Happy Campers

Memorial day is about spending time with family preferably outside of the busy lifestyles that we live. Many people venture out into the backcountry for some old fashioned outdoor filled weekend of RV’ing or camping. Campgrounds across the country will be filled with outdoor enthusiasts.

Camping is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the United States, whether it is in a tent at a campground, a recreational vehicle or even just the backyard. – Statista

Relaxation

Some prefer to stay locally and enjoy the beauty of their hometown with their family and friends. Help your customers to decorate their homes by offering Memorial Day themed products (blankets, drinkware, towels, and wall flags).

Free Shipping

Free shipping is a standard pricing model to catch the eye of a customer. In the competitive market place, it is inevitable to market anything less.
When you offer free shipping make sure to crunch the numbers to make sure you can afford to do so.

Gen X (aged 38-53), Millennials (aged 22-37), and Gen Z (aged 18-21), however, have a more collaborative view. All three generations expressed a willingness to share personal data with merchants in exchange for free shipping and/or product discounts. – BigCommerce 

Here is a simple 4-step list on how to set your prices so you can continue to be profitable with your business.

Sporting Events

As our culture continues to pay more attention to health, we foresee more people enjoy active lifestyles in many ways. Memorial running races are one of the most common ways to honor the men and women who served our country.
Many Memorial Day runs are held for a benefit of charities or as a fundraiser to current military families.
As an online seller, you have untapped options to design race artwork that everyone will love.

Red, White & Blue

Red, white, and blue is a popular color combination that we continue to see throughout every American holiday. These colors are easily recognizable and understood during patriotic holidays.

Remember, Memorial Day is a day that is first and foremost meant to honor the fallen, those who have given their lives for our country. We would suggest advertising a few weeks prior to the holiday. On an actual day, post an honorary image, GIF, or video in honor of those who served.
