Monitor prices in real time to react intelligently

Monitor prices in real time to react intelligently

During Cyber Monday, prices shift constantly. Real-time visibility into market changes lets you adjust your pricing without improvisation. Continuous monitoring helps you understand trends, detect aggressive competitor moves and stay competitive without sacrificing profitability. The goal is to react quickly, but guided by data, not impulses.

Make strategic price adjustments instead of blanket discounts

Make strategic price adjustments instead of blanket discounts

You don’t need massive discounts to attract traffic. Most of the time, huge reductions only destroy margin without boosting conversion. Instead, identify key products where small, targeted adjustments can drive meaningful results. Analyzing demand, history and price sensitivity helps you decide what to change and what to leave untouched. Smart micro-adjustments beat reckless discounting every time.

Use bundles, measure impact and protect your brand

Bundles let you add value without slashing prices. They can raise average order value and improve perceived offer quality. But every price change needs to be measured: not all adjustments drive sales, and some simply reduce margin. Finally, brand infringements and counterfeit listings spike during high-traffic events. Protecting your brand is part of protecting your business results.
