6 Holiday Marketing Strategies to Maximize Your Advertising Efforts

 

  1.  Offer Special Deals – Reward your best customers for their loyalty throughout the year by giving exclusive discounts or personal gifts based on their purchase history. Also, don’t forget to take advantage of the highest selling days of the season. Offer special promotions for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. 
  2. Create Dedicated Holiday Landing Pages – Send customers to a special page from your social media and emails campaigns. Be sure to have several different designs and do some split testing to determine the highest converting pages. 
  3. Implement a Social Media Campaign – Use holiday specific images, videos, hashtags and special offers to attract customers willing to spend. This is the time when they are starting to search for deals! Encouraging social media interaction will also get people in the holiday spirit of shopping. 
  4. Focus on an Email Campaign – Use email more often to get customers excited about upcoming deals. Make sure to triple your marketing efforts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Offer a contest, game or countdown to get more engagement. Don’t forget to add a popup subscribe form to your website and welcome new email subscribers with a discount code as well. 
  5. Give Back to the Community – Show support to the community by sponsoring a food drive or collecting clothing and toys for needy families. Many of your customers are looking for ways to make the season more meaningful by sharing with those less fortunate. 
  6. Create a Holiday Video – Get your team together for a fun and inviting holiday video. There’s nothing more personal than sending good wishes to your customers and showing your fun personality at the same time!

5 Tips for Successful Content Marketing Strategy

5 Tips for Successful Content Marketing Strategy 

Content marketing gives small businesses a chance to become publishers of valuable information and allows them a better success rate when competing with larger competitors.  While any business can publish and curate content, many brands have a hard time developing the mindset to create a consistent flow of new, interesting information. 

Content Marketing Mix 

According to the experts, a best-in-class content marketing mix should consist of: 

  • 65% original content (created by your business)
  • 25% curated content
  • 10% syndicated content

Sharing a marketing mix of different sources of high value content can help with leveraging your resources more efficiently, while better engaging your target audience. 

Want to know more? Here’s 5 tips for creating a successful content marketing strategy. 

 

5 Tips for Successful Content Marketing Strategy 

 

1. Identify Your Ideal Customers – This is a key in order to create an effective roadmap for your content marketing strategy. Where do your customers hang out in real life and online? What forums and websites do they visit? What challenges do they face and what kind of content can you create that will help them overcome these challenges? Buyers are already overwhelmed by the amount of content that businesses generate, so it is imperative to focus on quality instead of quantity.
 

2. Repurpose Content – Don’t waste your marketing budgets on recreating content that already exists. Convert existing content into quality one that is well-thought-out in order to be well-received, hence leading to more conversions. There are undoubtedly presentations, proposals, brochures and action plans that can be adapted for content marketing purposes.
 

Content Marketing3. Perform Content Audit – Replace or remove outdated content from your website, brochures, presentations and action plans. Few businesses visit their own website on a regular basis and often fail to identify outdated information. A content audit will show you where you need to remove and replace old legacy content.
 

4. Share Quality Content – If you’re working with content that’s more than five years old, you might find that it contains good information but the tone, style and focus don’t hit the mark anymore. Improving and tweaking existing content can stretch your marketing budget and make your content more effective.
 

5. Use Content in New and Creative Ways – Transform case studies into downloadable infographics, turn internal company news into blog posts or short form video content, and post photos from your conferences and work functions to Pinterest and Facebook. Make your content strategy as far-reaching and effective as possible using innovative ways to turn it into multimedia, news items or any type of content that your target audience would want to consume. 

 

As you can see, curating content that is meaningful in an organized, valuable way can be a valuable part of any successful content marketing strategy. But what if most small businesses can’t spend too much time on creating quality content?  This is where you can outsource help!

5 Key Components to Effective Content Marketing for Your Business

Creating fresh and engaging content on a consistent basis may be an intimidating prospect for any overwhelmed business owner. However, if you take the time to create a marketing plan and content publishing calendar, the results can be rewarding.

Search engines are hungry for new relevant content to serve up to searchers and those businesses that post content that best matches keywords and search terms will have a greater chance of making it to the front page, which should be every company’s goal.

While the top Google listing still gets about 1/3 of all clicks, the organic results earning the 2nd, 3rd, and 4thspot now receive the other 63% of the clicks, leaving only 4% of clicks for anything lower. [Via Business 2 Community]
