“More Holiday Promotions Ideas For Marketers”
I actually published this back in October 2010 but the tips and strategies will still produce great results in your marketing today.
It’s a guest post from Troy White that was originally published on the much missed “Makepeace Total Package”.
Well worth you studying and applying in your marketing this coming holiday season.
Couple of other tips…
1) Don’t send Christmas Cards…
…send “Thank You” cards at “Thanksgiving instead (with an OFFER of course).
OK, this mainly applies for US marketers (Canada celebrated in October…make a note for 2012!)…
…but people in other countries are increasingly aware of US holidays.
You’ll stand out from the crowd and it’s a great excuse to show some “appreciation” to your clients.
“Hat Tip” to Bill Glazer for this tip in a recent issue of the Glazer -Kennedy newsletter (although Bill is stepping down, so I guess they’ll be renaming it).
2) Check Out This Video…
…over at “CopyDoodles”…
“11/9/11- Holiday Doodles And Your Marketing”
Lots of ideas for marketing promotions plus how to make your marketing stand out by using copy cosmetics.
I’m an unabashed fan of “CopyDoodles” so encourage you to take a look at them. No affiliate link, simply a great marketing resource that I use a great deal.
3) Consider a Multi-Day Promotion
…such as…
…”12 days of Christmas”…
…”8 Days Of Hanukah”
…”7 Days Of Kwanzaa”.
Make sure whatever you do is appropriate for your market and your audience.
