2. Make Money by Heading off a Headache.
Many people are anxious about the holidays because they don’t know what to give. Let’s say you have a children’s specialty book store. People who come to your site want and need guidance on what to give. Publish Gift Suggestions or offer suggestions via online chat.
3. Make Money by Saving Time.
At a bricks and mortar store, I saw an attractive gift at a good price. What made me buy was they had already pre-wrapped dozens of them. Just grab and go. How can you save your customers time? Offer Free gift wrapping and gift cards. Offer to ship to multiple addresses. Be sure to trumpet these timesavers on your site.

Offer a guarantee of on-time delivery. “Order by December 23rd for Guaranteed Delivery December 25.” Or offer a free Email Gift Card for the Last Last-Minute Shoppers that notifies the recipient a gift is on the way.
