My greatest suggestion would be to do your promoting as EARLY as possible.
The shipping time that some ECAs have for their products is over a month, to certain countries, usually to people not living in their own country. When many products at TripleClicks have free shipping for their products, though, this is to be expected.
Promote the ECAs that accept pick-ups - where buyers who live in that area can go and collect their products at the premises of the ECA, especially when time is running out to get one's gifts in time! Obviously try and geo-target market where possible - market the products of an ECA in a certain country to people living in that same country.
Or warn your potential PRMs that they may need to order as soon as possible in order to get their products on time for the gift-giving season. Do of course mention, though, that the delivery time may only be a bit long due to many products at TripleClicks having shipping included in their price (free shipping!)
Plan well in advance. Order some gift-giving season products for yourself too, now, and then late next year - not too late though!- you can show off these products to potential PRMs which may help entice them to order the same products.
Also mention how at TripleClicks they may be able to get an extra gift to give to somebody for free:
Tell them they will get Member Rewards Points when they purchase products at TripleClicks and that these Member Rewards Points can be saved up and then used to buy another gift!
Also tell them that they can get Member Rewards Points in other ways too - from using TCredits (that they may win!) on games or on auctions, and from maybe winning Member Rewards Points in the Daily Crown.
Also explain how they may win an auction and may be able to choose a gift certificate option instead of the item up for auction, and that they can use that gift certificate at TripleClicks or at another place like Amazon.
And be happy and excited in all your promotions. "Tis the season to be jolly, tra la-la-la-la la la; at TripleClicks your money goes faaaar."
