Make Your Online Presence More ‘Christmasy’

And we say you go the whole nine yards with this one! From your landing pages to the website’s theme and email outreach, we recommend including Christmas elements in your design and communication copies.

Your homepage is probably the best point to get started. Include a large banner with a Christmas tree, Santa, and presents…and you get the idea. Talented developers can add more creative elements in your brand designs to engage customers at an emotional level and keep their spirits high.

Launch a Christmas Offers Landing Page

You may want to create a separate landing page with a catchy Christmas-themed design to promote special deals and offers for the offer. Whether you are a consumer e-commerce brand or a B2B corporation, a separate themed presence will get you recognition and lead traction.

For you can run limited-time discount promos on products until Christmas Eve and promote the landing page.

Focus on Special and Scarce

We all know about the scarcity principle. Now is the time to put it into practice. One of your Christmas marketing strategies can be selecting or curating exclusive products often lost in other products’ tides. Place them on single or multiple outreach channels while tagging them as an exclusive ‘holiday season special.’ People love to buy unique and memorable items, especially during festive waves.

For, if you are an e-commerce brand that sells shoes, you can bundle 5 exclusive pairs of boots and sell them exclusively under the ‘Christmas Special’ label. You’ll be surprised by the results.

Show Your Love on Social Media

What time can be better to thank your customers and clients who stayed with you throughout all those years of growth? As a brand that connects its stakeholders at an emotional and personal level, you can create a social media shoutout campaign. The theme can be ‘gratitude’ whereby a simple thanks to your best customers and clients on Christmas day will earn you lots of love.

Not only will this be simple and sweet Christmas marketing, but it will also be an excellent demonstration of how much you value those involved with you. You can even mention your best employees and talk about them over social media!

Dive into Video Marketing

The holiday season is the high time to leverage video marketing. If you haven’t tried it yet, the time has come. Video marketing works for everyone and works especially well amidst too much information noise. Because it is easily consumable, a nicely edited Christmas-themed video can rake in bigshot branding points for you.

You can make a video about your brand, products, new product launches, etc. Hire a video producer and professional editor and start – because Christmas is branding time.

Push more sales with Gifts.

Everyone loves presents, don’t they? Imagine how much your customers will adore you when they hear something like – “Buy 1 and get a X-mas Gift” or “Free X-mas Gift worth $20 inside.’ The idea is to create a buzz that your brand is giving away Christmas gifts with all or select products. As the offer gains traction online, you’ll notice sales soon. The gift does not have to be complicated, either. It can be as simple as a voucher, a novelty, or an accessory (whatever your budget allows). You wanted Christmas marketing ideas; we just advised you to become Santa!

Drive Time-based Offers

Limited-period offers are great, pretty much any time of the year. However, a festival like Christmas kicks in the turbo and makes time-based offers even more lucrative. Formulate an offer and place it under a countdown timer on your website, social media, or both. You’ll be surprised how many clicks it garners and how many of them convert. You can use marketing automation services to make it easier for you.

This idea will work effectively for consumer e-commerce brands who rely on impulse buys.

You are only limited by creativity when it comes to Christmas marketing ideas. Use the above tips, gather your team, and crack your business goals even before Santa sneaks in to gift us another year of hope.

Merry Christmas!
