5 Marketing Tips To Leverage the Holiday Season

It’s never too early to start planning.

It’s never too soon to start planning for the holidays, particularly for the promo industry. As Q4 gifting gets underway, distributors should craft a solid marketing plan that helps them stand out from the crowd. Here are five strategies for taking advantage of this bustling season.

1. Start early.
Reach out to repeat clients well in advance of December to share gifting ideas and product suggestions. Encourage them to lock into their plans as early as possible to ensure that sourcing and fulfillment are a breeze. Create social media posts and other content now with gifting options that might spark a prospect’s interest as they finalize holiday plans.

2. Know your audience.
Clients want to be treated like humans, not leads. Knowing your audience will help you determine the best solutions in ways that other business-to-business marketing campaigns might overlook. In a sea of holiday marketing emails, a curated and personalized solution to a prospect’s needs will stand out and lead to higher sales at the end of the year.

3. Go mobile.
Since the holiday season tends to be a break for everyone, your clients are less likely to be at their desks. Consider sending marketing messages through SMS, as well as creating a mobile-friendly landing page in order to maintain touchpoints with clients while they’re away from their computers. But be cautious about overusing texts; a little goes a long way to help avoid annoying your customers.

4. Offer holiday bundles.
Kitting is a great way to get creative with holiday gifting opportunities. Offering a variety of items as part of holiday bundles – and including the option for themed custom packaging – is an upselling opportunity. Or work with suppliers and use their premade bundles to entice clients. Ask your trusted suppliers whether they have themed kits you can offer clients for holiday gifting.

5. Take advantage of Cyber Monday.
Holiday discounts tend to be associated with business-to-consumer marketing, but they can also be applicable for the promo industry. “Just like in retail, the concept of urgency and exclusivity also work in B2B,” according to a LinkedIn post from software development firm UpLead. Consider offering limited-time deals and or flash sales.
