Hey there, holiday marketing mavens! It’s September, and you’re probably thinking, “Holiday marketing already?” Yep, it’s the perfect time to sprinkle some festive magic on your marketing plans. Let’s jingle all the way with these fab ideas!
- Festive Drink-A-Day Bonanza: Kick off “13 Spooky Specials,” “30 Days of Thanks,” and “12 Coffees of Christmas”! Unleash a new, tantalizing holiday drink every day at a special price. It’s like a daily surprise for your customers’ taste buds! Need inspiration? Check out my “12 Coffees of Christmas” article for some merry coffee shop reviews.
- Deck the Halls (and Websites): Jazz up your store with holiday decorations and don’t forget your online world! Splash some festive flair on your website, emails, newsletters, and print materials. It’s all about that holiday vibe!
- Holiday Photo Frenzy Contest: Get your customers snapping! Have them post holiday photos on your Facebook page and Instagram account, tagging themselves and your biz. Maybe a “Scariest Costume” for Halloween or a “Best Santa Impression” for Christmas. Draw winners from these merry entries and hype it up online and in-store.
- Charity Tree of Giving: Set up a tree and offer ornaments for a small donation to charity. Customers can write their names on these tokens of generosity and hang them up. Feeling eco-friendly? Go for reusable ornaments. Why not spice it up with different trees for each holiday?
- Party Favors Galore: Hand out treats with every purchase – think jolly ranchers for Halloween, candy corn for Thanksgiving, and candy canes for Christmas. Sweetness overload!
Spread the word about these holiday festivities everywhere – press releases, email blasts, in-store promos, and chatty staff. Let’s make this holiday season unforgettably fun!
