Holiday season is now underway<\/strong>—just over 30\u00a0 days until Christmas is here.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss the boat this holiday gifting season = lots of $$$ going to be spent in every industry\/space –\u00a0 get those customers spending with you! Don’t stand on sidelines! Go after them.<\/p>\n

How you say?<\/p>\n

Market to your customers using various ways: (we can help with the ones we listed below and more)<\/p>\n

Holiday ideas for businesses<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2713 Online ads Google, Facebook, twitter, re-target ads, mobile ads, your local community websites & networks – much less cost than you would think.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Print campaigns & direct mail – see here: businessninja.ca\/print <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2713 Social media\/social selling strategy!<\/p>\n

\u2713 Promotions\/offers<\/p>\n

\u2713 Send out thank-you\/greeting cards with an offer<\/p>\n

\u2713 Offer gift cards (increase revenue & cash flow now, provide the service later)<\/p>\n

\u2713 Lead gen\/landing page offers<\/p>\n

\u2713 Treat your existing customers like gold! It is easier to market to existing customer base than to market to new customers. Trust is has always been the key to marketing. If your existing customers trust you, you have done 75% of your marketing, find a way to keep getting referrals from your existing base.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Hand out motivational business’s cards (We can print 1000 QTY for $24.95 fast, no artwork? No problem we can handle this to)\u00a0 – on other side of the business card put your holiday offer on it- hand out to everyone you meet next couple of weeks, see your sales increase.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Send out an email asking your existing clients for referrals, if they liked your service\/products in the past they will not mind referring others. If they do refer a tip is to do something for their loyalty, something, anything goes along way. Can be a hand written letter (not email) with a nice personal message. This way it makes the person who refereed you new business feel good and keeps you top of their mind for future referrals from them – Win -Win!<\/p>\n

\u2713 Simple D.I.Y. (do it yourself) videos – 30 seconds to 1 min (use Capture App on iphone,a\u00a0 great video app) and highlight the top 3 products or services they can buy from you this season – make it fun and holiday theme, be creative – get your team or pet(s) involved and send to all your contacts, post on social media and email your contacts – ask them to share.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Meet people, network, pitch everyone \ud83d\ude42 rinse, repeat!<\/p>\n

\u2713 Think outside your normal COI’s (Centre Of influences) – nobody thinks the Tailor that provides $500 to $3,000 in suits is a good COI – wrong thinking, they have best relationships with their clients! Leverage their networks,\u00a0 we’ve got more referrals from our Tailor COI than anyone as of yet. Treat your Tailor like king, they will take care of you.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Do a pre-holiday event or appreciation sale at exclusive pricing for your existing customers, friends & family – can be done at location or online event!<\/p>\n

\u2713 Engage on social media – just don’t post! It’s like going to a real networking event – handing out your info \/cards with out ever talking to a human! Engage, ask questions or simply say hello to someone in your network to open a conversation and learn if any synergies are in play.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Provide best customer experience you can and ask them for a testimonial on google plus, Facebook or via email\u00a0 and best to post it all on your website.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Smile, enjoy this time of year, take daily walks – suck in the fresh winter air & sometimes in life & business that’s all you need up Do!<\/p>\n

Just a few ideas we wanted to share with you, use one of them or all of them, depends how busy you want to be really.<\/p>\n

As they say out of mind – out of sight! \ud83d\ude42 In business you want to always be in sight for both your existing customers and new customers.<\/p>\n
