The holidays are just around the corner and if you want to succeed this season with sales you have to be working on promotions and plans NOW!!! Here are a few ideas to help get your creative juices rolling:
🔹 Early bird offers – it not only helps you from running all over the place, but it gets people buying ASAP.
🔹 Create a holiday gift guide – sometimes people really like visual pieces and if your products photograph well, you can create a gift guide PDF inside Canva.
🔹 Gift Card Promotion – How many times do you see companies offer “Buy $100 in gift cards and get a $25 gift card”? I don’t know about you, but I totally fall for these promotions. 😉
🔹 Host an event (in-person or online) – sometimes people just like getting together with their friends and going shopping. Events are perfect for that. But if you have to go online, I’ve seen Facebook/Instagram Live Parties go really well for those who prefer the virtual events.
🔹 Offer a coupon – people like coupons. Just make sure it’s over 20%. Stats show people are more likely to bite on coupons over that.
🔹 Bundle products – Think about what you sell that compliments your most popular product or service. Bundle a complimentary item and you not only sell that additional product, but your customers will benefit from the other product too. #winning
🔹 Free shipping – nothing says “add to cart” like the words Free Shipping (seriously!)
🔹 Contest/Giveaway – Think about ways you can encourage people who spend a certain dollar amount in your store and get entered into a drawing for a free service, product or gift.
