Five Ideas To Help You Formulate Your December Digital Marketing Campaigns

Everyone understands the benefits of advance planning.  The sooner you map out your digital marketing plans, the more time you’ll have to focus on your execution of those plans.
I just saw an interesting chart showing the Halloween season .  I didn’t realize that 35% of all Halloween related purchases are completed in September or before.  And, less than 20% of Halloween sales happen the two weeks prior to Halloween.  So, if you were promoting Halloween in early September you likely sold more Halloween product than the two weeks leading up to Halloween.  Apparently the folks who spend the most on the holiday get an early start.
Here’s an interesting infographic directed at starting your digital Christmas campaigns into September.  Over 13% of major online retailers mentioned Christmas/Holidays in their emails – the most ever in the past 6 years.

So, it’s time to get your plans in place for December 2015 digital marketing or if your plans are already in place for December – how about  “checking it twice.”

Social Media – Social Octane Posting Ideas 

Posting Holiday related content  on your Facebook page is perhaps the easiest way to connect with FaceBook followers and provide them with holiday greetings and ideas for Holiday meal and party planning.
Get a head start by increasing your weekly Facebook posts during late November.  If you’re a subscriber to Social Octane your December posts will be available on line in a few weeks.

Until then, here’s some late November ideas from Social Octane:

Special Deal-ivery – eBlast Ideas

Create Holiday Themed Digital Signage 

For stores on our Digital Signage program, your weekly $10 per store fee covers the use of all our movies so why not create some holiday themed playlists?
If  you’re not on the program…… how about running out today to buy a 32″ flatscreen for the front lobby of your store.  Check Best Buy or other similar stores and you should find one for about $150.
Then, call us to get a media player programmed for your store – and you’re “in business.”
Here’s just a few of the movies that are available and included in your $10 per week subscription fee.
