You’re right, we haven’t even hit Halloween yet, but it really is time to start planning your holiday promotions! We have about 2 months left in the year, and we all want to go out with a bang. Constant Contact published a blog article this month with ideas to make this your best holiday season ever.
Here is how to set your holiday promotion strategy:
- Plan for the key holiday shopping days: Last year consumers spent $5.7 billion (yes, with a b) on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
- Determine the communication channels that matter for your clients: Where do your customers hear about your promotions? Is it via email, social, mobile or any combination of those. It is vital to use all three when promoting your wares.
- How are people finding you? According to Constant Contact “84% of shoppers will use some digital tools – including smartphones, tablets, and desktop – when planning their holiday shopping.”
- Create your holiday promotion: what is the offer? What will make them act? You could create a coupon, run a local deal, host an event or add value to your current product offering.
- Make sure to stay connected: make sure you have customers sign up for your email list to keep on top of your holiday offers.
