2022 Holiday Readiness with Pereion Solutions and Acoustic Tealeaf

And just like that…the holiday season is right around the corner. While most consumers typically wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to begin their holiday shopping, many are getting a jump start this year as many stores offer pre-holiday promotions and because of rising costs and supply chain issues. That being said, now is an ideal time to ensure that your online business is optimized and ready for the influx of shoppers this holiday season!

To assist with holiday preparations, we have some tips and recommendations to help you prepare your Acoustic Tealeaf environment for peak program activities.

Acoustic Tealeaf Holiday Readiness Tips

Tip# 1 – Create a Holiday Readiness Plan

With the holiday shopping season gearing up, it is advantageous to put together a holiday readiness plan that is specific to your organization and have an idea of how you will be leveraging Tealeaf for peak performance activities. You will also want to make sure that you have:

• Determined what type of data you expect to gain from Tealeaf
• Implemented and tested all applicable events
• Set up business scorecards and dashboards for tracking your holiday business operations
• Decided if you will be extracting and archiving specific user sessions for future analysis

Tip# 2 – Identify anticipated CX challenges during the holidays

After you have put together a holiday business plan, you and your team may want to put together a list of potential CX challenges that you may encounter. This will help you strategize on how to best overcome these likely road blocks. Here are some things to consider:

• Data variations in trends and data peaks, especially during certain holiday campaigns and promotions
• Have a solid understanding when campaigns are released by your Marketing team to determine when to expect high volume online traffic
• Identify and adjust geography and industry thresholds and create alerts in consideration of acceptable holiday data peaks
• Ensure you have enough capacity for your environment to handle high volumes of site traffic

• Eventing
