The Benefits of Christmas Marketing

Christmas marketing isn’t just another goal to tick off. It has numerous benefits for your business. Here are the highlights:

• A personable touch. Releasing a Christmas campaign or a mere holiday message gives your brand a friendly look.
• Lead generation. You can use your Christmas content to collect customer data. For example, emails, sign-ups, or general feedback.
• Higher engagement. More people are on their devices during the Christmas break — so make the most of it! Frequent social posts or newsletters can quickly boost your social media and website traffic.
• Customer acquisition. If your Christmas content resonates well, it might drum up new customers or remind current clients to book for January work.
• Brand visibility. Being seen is always a good thing! And an Xmas campaign can help you stand out.
• The chance to have fun. Finally, Christmas marketing is about putting a smile on your audience’s face.

Have we persuaded you to get started? Here are some extra tips to ensure your Christmas content shines like the star on the Christmas tree.

1. Get Started Early

Statistics show that most marketers start to prepare Christmas content in October. Yes, this is early. But it gives you time to navigate any hiccups and ensure the content is gift-wrapped and ready for December first. Plus, you won’t have any last-minute rush (apart from present buying!)

2. Use Humour

Christmas is all about joy. So, don’t cut this from your content. Add humour and pop culture references to your campaign to make your audience smile. An emotional reaction is vital to a successful campaign.

3. Give Back

The holidays are the time for giving. Add value to your Christmas marketing by actually gifting your audience with something. It could be a few witty jokes, a free PDF, or an actual gift. This is a great way to ensure your audience remembers you and your expertise.

4. Use All Channels

Once you’ve formulated a Christmas, don’t simply send it out on one platform. Repurpose the content and spread the word. We’re talking via email, Instagram, Facebook, landing page, and other channels. Share it loud and proud for the best results!

5. Work With Professionals

The run-up to Christmas is a hectic period. If the thought of starting a Christmas campaign ruins the seasonal magic, don’t stress. This is where a professional design firm can help. From creating the content to scheduling the posts, you can rely on graphic designers and marketers to help you navigate the season.
