The coronavirus pandemic is forcing eCommerce businesses to rethink the store’s UI, design, and make some sparking development for the upcoming events and activities in the holiday haul. In short, make room for the shoppers who strictly maintain distance and avoid public places for the holiday celebration.
Adapting to restricted travel, increased online shopping, and families not getting together as normal means mapping tactics and navigating campaigns where they are: at home. It means spending more on digital platforms. Your eCommerce store needs a makeover before the Black Friday sale and you being a holidaymaker can plan its design well in advance.
Holiday prep includes website decoration, applying attractive colorful themes, banners with greetings, and promotional coupons that can drive them crazy. To convert window shoppers, fun elements like a gamified fortune wheel popup will work. You can even sell custom products on your store with unique designs, personalized gift ideas, or offer gift cards to indecisive buyers who want to give something to their loved ones.
In this article I will be focusing on two modules: The Spin and Win Fortune Wheel and The Store Decoration Module that can give your boring eCommerce website pages a striking look and impactful design.
1. Add Fun Element!
To compete, eCommerce businesses do everything to stand out from the crowd. There are options to design the store without taking the developer’s help. So, you can make impactful adjustments and changes in the pages even if you are a code freezer. Add some pocket-friendly playful modules to your online store and give a customer-centric design to it.
A Gamification popup during holidays will not only increase customer engagement but also delivers an amazing shopping experience.
Games are always attractive and proven to be the best for customer engagement. An entry popup with a gamified interface like Spin and Win can straight away gives a better customer experience to the visitors.

4. Ideas to set up header and footer for holidays
Be it any festival or occasion, you can set images, GIFs on the header, and footer of your website pages. Like for Christmas, you can either add a x-mas tree, decoration elements with bows and bells to the header, and something more attractive to the footer.
The Website Decoration effect module has several templates or you can upload customized images to it. Also, random elements can be displayed on your website that will add more festivity to their appearance and design.

Sales, discounts, and deals are game-changers when it comes to online shopping. You can always show a promotional coupon bar on the footer of the landing page or other pages using the versatile Website Decoration effects module without hampering the website design.
And, the Spin and Win Module allows users to grab exciting deals when they through their luck on it. The fortune wheel displays discount coupons, codes, or text messages on the slices.
