Push Marketing for Shopify Stores: Wedding Season Promotions

This means that merchants have the opportunity to tap into different needs that wedding shoppers have and incentivize their products to pull these customers to their store.

It’s crucial to understand who your wedding audience is- this could be brides and grooms shopping for their own weddings, or it could be friends and family shopping wedding gifts for the couple. By understanding this, you can use specific keywords and tones to target the audience that is more likely to buy from you.
- Use Pinterest to cater to the brides and wedding goers.
These days, Pinterest is almost synonymous with wedding planning. According to a study, 40 million people turn to Pinterest every year for guidance across the wedding planning journey. That’s a massive audience that store owners can activate.
Get started with Pinterest and start pinning your products, keeping the audience in mind. For instance, if you sell flowers or bridal dresses, you can target brides specifically by using keywords like ‘Bridal Inspiration’ and pining relevant products within the board.
On the other hand, if your products include crafts, skincare accessories, or gift hampers, creating Pin boards named ‘Perfect Wedding Gifts’ would help you reach wedding-goers.
- Create a collection on your store specifically for wedding shoppers
Shoppers aren’t as patient. With so much information on the internet, it’s important to ensure you have all the relevant information in one place. By curating a collection specifically for MATRIMONIALS SOLUTION, shoppers are more likely to stick with your store.
Just like Pinterest, you can put your products in collections labeled for different purposes and with different audiences in mind- from brides, grooms, and wedding trinkets, to wedding gifts.
