Things are heating up and spending fever is catching on quick, time to kick your business marketing into gear while the iron is hot! It is easy to neglect the busy months of summer, but with these seven super easy marketing tips you simply can’t go wrong!

1. Summer Savings Promotion

Summer is the perfect time to launch a new marketing campaign. Even if summer is your busy season, ride the wave of success longer with proper marketing and building brand awareness. Take the time to sketch out exactly what you want to accomplish this season – be sure to keep it reasonable for the time frame. Do you want to increase traffic to your website? Do you want to gain more popularity on social media? Do you want to have more product sales? Do you want to get the word out about your new summer offer? Be specific about your goals, and start a timeline of things that need to be done in order to make that happen. Marketing Tip: Be sure to keep your theme and slogan throughout your holiday marketing efforts.

2. Summer Print Media Marketing Campaign

Get in the summer spirit with a fun summer theme. Pick a theme and sketch out an idea to get the word out about your hot summer promotion. Accomplish this with various types of flyers, such as tri-folds, networking handouts, self mailers, and postcards just to name a few - not to mention signage, banners, and themed displays. Be sure your design is professional-looking and delivers your summer marketing message effectively. To ensure that happens, be sure to hire a professional print design company that will get you the product you need to wow customers.

3. Summer Web Design Enhancements

Let your client-base know you are putting together something special for the summer by jazzing up your website. This helps online clients get in the mood with colorful summer images that compliment your theme. Be sure to highlight your summer savings deals with banners and icon placement in strategic areas of your website. Be sure to incorporate your slogan for better branding and name recognition. Not sure where to start with your web design? Targeting Pro Marketing can help point you in the right direction with a free web analysis ($100 value) - simply put "Summer Marketing Help" in the comments, and we will be in touch!

4. Summer-Time Graphics

If you’re looking to go above and beyond, creating an enticing summer marketing event with custom graphics specifically designed for it can really bring in sales! The biggest goal of creating a marketing event for your business is to make that event memorable. Use bright colors, and flashy graphics in your print designs, web enhancements, and of course social media. Images are shared a lot more on social media than anything else and have a huge impact as they can be shared easily. Want to increase your reach? Include a graphic with your summer theme marketing event that compliments the message you are trying to send out. Be specific – do you want them to like, share, comment, give their opinion, win a prize, etc? If you want them to “Save the Date” of a big sales event, create an event for your Facebook Page, share it in local networking groups, and manage any questions Facebook users may have. Remember: Make it noticeable, make it amazing, make it memorable – apply that to visually appealing graphics and you have a great combo! Need a little help with putting together some great summer sales designs? Targeting Pro Marketing can help with that, graphic design is our specialty!

5. Summer Blog Content / Seasonal Landing Pages

In a world where the internet is the information highway, content is STILL king! Don’t neglect your custom article, blog write-ups, unique landing pages, and event details. Doing so with custom-written content will have the search engines crawling all over your website. Couple that with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and you can really start getting traction for your marketing efforts! Including design elements, incorporating SEO, and having “capture pages” for customers to land on can help to increase traffic and sales during the summer. Keeping them with your theme can also make them evergreen content – meaning you can use them again, and again each year! (And we’re all about going green, right?)

6. Summer Social Media Marketing Campaign

Its not just for kids! More and more people are influenced on purchase decisions based off social media exposure. Why? Let’s face it, humans are social creatures. Studies have shown that if someone knows another person that has had an experience with a product or company, they are more than likely going to purchase that product or through that company on the good recommendation their friend has. This is what makes social media a vital part of your marketing campaign. Now with using targeted ads, you can increase your reach to certain demographics and literally get what you pay for with each click. Couple this with the custom graphics, Facebook events, and other social media platforms, you can really extend your marketing reach during the hot summer months!

7. Summer Give-Aways

Nothing gets attention faster than a freebie on the internet. It may seem like a pun, but anyone on, in, or around social media will get a chuckle out of that one – because it is SO TRUE. If you really want to garner attention to your summer marketing event, be sure to offer something to customers (and new potential customers) something for free. This could be a door prize for visiting your in-store location, it could be for a free item with purchase, it can be for participating in liking and sharing your Facebook event, or it can be a goodie bag for kids. Whatever you decide on, make sure it matches with your theme, and offers value to your customer. Offering these goodies can speak volumes and can give customers a great reason for stopping in or trying your products. Giving something away for free rarely costs anything on a technical level – because you can pay much for the opportunity to just be noticed by a client in paid advertising. There is no price on personal experience! Market your freebies and give-aways right, and you can stir up a lot of interest without breaking the bank.

TOP FREE MARKETING TIP:

Don’t fry your eggs all in one pan this summer! When putting together your summer marketing platform, try not to rely on one tactic or platform, be sure to spread out your efforts. Think of it like casting a larger net – you have more reach with the potential of bringing in more clients and more sales. Diversify your marketing strategy and do a bit of everything, from there watch your metrics closely and take note of what works and what doesn’t.

Seven Sweet Valentine’s Day Marketing Ideas That Will Make You Swoon

Seven Sweet Valentine’s Day Marketing Ideas That Will Make Your Heart Melt

Free Holiday Marketing Tips by Targeting Pro Marketing

Valentine’s Day – the day chosen to show that special someone just how much they mean to you.  Why not apply the same concept to your customers?  After all, we certainly love our clients!  We also absolutely love what we do.  Here are some great Valentine marketing tips, tricks, and ideas to get your customers to fall in love with you all over again. 

1. A Catchy Valentine’s Day Slogan

These are not just “Hallmark Holidays” as some people like to refer to, the holidays do get people in the holiday spirit, in the mindset of giving, and make them think about what the holiday represents.  If you aren’t capitalizing on this, you may be missing the love boat on days like Valentine’s Day.  Here are some slogans to make your heart melt:

Check Out These Sweet Deals
Fall In Love With These Discounts
Make It From The Heart This Year…
Hugs And Kisses For The Mrs
Hearts, And Roses, And Chocolates, Oh My!
Let’s Have A Heart To Heart
Cakes And Candy Certainly Are Dandy
Steal Their Heart This Valentine’s Day

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Incorporate your catchy and custom slogan into your holiday marketing.  That means pushing your slogan in your promotional print materials, signage, website banners, graphic designs, event promos, and email campaigns.  Your marketing efforts should all tie into one another and should be tracked, giving you clear analytics as to what is successful and what is not so you know where to spend your hard-earned marketing dollars.  Not sure what direction to head in?  Contact Targeting Pro Marketing for a consultation, and we can help you design your marketing road map to success!

2. Love Your Special Clients

Don’t let them get away!  Show how much you care about your clients by developing an exceptional holiday deal for them.  If you have a large client base, use analytics to discern which clients are your most valuable, and design your deal around that.  You can also entice them back into your store with in-store coupons, limited time discounts on services, and great deals on select retail items.

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Create a Client Appreciation Event to show your customers just how much they mean to you.  You can make this exclusive to existing clients, include an “invite a friend” option, or leave it open to the public.  You can require a sign-up registry to capture new client information, or have existing clients update their contact information in the process.

3. Web Design Update For Valentine’s Day

Don’t reserve web updates for just the big ticket holidays!  Adding thoughtful and emotion-provoking images to your website shows you are keeping your site fresh, and can put customers “in the mood” for holiday shopping.  Even a simple color change to match the holidays can put people psychologically into the spirit of love.

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Change over your entire theme by editing your CSS with an entire palette of holiday colors and images.  This theme can also be reused year after year without having to do a complete redesign again.  You can do this initial cost and then repurpose it for years to come!  If you would like to know more about Targeting Pro Marketing web design fees, please feel free to contact us for a free web design quote.

4. Valentine’s Email Campaign

Hit them in the mailbox!  Don’t let love slip by, if you went to all the trouble of designing a great deal, it doesn’t do much good if no one knows about it.  Send customers the details of your special via email.  You can bring them back to your store, or create online shopping deals they just can’t pass up.  Plan ahead and be sure to get them the deals early before your competition, and plan for the holiday rush.

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Include a trackable coupon code for your deals, this way you will know how many of your sales were directly generated from your special.  You can also use custom url’s if your email program doesn’t have a good tracking system built-in.  Knowing this valuable marketing analytics will let you know how effective your advertising tactics are working.  This also holds your marketing company accountable for what types of results you can expect.  If you are dealing with a marketing  company that promises the moon and the stars for an email campaign, they should be able to provide clear analytics on the performance.  All marketing companies should be able to provide you with a reasonable range and percentage, but do not pay top dollar for low-quality services.  Need some holiday email marketing ideas?  Check out our Targeting Pro Project Gallery for inspiration!

5.  Print Marketing For Valentine’s Day

Don’t underestimate the power of a gorgeous flyer!  Even if you don’t send your marketing via mail, you can create a visual discount sheet / coupons for your customers.  You can also create a “share the love” campaign for referring a friend.  This grows your customer base AND rewards the customers that love you!

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Don’t just throw money at the mailbox, make sure it is working for you.  Be sure to include unique trackable coupons in your print marketing (do not use the same coupon codes that you place in your email campaign, or on social media), this allows you to create strong marketing pillars and know where your strong advertising efforts are paying off.  How about a little print marketing inspiration?  You can find that in the Targeting Pro Marketing Gallery as well – specifically including Valentine’s Day projects!

6. Valentine’s Day Blog Post

Don’t leave anyone out in the cold!  This is a great way to highlight featured items or services you have to offer.  Remember, your blog should be updated regularly and is a great way to push your brand recognition, harvest SEO traction, and put specialized information that may not be entirely appropriate for your website like informative articles, product comparisons, product highlights, etc.

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Use your holiday blog post as an educational opportunity.  Do you have common questions about certain products?  Why not create a product feature post?  If you are a business-to-business company, you can share the love with featuring one of your client’s companies in a blog post.  Not only will this be a great relationship-builder for your client, you can share a lot of link love to their website, products, social media, and more!  Now who wouldn’t love that? 

7. Valentine’s Day Photography

An image really is worth a thousand words, so do not undervalue what a strong, compelling, or even adorable image can trigger purchasing power.  Go all out on your product or service highlights that incorporate the powerful holiday of love including whites, pinks, and reds, hearts, cupids, doves, roses, chocolates, teddy bears, and candy.

-- Take It To The Next Level:

Use these photos paired with your slogan and distribute them across all of your marketing efforts including your website, email campaigns, social media, and print marketing.  Need help deciding on what direction to head towards next?  Contact Targeting Pro Marketing to help you hash out your holiday marketing plan.

So there you have it, Valentine’s Day is a great way to show your customer appreciation, share the love with your business partners, and provide goods and services that make your clients’ heart melt! 

Show the love!  If you find these tips helpful, please feel free to share them, because sharing is caring.

CHRISTMAS WEB DESIGN UPDATE

Updating your website with relevant, inviting images will be a warm welcome for the Christmas holiday season.  In the time of year where everything seems decorated, your website should be no exception!  When clients land on your website with timely holiday images, it echoes care and thoughtfulness to their user experience.  It also tends to get people more in the spirit of holiday shopping!  Simply place several Christmas and winter-themed graphics on your website.  This can be something as simple as sprinkling in a few graphics, to going all-out with an entire winter skin for your website.  This will convey that your website is not stagnant but living, breathing extension of your company. 

Combining prominent Christmas / Winter images with your brand will convey a strong holiday message to visitors, and will provide a considerate approach to your organization’s online presence.   It is not just about trying to make a quick sale, it is about developing a meaningful relationship with your clients, and potential clients, through your promotional advertising.  So many times we hear that consumers are simply not aware of a holiday promotion or event… marketing is merely getting your brand message out in a logical and attractive way.  This marketing can also drive sales, and show how your organization solves problems for your clients.  You don’t have to “spam” your advertising, but let your company sell itself with a cohesive web design that screams “we have our stuff together” on the internet. 

You can also incorporate customized holiday landing pages into your web design.  These can either be a created landing page for a potential client to land on offering a particular deal or incentive, a group of holiday specials, or coupled with a custom form created to capture client contact information.  You are not just building up your client base, but you are creating a life-long relationship with individuals who love your brand.  Include the use of specialized urls to track your social media, print, and email marketing campaign effectiveness. 

Want to really gain new contacts?  Offer something completely free, and place a landing page stop before they get there.  You can offer a free gift, a gift card to your store, a branded item with your company logo, valuable information, etc.  This is an excellent way to build up your client base around the Christmas holiday!

CHRISTMAS CUSTOM GRAPHIC DESIGN

Custom graphics are so simple, so effective!  Developing unique graphics that pair your particular brand, products, or services with the holiday season can leave a lasting impact on your clients.  Stand out above copy cat competition, who recycle other people’s images or haven’t updated their holiday look for the past decade.  In today’s day and age, when advertising is an open door, you really have to take advantage of the unique services you offer to rise above the chatter.  Let your voice be heard this holiday season with graphics that highlight incredible savings, seasonal specials, and pairing your brand with strong holiday images presented in a unique and thoughtful way.  Offer something new and compelling from the hum-drum everyday consumers have grown so accustomed to.   Plus, let’s be honest, stealing other company’s images and common marketing tactics just comes off as tacky to consumers – they’re not stupid.  In addition to turning off those you are looking to attract, you can open yourself up to legal repercussions if the copying is on copyrighted images.  Lawsuits are not fun. 

Developing unique graphics to communicate your holiday offers.  Advertising studies have shown that visual marketing attracts more clients than text (messages in text only) alone.  Using custom graphics in social media, on your website, and in print marketing, will go a long way.  When considering a social media campaign, know that images typically rank higher in user feeds than text ads alone.  So be sure to include an attractive, considerate, and relevant image to your brand this season.

CHRISTMAS SALES EBLAST AND EMAIL NEWSLETTER CAMPAIGN

It is commonly understood that the best source of new sales is actually through past clients you have already won over, and can continue to win over with repeat business.  A great area to start in for your holiday marketing efforts can be found right in your past client list.  We understand that not every small business may have a database, but hopefully you have a list of past clients that include email addresses, even if it is a simple export of your email contacts. 

The reason Targeting Pro Technologies & Marketing emphasizes past client marketing so much, is because this is the group you should offer your best deals, discounts, and promotions as a strong  “thank you for your business” message of appreciation for the holiday season.  A clever and convenient way to capitalize on your past client contact list is through their personal email.  With a comprehensive email list, sending exclusive deals or discount codes via an email marketing campaign will show your brand as thoughtful and considerate.  That being said, if you don’t want to feel overly “salesy” in December, you can easily send out a holiday message to your past clients simply to touch base and keep up your brand awareness, without the use of a call to action to make a purchase. 

Please note that if you are updating your blog frequently (and we know you are, right?), you can easily pair those article posts that are bursting with information by hitching their content to your newsletter.  This will not only draw clients back to your blog and/or website, but you can also offer valuable only-your-brand-provided info to them.  Clients will look at what your organization has to offer, which means it is an opportunity for clients to learn more about your brand, and to establish yourself as a knowledgeable industry leader with helpful information.  Never underestimate the power of a strong blog article with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling to show off your knowledge and professionalism – it really does go a long way!

CHRISTMAS HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL PRINT DESIGN

Hit them in the mailbox!  There is no doubt we live in a highly digital world – so much of our lives are now in digital format including news, weather, information, articles, books, etc.  Even though we are in a highly digital world, there is a huge misconception for businesses that print marketing is dead.  NO!  Print most certainly lives!  Being highly digital, we are constantly bombarded with digital advertising, emails, websites, ads, social media, and more.  Stand out above the crowd and give your clients something tangible this winter season with a promotion they can get their hands on.  Whether you develop clipable coupons, holiday flyers, tri-fold informational brochures, contact tear-offs, postcard mailers, standard letters, signs or banners, customize your promotions with print media.  Another useful tip: Use custom url’s in your print campaign to gauge effectiveness! 

Need some inspiration for your holiday print media?  Check out the Targeting Pro Technologies & Marketing Project Gallery for ideas and inspiration!  If you see something you like, click to the right of the image to contact us and we will customize a design specifically for you!

CHRISTMAS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Let’s face it, in some industries, digital graphics may not always be able to cut the mustard at the Christmas table.  Sometimes your best products, professional services, or your brand, can only be conveyed properly by being captured in a photograph.  This Christmas, consider professional photos as a way to offer compelling images to your clients and potential clients.  A picture certainly is worth a thousand words!  Pairing your brand with holiday-themed photography can push you ahead of your competition this year, as so many small businesses neglect to capitalize on this powerful marketing avenue.  Targeting Pro Technologies & Marketing has done professional photography for industries such as restaurants, catering, real estate, construction, gardening, landscape, wood working, tech and more!  If your goods or services are tailored for the seasons, then your marketing should be as well – and Christmas is no exception!  If you are not including relevant images to your marketing routine, your may be missing out on a huge opportunity for this major revenue-generating holiday.

CHRISTMAS BLOG CONTENT CREATION

We know as a small business, that keeping fresh, relevant content on your blog can be difficult.  This is especially true when you are trying to keep up with the holiday rush as it is, and planning for your own family behind the scenes.  Never underestimate the power of a great blog article!  Here at Targeting Pro Technologies & Marketing, we cannot stress enough the extreme importance of unique and timely content to gain organic web traffic.  If you really want to gain traction for your business, the best way to blast forward is with a powerful and lively blog that doesn’t rest for the holiday season.  When your organization pairs unique informational articles with email and doubles up with social media, you can really push traffic to your website and create an exponential platform for your firm foundation of solid content. 

Not sure where to start?  If you already have a blog, don’t feel intimidated by jumping right back in to this powerful digital platform.  Write relevant informational articles pertaining to your industry, your brand, your products, and the services you provide above and beyond your competition.  Be sure to include topics like what types of problems your organization solves, what types of services you provide to clients, your focus on business-to-consumer or business-to-business, who your target audience is (age, sex, geographical location, etc), and take the time to answer some of the more common questions your clientele has.  Do you get common questions over and over again?  Why not answer them in a blog article?  Not only will there be a good chance your clients will first search the internet for specific questions, gaining you organic search engine traffic, but you will have an informational trail always leading back to you as an expert in your field.  Keep your target audience in mind, and what types of issues your company or products solve for them.  Tailor your articles to include that helpful information people first research online.  Coupling your unique blog content with compelling custom graphics will really give the one-two punch for readers AND is exactly what search engines are looking for!

CHRISTMAS DEALS, DISCOUNTS AND SPECIALS 

Christmas is the perfect holiday to offer your clients exceptional deals, discounts, specials and package promotions as your organization’s way of thanking them for their business!  Besides, EVERYONE loves a great deal, right? 

There is no doubt that the winter holiday season is highly competitive… and we understand that may get a wee bit intimidating for the small business owner when you’re trying to carve out a name for yourself.  That makes the Christmas season the perfect time to sit down and hammer out what kinds of deals you can give your best current clients, and what types of specials will attract new clients.  Here at Targeting Pro Technologies & Marketing, we highly recommend to target your best clients with your BEST offers (remember what we said about them being the best source for new business?) with a combination of marketing techniques.  Looking to target new customers?  Create a special coupon code or landing page on your website to track how well your efforts are paying off – this will tell you what works and what doesn’t in your marketing campaigns.  

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY DEALS

FREE Thanksgiving Marketing Tips, Tricks, Ideas, and Inspiration

FREE Thanksgiving Marketing Tips, Tricks, Ideas and Inspiration

The month of November is really digging into the Fall / Autumn marketing season.  Most companies and organizations partake in the big Christmas holiday specials, but you can beat them to the punch with a Thanksgiving marketing campaign.  Couple this campaign with Black Friday and Cyber Monday and you can really put yourself in the green this year!

The sooner you plan and hash out your fall marketing plan, the better.  Thanksgiving is a holiday that focuses on family, gathering, food, fun, and heck even sports.  Your targeted marketing campaign can focus on any of these items, on a seasonal service such as lawn/yard maintenance, restaurant/food industry, retail, etc.  Any combination of these can create a powerful advertising campaign that will show thoughtfulness and appreciation to your client base. 

Remember, the first portion of the sales funnel is awareness.  Marketing and advertising brings the purpose of your business to the attention of the public.  Without a strong marketing campaign, clients will not be able to discover who you are and what you do.  Reach out with compelling advertising that is unique, customized for your niche market, and keep in mind the giving and grateful nature of the bounty of fall.  Doing so will trickle your potential clients into consideration and preference as an easy hop skip from compelling marketing efforts!

THANKSGIVING WEB DESIGN UPDATE

Holiday images offer an inviting platform to welcome your clients onto your online presence.  When clients land on a website that has timely holiday images, it echoes care and thoughtfulness into their user experience.  Simply placing several Thanksgiving / Fall visuals on your website show that you are mindful of your clients and that your website is not stagnant but a living, breathing extension of your company. 

Combining prominent Thanksgiving / Fall images with your brand conveys a strong holiday message and considerate approach to your company’s online presence.  You are not just trying to make a quick sale, you are trying to develop a meaningful relationship with your clients and potential clients through your promotional advertising.  How many times do you hear people saying they were not aware of a holiday special or event for an organization?  Marketing is simply getting your message out in a logical and attractive way that also drives sales.  You don’t have to “spam” your advertising, but let your company sell itself with a cohesive web design that screams “we have our stuff together” on the internet.

Customized holiday landing pages can capture client interest two fold.  You can create a landing page that offers a very prominent special to capture new client contact information (that may seem familiar, wink wink).  You can also create a holiday specials page that showcases your seasonal discounts with specialized url’s in your social, print, and email marketing campaigns.  Place a form to complete before jumping to a freebie offer – it is a great way to build your client base!

THANKSGIVING CUSTOM GRAPHIC DESIGN

So simple, so effective!  Unique graphics designed for your particular brand and discounts can stand out above copy cat competition.  Stealing other people’s images and common marketing tactics just comes off as tacky to consumers.  In today’s day and age when marketing is an open door, you have to rise above the chatter to let your voice be heard.  Studies show visual marketing attracts more clients than text alone.  Using custom graphics in your social media, on your website, and in print marketing, will go a long way. 

Using custom graphics internally can mean generating extra income from your website.  Do you have partners or industry professionals you work with?  Why not ask them to partake in paid advertising on your website?  Offering partners a custom banner ad on your website on a monthly or yearly basis can mean your organization is gaining  profit without breaking the bank.  You can also highlight your deals, discounts, and specials on your website with attractive banners that click-through to your products, services, or landing pages.  Grab client’s attention before they lost in holiday no man’s land...

THANKSGIVING EMAIL NEWSLETTER CAMPAIGN

The best source for new sales are actually through the clients you have already won over, and can continue to win over with repeat business.  An excellent place to start your holiday marketing efforts is in your past client pool.  It is this group you should offer your best deals, discounts, and promotions as a strong  “thank you for your business” – perfect for the Thanksgiving holiday season.  A clever way to capitalized on your past clients is through their personal email by sending them exclusive deals or discount codes via an email marketing campaign.  Don’t want to feel too “salesy” in November?  You can send out a holiday message to your clients to just touch base and keep up your brand awareness, no call to action to make a purchase. 

Note that if you are updating your blog frequently (and we know you totally are, right?), you can pair those informational article posts with your newsletter to draw clients back to your blog and/or website.  Clients will look at what your company has to offer to learn more about your brand, and it is a great opportunity to establish yourself as a knowledgeable industry leader with helpful information.  Never underestimate the power of a strong blog article with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling to show off your knowledge and professionalism! 

THANKSGIVING HIGH QUALITY PRINT MARKETING DESIGN

Hit them in the mailbox!  In a highly digital world, there is a huge misconception that print is dead.  NO!  Print lives!  With the norm of being flooded with digital images in our digital world, give your clients something tangible this bountiful season.  Whether you develop flyers, tri-fold brochures, tear-offs, postcards, letters, signs or banners, customize your promotions with print media.  Use custom url’s in your print campaign to gauge effectiveness!

THANKSGIVING PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Digital graphics may not always be able to cut the mustard at the Thanksgiving table.  Be sure to consider professional photos as a way to offer compelling images to your clients and potential clients.  Pairing your goods and services with holiday-themed photography can push you ahead of your competition this year.  Targeting Pro Marketing has done professional photography for industries such as restaurants, catering, real estate, construction, gardening, landscape, wood working, and more!  If your goods or services are tailored for the seasons, then your marketing should be as well!  Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, and if you are not including relevant images to your marketing routine, your may be missing out on a huge opportunity for this major holiday.

 

THANKSGIVING SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING / ADVERTISING

Nothing says social like Thanksgiving!  The stellar holiday for getting connected, especially through the popular social media outlets.  Facebook is by far the strongest contender for being time effective.  It is the most popular social platform, and can be coupled with Facebook's paid advertising campaigns to reach even more Fans!  Fun holiday graphics are welcomed by social media users where they don’t take things too seriously and you can also capitalize on the “sharing is caring” effect.  When Facebook users see a product or service they love, they are not afraid to share it to their list is a “got to have” this holiday (hint, hint, am I right?).  Don't forget to add any fun holiday pictures from “around the office” or your company event – people really love to see the “real life faces” behind organizations, and it really adds that human touch we can all connect with.

 

THANKSGIVING BLOG CONTENT CREATION

Keeping fresh, relative content on your blog can be difficult.  This is especially true when you are busy with all the activities of the holidays!  That being said, we cannot stress enough the extreme importance of unique content to gain organic web traffic.  When you pair your unique blog articles with email and social media to push traffic to your website, you create an exponential platform for your firm foundation of solid content.  Write relevant informational articles pertaining to your business.  Be sure to include topics like what types of problems your company solves, what types of services you provide, who your target audience is, and take the time to answer some of the more common questions your clientele tends to have.  Keep your target audience in mind, and what types of issues your company or products solve for them, and tailor your articles to include that information.  Coupling your unique blog content with compelling custom graphics will really give the one-two punch for readers! Don't get left behind this year with your marketing efforts, you can always ask for help with your marketing so you can get back to what you do best - running your business.

THANKSGIVING PROMOTIONS

While companies are fighting for client attention during the busy holiday season, things can get a wee bit intimidating when you are out there trying to carve out a name for yourself (especially for small business owners).  It is the perfect time to sit down and hammer out what kinds of deals you can give your best current clients, and what types of specials will attract new clients.  You can easily target your best specials for your past clients (remember what we said about them being the best source for new business?) with a combination of marketing techniques.  Targeting new customers?  Create a special coupon code or landing page on your website to track how well your efforts are paying off.
