Leveraging the the silly season

Whether you are a retailer or supplier, your business has just 2 more months to get your website ready to make the most out of the Xmas silly season.

Retailers generally feel sales start to spike from as early as mid October, especially if they are savvy enough to stimulate this spike by promoting quick and easy Xmas presents through their website and e-mail marketing.

Many businesses miss out on sales by making the mistake of waiting until the Xmas rush has already begun to look at implementing an online marketing plan...

Meanwhile, suppliers have the opportunity to promote their services, to make the build up to Xmas and the New Year smoother for the businesses they work with. Alternatively, Xmas presents the great excuse to merely touch base with your clients and see if you can help them in anyway.

Many businesses make the mistake of waiting until the Xmas rush has already begun to look at implementing an Xmas online marketing plan. Don't miss out on your opportunity to make the most out of Xmas this year - get planning now.

The 2 months before Xmas poem

‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the land,
Busy people were fraught, with no presents planned.
Christmas carols and cheer couldn’t drown out their screams,
While crowded stores and no parks danced in their dreams.

With deadlines to achieve and client meetings to be had,
Professionals were left solemn, guilty, defeated and sad.
Tear-drenched cheeks, angry partners and divorce was the fear.
Who would save Christmas when there was no time to spare?

Then, in their inbox there appeared their unlikely salvation,
An answer for the disorganised and overworked of the nation.
Website owners in the know, had sent e-mail messages with glee,
Offering products to be delivered and placed under the tree.

Websites setup to make it easy when buying for him or her,
Were rewarded with sales that would make anyone purr.
E-mails were forwarded and other Christmas’ were saved,
While people bookmarked the website that had that they craved.

Those sites with “reminder calendars” were filled with dates,
Valentines Day, Easter, anniversaries, birthdays of mates.
With one well-timed email, the website subscribership grew,
Leaving the owner with profits that made him smile and coo.

Are you using your site to leverage the chaos of the season?
If not, we hope that you do, or don’t with good reason.
Don't forget to touch base with those you hold dear,
So you'll have pre-sales and a large database ready next year!
