Here, CrowdHandler’s “catch-all” waiting rooms are ideal. Customers won’t see these waiting rooms, but they will monitor all incoming traffic and activate only when needed. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than your website going down.

If you’re a mid-sized e-retailer, you might be running discounts over the whole Black Friday period. Moreover, this is likely a big part of your annual sales, and you can’t afford for your website to go down.

With doorbusters, CrowdHandler doesn’t just help to handle the increase in traffic – it’s an essential part of the process. Last year, BÉIS ran sixteen flash sales over the four-day Black Friday period using Crowdhandler to coordinate and control these drops.

For smaller, more niche retailers, the Black Friday season is a great opportunity to engage fans and loyal customers. One way to do this is with a “doorbuster” sale. A doorbuster sale is a limited-time, limited-stock sale where you sell small volumes of goods at a heavy discount.

…it’s also a good opportunity to keep prospective consumers engaged even when they can’t immediately make a purchase. One way to do this is to link your best deals on the waiting room page. Not only does this keep visitors occupied, but it encourages them to wait for these deals.
