With Christmas well on the way you should already be thinking about January and if and how you are going to do January sales. More and more businesses are getting on board with January sales and most companies have some sort of deal on during this time.

If you are in the ecommerce business then you will probably have already completed most of your Christmas sales, but soon after the big day Boxing Day / January sales start and you need to be quick to have a chance at competing against the other players in the market.

When you list items for sale on your website, they will often get indexed by the search engines such as Google within a few weeks, but you may find that this is too late to start to attract any customers and you may miss out on a huge opportunity. It is worth spending some time and get your products listed on Google Shopping, then when the prices change you can submit the list to them for them to quickly update.

Another way to get your pages picked up is to do paid for pay per click advertising to show that you have a sale on and perhaps to promote some of your top selling products.
