We’ve mentioned previously in other blog posts what to do when it comes to the marketing strategy for the holiday season,, and while some of that is good, it’s time for the 2020 update.

Holiday Marketing Quarantine Style

Since online shopping is the new norm, having your website, social media, and ads ready for the holiday rush. The content for your strategy is going to be what makes your sales. Images get better conversion rates, so I suggest putting the highest quality, original images on each of your posts. You can hire a pro to handle your marketing during the holiday season, as it would have the most ROI at this moment. You’re going to want to be incredibly active on your different outlets: website, social medias, etc. This means posting frequently and engaging with comments, messages, and all of that.

One example of what you can do during this season is run specials to encourage people to buy under a time crunch (making a time-pressure buy). You can also release free information/content or loss leaders to get people into being  paid clients. Loss leaders are products or services that might not make you a big profit but encourage a relationship with the client wherfe you can sell more profitable services and products in the future.
