BigCommerce reaches Mid-market sellers doing $100K+/year in revenue. Here are the tactics that separate successful sellers from the rest.
BigCommerce natively connects to Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping from one dashboard. Manage all channels without duplicate listings.
Built into all plans. Automatically emails customers who abandon carts. Recovers 5–15% of otherwise-lost revenue.
Unlike Shopify (which charges 0.5–2% unless you use Shopify Payments), BigCommerce never charges transaction fees on any plan. For high-volume sellers, this saves thousands per year.
Quality Assurance
Our team optimizes every print — you focus on selling.
Personalization is the entire value proposition. Build your design around a customizable element — names, dates, coordinates, photos, initials.
Gift items need to photograph beautifully in natural light. Use light-colored filaments (white, cream, wood) for gift products — they look premium in photos.
Design gift boxes or packaging inserts. Unboxing experience dramatically increases perceived value — a $20 item in a custom box feels like a $40 gift.
Seasonal timing: Valentine's (Feb), Mother's Day (May), Father's Day (Jun), weddings (May–Oct), and Christmas (Nov–Dec) drive 60% of personalized gift sales.
Offer rush processing in your listing. Gifts are often last-minute. A "rush delivery" upsell adds $5–$15 for essentially the same fulfillment speed.
