What is everyone doing to make Cyber Week fun this year? Here are a few examples from our teams and clients at Momentum Commerce: 1️⃣ The President of one of our very large brand clients chimed in our shared Slack channel with "Amazon is ripping right now. That deserves an MC Hammer". Even though most of our account team of "MCs" are too young to know MC Hammer, you better believe they are ready to 'hammer dance" through a brick wall for this client now. 2️⃣ The CCO of another one of our brands offered our account team free product if we can beat Nov and Dec revenue goals by more than 10%. This brand sells an absolutely amazing luxury product and the team just beat Nov goal by 65%! 3️⃣ Our whole client services team was online on Thanksgiving, Black Friday and most of this past weekend. I hate that this is necessary in our line of work - but its been amazing to see how the team rallies and motivates each other. One small example is that they are running a competition on emoji use in Slack and the current leader is at 572 emojis used since Thanksgiving. Positive reinforcement, competition and having fun are such important ingredients to a successful Cyber Week in eCommerce. Happy Cyber Monday everyone - remember to treat your eCommerce teams with the love, appreciation and respect they deserve! Will be back with our T-12 wrap up tomorrow morning. The numbers are looking super strong across the board!
