18:25 - 18:55 Talk - Preparing for Black Friday
By Jordan Finneran at Pimsical
I know its early to talk Black Friday when it is still summer, but Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance (the 5Ps).
Having launched Black Fridays at some of the world’s biggest ecommerce brands, I’ve seen plenty of different Black Friday results: smooth days, what happens when it goes too well, when it goes badly and lot of the in between.
We will be discussing:
· What practical things you can do to help prepare your brands, apps, and agencies for Black Friday
· What metrics to watch out for during the sales
· How to handle sale spikes within Shopify limits
· To code freeze or not to code freeze
· Incident Response and on call
· Making it not just a sales event, but team building too!
