Ecommerce Hacks To Learn While on Vacation

When was your last vacation as an eCommerce business owner?

Online stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Online business owners don’t really take a break – and they bring their work with them everywhere they go.

 

  • Statistics
  • One in five small business owners actually feels guilty about taking a vacation and stepping away from their businesses.

 

 

But research shows that taking a vacation can give you numerous health benefits that not only improve your overall well-being but also the performance of your business.

We know you love your business; you wouldn’t be hustling so hard if you didn’t. But occasionally stepping away from work is an important part of building a sustainable company.

And your business will still be there when you get back. Beyond that, you’ll be in a much better frame of mind to take your business to the next level.

Why do business owners need to take regular breaks?

Everybody loves taking some time off.  No one needs to convince you that vacations are fun. If fun isn’t a good enough reason for you, here are some other benefits of getting away.

 

  • Rest and relaxation are vital for our mental and physical health (aka reduce blood pressure and stress hormone levels, can help reset unhealthy sleep patterns, etc.)
  • Vacations improve your creativity and even though there’s a limit to our brainpower, with more frequent breaks, you’ll be able to solve problems better and faster.
  • Vacations can be good for your brand because letting people know you’re taking a well-earned break shows that you put a high priority on work-life balance.

 

 

Although you’ll be enjoying your time off, your website still needs to go to work!

Before Vacation

One of the perks you’re supposed to enjoy of being an entrepreneur is setting your own schedule and the freedom to take time off when you need it. But, you still need a little preparation to do that.

 

  1. Plan well in advance. So that your site can continue to bring in sales and keep customers happy and you’ll be able to truly relax while your Magento / Shopify / WooCommerce store continues to work hard for you! you can prepare for any issues even before they happen.
  2. Delegate what you can.
  3. Automate your social media tasks.

 

While you’re on vacation

Pulling your attention away from your business long enough to relax can be tough, especially during your first vacation after you launch your business.

But, you shouldn’t feel guilty about taking time off. And it’s up to you what to choose: 

 

Variant 1. Check your email and e-commerce website occasionally

If you worry about your business threatening to spoil your break, you can check your email and website from time to time. BUT set a limit to this!!

 

Variant 2. Unplug completely

Going totally offline is the vacation ideal. Most of us don’t come close to achieving the no-email-on-vacation goal, because we’re all secretly afraid we’ll miss a one-in-a-million crisis and come back to chaos, but we can get closer to totally unplugging with practice.

 

 

 

 

If you CAN’T HELP BUT WANT to combine business with pleasure:

 

1. Bring your brand on vacation with you

It depends on your business, but sometimes you can bring your brand on vacation with you to use it on a more personal level and encourage more engagement!
