The Post-Christmas Sales Rush

The day after Christmas marks the start of the biggest sale season of the year. Your graphics need to cut through the noise and drive conversions.

Sale Design Psychology

What Drives Urgency

Effective sale graphics use:

  • Scarcity: "Limited time" "While supplies last"

  • Exclusivity: "VIP access" "Early bird"

  • Clear savings: Specific percentages and amounts

  • Countdown elements: Time-sensitive offers
  • Color Psychology for Sales

    Red: Urgency, excitement, action

    .sale-urgent { background: #e53935; }

    Yellow: Attention, optimism, deals

    .sale-highlight { background: #fdd835; color: #000; }

    Orange: Energy, enthusiasm, calls-to-action

    .sale-cta { background: #ff7043; }

    Black: Premium, exclusivity, sophistication

    .sale-premium { background: #212121; color: #fff; }

    Essential Sale Graphics

    1. Hero Banners

    Main website banner specs:

  • Desktop: 1920x600px minimum

  • Mobile: 750x1000px

  • SVG for text elements (crisp at any size)
  • Structure:

    [Discount %] + [Sale Name] + [Time Limit] + [CTA Button]

    2. Product Sale Tags

    Overlay graphics for products:

  • Circle badge: "50% OFF"

  • Starburst: "BEST DEAL"
  • SVG advantage: One file works at all product image sizes.

    3. Email Graphics

    Email header dimensions:

  • Width: 600px (email standard)

  • Format: SVG with PNG fallback
  • Tip: Keep total email images under 200KB for deliverability.

  • Designing Effective Sale Banners

    The Hierarchy of Information

    Order of importance:

  • 1. Discount amount (biggest, boldest)

  • 2. Sale name (Boxing Day, Year-End)

  • 3. Time limit (ends midnight, 24 hours only)

  • 4. CTA (Shop Now, Get Deal)
  • Typography Tips

    Do:

  • Use bold, sans-serif for discounts

  • Limit to 2 font families

  • Ensure readability at all sizes

  • High contrast text on backgrounds
  • Do Not:

  • Use decorative fonts for key info

  • Mix too many styles

  • Make text too small on mobile

  • Forget accessibility
  • Layout Best Practices

    Effective compositions:

  • F-pattern for web banners

  • Z-pattern for print materials

  • Center focus for social media

  • Clear visual hierarchy
  • Creating Vectors for Sales

    Use Vectosolve to convert:

  • Sale badges and stickers

  • Promotional icons

  • Brand elements with sale overlay

  • Product silhouettes for backgrounds
  • Why vectors for sales:

  • Scale to any banner size

  • Easy color changes for A/B testing

  • Animate for attention

  • Crisp on retina displays
  • Animation for Conversions

    Subtle animations increase engagement:

    Pulsing CTA


    .sale-button {
    animation: pulse 2s infinite;
    }
    @keyframes pulse {
    0%, 100% { transform: scale(1); }
    50% { transform: scale(1.05); }
    }

    Countdown Timer


    .countdown-digit {
    animation: flip 1s ease-in-out;
    }
    @keyframes flip {
    0% { transform: rotateX(0); }
    50% { transform: rotateX(90deg); }
    100% { transform: rotateX(0); }
    }

    Attention Badge


    .sale-badge {
    animation: shake 0.5s infinite;
    }
    @keyframes shake {
    0%, 100% { transform: rotate(-3deg); }
    50% { transform: rotate(3deg); }
    }

    A/B Testing Sale Graphics

    Test these elements:

  • Discount format: "50% OFF" vs "$50 OFF" vs "Half Price"
