4 Marketing ideas to Boost your Sales This Holiday Season

4 Marketing ideas to Boost your Sales  This Holiday Season   Even though Halloween sales have come and gone, for many businesses they still have the likes of Black Friday and Christmas still to come. This is the best time for businesses to significantly boost their chances of having a greater number of sales.      .   Tip 1: Target Social Media Social media is a great way to target and engage your existing and potential customers in a real-time effort. It's highly recommended that you prepare your company's social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter with engaging content which provide exclusive offers and deals. Marketing via hashtag has also proven to be exceptionally successful over the years, so why not try hashtags such as #BlackFriday, #Happyholidays, #HappyNewYear, and so on to make your social media posts far more reachable. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest You could even try running holiday contests on social media platforms, it's a great way to get viral, especially when you ask users to share your content. For example, why not try 'Share and like this post for your chance to win'.   Tip 2: Free shipping on all orders.     The holiday season is expensive enough, what with all the gifts your customers need to buy. Why not make their shopping experience a little more appealing with free shipping and delivery? The holidays is often a time where buyers will budget their spending, so make sure you're in their spending range by cutting a little off the delivery costs, for them, it really means a lot. One great way to do this without losing a significant profit is by setting a total bill condition for applicable free shipping. Did you know that a staggering 60% of buyers were more willing to add additional products to their shopping cart to qualify for free delivery or shipping? This helps to boost your average cart value and helps to boost your business revenue while also lowering delivery cost.         Tip 3: Setup urgent discount promotions.     There is no denying that the holiday season is one of the best occasions to run plenty of promotional deals. Try combining products into relevant and appealing bundles by using upsell tactics. Closer the holiday date comes, the more urgent you should make your deals sound, such as 'Discount only available today. Valid until midnight!".      Tip 4:  Decorate your physical and e-store.   Get your buyers in the festive spirit by decorating your brick and mortar store or your online store by decorating it with the relevant graphics or point of sales. Decorations can significantly change the look and feel of any place, both physical and virtual so it pays to get in the spirit of things.  So by making your customers feel festive and happy will more than likely encourage them to feel happy about spending. This week's Tips by Fundivo Visit Mvoss Creation for more Personalized Gift Ideas Holiday Gifts: What to Get Your Clients and Colleagues by Entrepreneur Magazine   Personalize the gift. Opt for gifts that reflect your clients' interests.  Thoughtful, unique gifts will win favor and make you stand out. If you have a good rapport, you probably know a little about your clients' hobbies and what they're passionate about outside of work.  If you have a client who golfs every weekend, send him or her a set of personalized tees. Or if your client is a coffee aficionado, gift a tasty, hard-to-find variety. I like to purchase several Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts gift cards and save them for special people.  I'll tuck one inside a greeting card and write the message, "Thanks a latte! I appreciate our friendship."

Say Thank You To Top Customers During The Holidays

Say Thank You To Top Customers During The Holidays:    You can credit another successful and profitable year to your loyal customers, the customers who keep coming back, who refer you to friends, and who you've established a professional relationship with. Chances are, the other companies they deal with regularly aren't going to go out of their way to personally thank them, which is all the more reason why you should. Here are a few ideas      . Tip 1: Customized Gift If you have created a personal relationship with your clients and customers, send them something that is unique to their likes or hobbies. Do you know if they enjoy being outdoors? Get them a customized cooler to keep their food and drinks cool while they're outside.   Have you learned they love their dogs more than they love most of their family members? Send them a doggy-themed gift basket complete with dog treats and toys. The more thought you put into the gift, the more it will mean to your customer and will be just another reason they continue to do business with you. Tip 2: Tickets     Purchase tickets for your top clients to see their favorite sporting team in action. Combine it with a customized padded stadium chair that everyone will be jealous of and you've got that special combination that hits it out of the park.  Tip 3: Take Them to Lunch  Showing your customers you appreciate them doesn't have to be expensive. Calling them and personally inviting them to lunch is a gesture that will go a long way. By getting to know them on a personable level, you are creating bonds and business that will last a lifetime.    Tip 4:  Exclusive Offers and / or Events Send an email to your top customers inviting them to an after-hours VIP event. Make it clear that this promotion is by invitation only.  Your clients will appreciate the special offers and promotions they will receive by attending this event. Have finger food, freebies and good music to make the event extra special. Getting involved is great for business The holiday season is a season of giving and thinking of others before yourself. Let the community know that you and your employees are focused on them this holiday season, and do something to raise money for those in need. Be A Drop Off Center- List your business as a designated drop off center for donations for a specific charity. Create a press release to give to the local media and ask them to spread the word that customers can swing by and drop off their donations with you. Have employees wear a button or pin with an "Ask Me About..." so that customers can learn more about how to donate. Host An Event- Depending on the nature of the charity you're supporting, host an event to raise money for the particular charity.  Invite the who's who of the community and advertise for weeks prior to the event. Sell raffle tickets and have door prizes. For higher end events, consider wine glasses or golf accessories, and smaller, more lighthearted gifts for casual events, like drink tumblers or colorful pens. Donate Goods or Services- If your business sells products or services that would be directly beneficial to the charity, donate them in exchange for advertising. Give the charity practical and relevant products with your logo on it, as well as theirs, that they can send out when doing advertising and promotions. A hair salon could give away a specific number of free hair cuts to a charity who helps women get back on their feet and find employment after they face a hardship like abuse or addiction. A coupon or gift certificate is an easy and efficient way to promote this offer. Attend An Event- If you know there is a large event in your community that attracts a lot of locals, make sure your business is there! If your town hosts a local outdoor concert, consider handing out a practical item like bug repellent or something fun like glow sticks that will light up the crowd as the sun goes down. Attending these events that are important to the members of your community is a good way to network, and show your customers that you care about the community Promotional Item Feature:  "Your Own Brand" CLIP-ALL     *** Mvoss Creation CLIP ALL *** Great Unique Useful Holiday gift with YOUR OWN BRAND Logo printed on this as low as $2.50 each ONLY.  This powerful magnet clip attaches to shirts, jackets, purses and more.
