Many businesses use Thanksgiving and the December Holidays to market generically themed ideas to attract new customers or engage current customers. Using originality and a bit of a human touch can really affect how customers react to your Holiday Marketing Campaigns. As we are all mostly busy during this season, we will try to keep a short but helpful list.\"happyholidays\"<\/p>\n

  1. Plan in advance- Sadly, this may not help you now. But, it’s not too early to start thinking about next year’s campaigns. The beginning of October\u00a0is a good date to start brainstorming and begin planning your Black Friday\/Cyber Monday\/Seasons Greetings bonanza. A little planning ahead of time goes a long way after the fact.<\/li>\n
  2. This is cliche, but personalize your approach. Something most companies don’t factor into a Holiday Campaign is the emotional factor. Most purchases are not rational decisions. They are emotional reactions. Engage your customers on social media with a question like: What is their favorite Holiday tradition? Find a \"holiday-thanksgiving-pumpkins\"way for your customers to insert themselves into the campaign. “Elf yourself” was one of the most successful marketing strategies ever.<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t discount Cyber Friday. That’s right. Not Cyber Monday. In 2014 $1.5 billion was spent on Black Friday alone.<\/a>\u00a0Planning ahead will also allow to plan for contests or games to be added to that campaign as well.\"tc-stats-logo\"<\/li>\n
  4. Use last year’s data. If you don’t keep data now, start keeping it this year. Find out what items sold best. Campaigns that use data improve ROI by 15-20%.<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. You are a customer as well, observe and use what attracts you. You may be in business but thinking like a customer, can inspire many ideas.<\/li>\n
  6. This may be taboo for some. But, far too many campaign’s mistake the Holiday \"season-greetings-clip-art-jgynnt-clipart\"Season for the Christmas Season. Focus on the universal themes of family, gift giving, and charity. While this has become a touchy subject as of late, a well though out approach can be inclusive and not have anyone feeling left out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Using the built in themes of the season, can be half of what it takes to run a successful Holiday Marketing campaign. We wish you a successful Holiday season. More importantly, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
