find. We’re featuring just a few of those businesses in this article to give you just a sample of what you’ll find in this year’s Gift Guide.

Purchase with purpose

One of my favorite clothing and jewelry ecommerce customers is Made for Freedom. But they’re more than an online clothing store: Made for Freedom partners with centers around the world that are providing dignified employment for survivors of human trafficking and marginalized situations.

Just as Made for Freedom goes beyond a typical online store, they use automations that go beyond typical marketing emails, using ActiveCampaign to connect volunteers with opportunities to support the Made for Freedom mission.

Made for Freedom offers a wide range of gift ideas, supporting organizations from around the world

Don’t forget the bubbly

If you’re in search of a unique bottle of bubbly for the office party, a gift, or to finish off your holiday table, you must check out the varieties of champagnes Avid Vines offers. Their curated selections are from the best owner-growers from the Champagne region in France, taking you beyond what’s ubiquitous and mass-marketed.

When Avid Vines onboarded with ActiveCampaign, their goals included creating a sales and marketing flow that enabled them to engage on more channels and easily identify resellers, restaurants, and consumers. Today, Avid Vines stays connected with its clients and resellers using CXA to create a personalized journey, so each contact continues to receive a personalized touch.

Did we mention that Avid Vines also has a wine club? Well, they do, and what a great gift that would make!
