These events are significant occasions for Muslims worldwide and often feature in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crimtan.com\/blog\/the-16-biggest-online-shopping-events-across-the-world-every-retailer-needs-to-know-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top 10<\/a>\u00a0most significant retail events of the year.\u00a0<\/p><p>Eid represents an excellent opportunity for e-commerce brands from various industries to optimise their online stores and marketing funnels to capture new audiences celebrating these holidays.<\/p><p>However, there are a few things sellers need to be mindful of when targeting new communities around the world. Firstly, the timing of Islamic holidays changes each year because they are tied to the lunar calendar. Plus, the times of the day people prefer to shop differ, often resulting in website conversion boosts of approximately\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/campaignme.com\/criteo-report-into-ramadan-e-commerce-finds-surge-in-late-night-shopping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">17%<\/a>\u00a0around 4 am each day during Ramadan, followed by dips in sales during the early evening.\u00a0<\/p><p>In addition, many customers shopping for Eid gifts are looking for traditional clothes, foods, and decorations \u2013 in keeping with the religious significance of the occasions. Therefore, e-commerce marketers need to alter their offerings to align with their customers&#8217; preferences (such as ensuring their products are Halal-certified) to attract the most sales.\u00a0<\/p><p>So, let&#8217;s cover effective ad campaigns, finding suitable suppliers and ensuring customers are satisfied at all times.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33553928 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33553928\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Give yourself time to plan your Eid campaigns<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bb8d4e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4bb8d4e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Like with other worldwide shopping events, preparing early will give you time to design and test your targeted ad campaigns, order extra inventory in time for Eid shoppers, and organise your fulfilment strategies ahead of the holiday.\u00a0<\/p><p>Here are some tips on preparing your store for the boost in demand for Eid-related products.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619ed470 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"619ed470\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Audience research<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbadbb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbadbb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Research the cultural and religious significance of Ramadan\/Eid and your target audience&#8217;s shopping habits and preferences.\u00a0<\/p><p>Traditional clothing and foods are good to explore to capture Muslim audiences.
