If you are an e-commerce marketer make sure to build your Q4 plan early because that is where the money is going to be spent! It is also important to consider how people will give gifts this year. Online services might see a larger lift in seasonality as consumers gift things like entertainment streaming services, in-home fitness subscriptions, and food delivery.
