Christmas is an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to market themselves. However, the question is how to prepare the best holiday marketing campaign strategies? Because every business is going to do the same, how do you stand out!

We have listed below five tricks, which can help you build a super stunning holiday campaign for your business to attract more customers to your doorstep.

In a recent study by salesforce, 58% of customers said they would do more online shopping than they used to, and 80% of business owners said they expect more online purchasing in the post-pandemic era, compared with the pre-pandemic period.

Appealing Offers: 

As a consumer, we wait for festive seasons to buy what we want, and sometimes we buy more than what we wish to, and the obvious reason is the seasonal offer. Who here can say we don’t like saving a little cash while shopping!

Take advantage of this psychology. Lure your customers into buying more products very easily by offering something free. You can offer free shipping. You can use this strategy for upselling your items too, how? You can provide a Buy-1-Get-1 free offer or Combo offer.

Offering discounts may attract new customers and bring back your old customers; it may increase your sales. You may also use this strategy to improve your brand reputation by providing a few limited special offers to Covid-19 front liners.

Create a Sense of Urgency: 

Create a sense of need and urgency among your customers this festive season by carefully using trigger words such as “Limited Period offers”, and “Limited exclusive stock” on your landing page. It is an extremely productive approach to push reluctant prospects further down your pipelines and converts them into sold won deals.

This technique is incredibly powerful when coupled with enticing advertisement copy and ads. Your copy needs to reflect the need for their immediate decision and that if they don’t buy right away, they may lose something epic! 

Don’t create a fake sense of urgency, for items that aren’t actually out of stock because these pretend gimmicks can do more harm than good. When you mention your customers have seven days to buy, but the offer is still available weeks later, this will most certainly hurt your brand reputation, portraying you as someone desperate and discern.

Google Ads is not enough; also invest in Social Media Ads:

Also, keep in mind that you’ll need a different strategy for each social platform. For example, TikTok influencer marketing differs significantly from Instagram, as the content which works on Instagram can barely get any engagement on TikTok.
