Using Website Personalization to Boost Holiday Engagement: A Look at Sports Obsession’s Festive Features

Alex Schupp • December 1, 2025

The holiday season is one of the busiest (and most competitive) times of the year for online businesses. With customers shopping earlier and expecting seamless digital experiences, brands need to find creative ways to stand out. One of the most effective (and easiest!) ways to do that is through website personalization.


At Crowd Digital Marketing, we build websites on Duda, a platform that gives us powerful personalization tools to tailor the browsing experience based on timing, behaviors, locations, and more. This season, we worked with one of our clients, Sports Obsession, to bring holiday excitement to their online store using Duda personalizations. Below, we’ll walk you through what personalizations are, how Sports Obsession uses them, and how your business can use the same strategies to elevate your website this holiday season.

What Are Duda Personalizations?

Duda personalizations allow you to show specific content to specific visitors based on rules you set. Think of them as small, strategic adjustments to your site that change what people see depending on:



  • The time of year
  • Visitor location
  • Device type
  • First-time vs. returning visitors
  • Behavior (time on page, number of visits, etc.)


It’s a simple yet powerful way to make your website feel more relevant, timely, and engaging—especially during the holidays.

How Sports Obsession Uses Holiday Personalizations

Sports Obsession, an online retailer specializing in sports apparel and memorabilia, wanted their website to feel festive while also helping customers shop confidently for Christmas deadlines. Using Duda’s personalization tools, we added two standout seasonal elements:

Visit Sports Obsession

1. Snowflake Animation for Festive Flair

To add a touch of holiday magic, we implemented a snowflake animation across the site. This simple visual personalization creates a cozy, winter-themed atmosphere that instantly feels seasonal without overwhelming the shopping experience.



This type of personalization is an easy win for brands wanting to add a little holiday cheer. Whether you opt for snowflakes, twinkling lights, a holiday banner, or seasonal colors, visuals can completely shift the mood of your website.

2. Holiday Shipping Deadline Popup

One of the most important parts of holiday shopping is getting items on time. For Sports Obsession, we created a shipping deadline popup that shows when customers need to place orders to receive them before Christmas.


This personalization:

  • Builds trust
  • Reduces customer uncertainty
  • Helps increase conversions
  • Encourages earlier purchases


Shipping reminders are especially valuable for e-commerce brands during the holidays, and they can be customized by date, device, or even location for maximum accuracy.

Bring Holiday Personalization to Your Website

Sports Obsession is a great example of how simple website updates can create a more engaging and informative shopping experience during the busiest season of the year. If you want to bring similar features to your own website, whether festive visuals, targeted popups, or custom holiday messaging, Crowd Digital Marketing can help.

What Your Website Is Telling Visitors—Whether You Realize It or Not

By Alex Schupp • June 26, 2025
Your website is speaking on your behalf. Before a customer sends a message, makes a purchase, or walks through your doors, they’re forming opinions based on what they see online. In many cases, your website is their very first interaction with your brand—meaning it’s already communicating something long before you say a word. At Crowd Digital Marketing, we’ve worked with brands across industries—from Michelin-recognized restaurants to political campaigns and local Denver institutions. And we’ve learned one universal truth: Every website tells a story. The key is making sure it’s the right one.
