Summer Sales 2025: Leverage Winter Insights for a Successful Season

The winter sales set the stage: when well-prepared, online retailers can turn this key period into a real growth driver. Our merchants saw +67% more orders and a +74% increase in revenue compared to 2024 — proof that in sales season, strategy and preparation make all the difference

With summer sales kicking off on June 25, now is the time to apply the lessons learned from winter and adopt the right approach. Because sales aren’t just about discounts — they’re high-stakes events that deserve precise planning and smart automation.

 

What Winter Sales Taught Us

The figures speak for themselves:

  • 1,658 merchants used Shoppingfeed’s Sales Assistant
  • 2.28 million orders processed
  • €191 million in revenue generated

These results can be explained by:

  • Better catalog structuring ahead of time
  • Smooth multichannel distribution
  • Smart use of product data

The most successful merchants were those who planned their offers in advance, automated their feed management, and adjusted their strategy along the way.

 

Summer Sales: 4 Strategic Levers to Boost Your Performance

Based on our analysis of the winter sales, user feedback, and e-commerce best practices, here are the four most effective levers to succeed this summer:

1. Plan Early, Adjust Quickly

Start building your campaigns 2 to 3 weeks in advance. Clean up your catalogs, apply pricing rules, segment your products by channel… and stay agile throughout the sales period.

2. Optimize Each Channel

Each platform has its own rules (filters, visuals, pricing formats, logistics, etc.). Use Shoppingfeed to automatically customize your feeds and maximize offer relevance per channel.

3. Focus on Best-Sellers and Dormant Stock

Use historical data (e.g., from last winter) to identify the best products to push. Also identify unsold or end-of-cycle items to clear through smart, targeted rules.

4. Track Performance and Adjust in Real Time

Thanks to Shoppingfeed’s integrated tools, you can monitor how your products perform across channels (clicks, impressions, conversion rates, ROI…) and adjust your actions instantly, with support from your Account Manager — a key partner in maximizing your performance with marketplaces.

 

Best Practices to Keep in Mind

According to our resources and client feedback, here are the key practices to adopt :

  • Optimize your product titles and descriptions
  • Ensure strikethrough pricing complies with platform rules
  • Prepare high-quality promotional visuals
  • Activate dynamic rules (stock, margins, exclusions)
  • Analyze each action to improve the next ones
