𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻: The Real Work Starts Now! Turn Holiday Shoppers into Year-Round Customers

BFCM brought in the sales. But what you do next will make or break your 2025. The difference between stores that see one big spike and stores that grow all year long? It's how you treat customers after they buy.

This week we're featuring Or Schreiber, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Dondy, who saw a big shift in how merchants connected with customers during the holiday season and shares what's working to keep shoppers engaged through December and into the new year.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻:
"We saw brands move away from email and SMS and go all-in on WhatsApp. What used to feel risky now feels like the future. But here's what really worked: the best campaigns didn't just send messages and stop. They used AI to keep the conversation going—answering questions, recommending products based on what customers looked at, and helping people make decisions in real time. That's what drove more sales."

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆:
Don't let the relationship end after the purchase. Your job now is to turn those Black Friday shoppers into customers who come back. Use what you know, what they bought, what they asked about, to send helpful follow-ups. Check in on them, offer support, suggest things that go well with their order. Make it feel like a conversation, not a sales pitch. That's how holiday buyers become year-round customers.

A big thank you to Or Schreiber for these insights!

The 80/20 rule is a fact of business. 📊

In your affiliate program, a handful of your partners are driving the majority of your sales.

But if you're paying them the same flat rate as everyone else, you've created an invisible ceiling on their ambition.

Why should they push harder if their reward stays the same?

Your top performers see no difference between selling 10 units and 100 units. 🤔

So they coast. They plateau. They quietly start promoting someone else's brand—one that actually rewards growth.

You're losing momentum from the partners who matter most.

Some brands try the obvious fix: manually adjusting commissions when someone hits a milestone.

But here's the problem: it's reactive, inconsistent, and impossible to scale.

Your best affiliates don't want to beg for recognition. They want a system that rewards them automatically.

We are obsessed with shattering that ceiling.

That's why we built Auto-Tier Commissions—a growth ladder for your best partners.

It gamifies performance, creating a clear and motivating path for them to earn more as they sell more.

Hit 20 sales? Jump to 12% commission. Hit 50? Unlock 15%. No manual approvals. No delays. Just automatic recognition for results.

This isn't just theory. 🚀

The team at Favormart used this exact strategy to drive over $822,580 in affiliate revenue in just 9 months.

That same potential is sitting dormant in your program right now—trapped behind flat-rate commissions that reward mediocrity and punish excellence.

Imagine what your top partners could achieve if you gave them a clear reason to push harder.

More sales from your best affiliates.

Higher engagement across your entire network.

A self-reinforcing cycle where performance creates motivation, and motivation creates more performance.

When you remove the ceiling, you unlock their full potential.

Your top performers scale. Your program grows. Your revenue compounds.

It's time to find out what they're really capable of. 👇

Your customer is 30 seconds from buying. 💳

Then they see your discount field at checkout.

And everything changes. 🚨

They open a new tab.

Type "your brand name + coupon code" into Google.

Suddenly, they're staring at your competitor's retargeting ad.

A coupon site promising 40% off (with a code that expired last year).

A Reddit thread debating whether your product is even worth it.

On average, if customers spend 60 seconds away from your checkout, you've lost the sale.

Burned your ad spend, and gained zero insight into what went wrong. 📉

Most brands know this problem exists.

So they try the "smart" fix: one-time-use coupon generators attached to discount links.

It sounds clever. ✨

Unique codes. Some tracking. A little more control.

But here's the flaw: your customer still sees that code at checkout.

They still pause. 🤔

They still wonder, "Is there a better deal out there? Should I keep looking?"

That hesitation? It kills conversions.

The real issue isn't offering discounts.

It's showing customers an empty discount field that screams "You might be overpaying." 🔴

UpPromote takes a different approach: eliminate the discount code entirely. 🎯

Here's how it works.

Your affiliate shares a tracking link.

The customer clicks it.

They land on your site with the discount already applied, with no visible code.

No code to hunt for.

No mock-up code taunting them.

No reason to second-guess. ✅

They see the final price at checkout, they buy.

And you capture every piece of data—who referred them, what they purchased,
and exactly how much that partnership is worth.

The result?
✅ No cart abandonment from code hunters.

✅ No mystery discounts eating into your margins.

✅ No wasted ad spend on customers who wandered off into the coupon wilderness.

Just clean, trackable, friction-free conversions. 🚀

When you remove the discount field from the equation, you remove the exit door.

Your customers stay. Your conversions close. Your affiliates get credited.

Has the "discount code hunt" cost you sales? 👇
