"Wow" your customers this holiday season with the "holiday perks"
It’s no secret that consumers will be looking for the best deals this holiday season. Here are a few ideas on how you can offer holiday perks to your customers:
Giveaways
We all love something for free! (at least I do) the holidays are a great reason to giveaway goodies to your loyal followers or customers. Have some fun with it! Start a “5 days of giveaways” of your products before Thanksgiving or Christmas. Create a quick social media post using Canva for example, stating you’ll be giving away t shirts. Have followers sign up on your website (psst, this is a great way to build your email list) choose winners, announce them on your sites, ask the winners to post their free items onto their social media platforms and tag you (free advertising). Note: Don’t forget to create a hash tag!
Discounts
Who doesn’t love a good deal? Discounts are a great way to attract customers and to keep them coming back. Offer something like “free shipping on any order on your next purchase.”
Gift wrapping
If you have the time and man power, offer free gift wrapping. Choose nice gift wrapping paper, give customers a couple of options to choose from and voila, beautifully wrapped gifts for their friends and family! Of course, it’s a little more work, but that extra detail will “wow” your customers.
Free shipping
I guess this one is a no "brainer" . Offer free holiday shipping. Stores like Target, Aldo, Timberland and Toys R Us are offering free shipping on December 16, 2016 for anyone who purchases items on this day.
Deals, discounts and free items, can all be incorporated into your holiday marketing strategy as a way to raise brand awareness, drive traffic to your store or website and to increase sales!
