3. Update your business’ branding with some festive flair

Add a Christmas touch to your online and offline brand presence. Include red and green, or iconic elements such as a santa hat or reindeer. This tactic can be implemented to multiple brand touch-points including your website, email, profile and cover photos on social media, and any print media.

4. Have a Christmas contest

Brainstorm unique contest ideas that will generate engagement. Think bigger than just asking your customers to spend a certain amount of money. Use social media and ask your customers to submit photos or videos showcasing their Christmas spirit. Not only will this generate traction and keep your brand top-of-mind, it is also a great way to have fun with your customers!

5. Have a Christmas sale people will want to attend

This might be a ‘duh’ moment for most because almost every business will run a Christmas sale. To make sure your brand stands out, offer rewards that are worthwhile to your customers such as free shipping or a valuable discount code.
