12 Blogs of Christmas - Your Christmas Content

You've been blogging all year long and now that Christmas is approaching, you've run out of ideas about what to post. It's okay though, because you have an entire year's worth of information to share with your website visitors! We've got 12 end-of-year blog ideas for you.


Irresistible Christmas Themed Lead Magnets

Christmas lead magnets are a great way to gain new email subscribers during the festive months. Many eCommerce businesses experience an increase in traffic from visitors looking for Christmas presents, and a lead magnet lets you capture their details in exchange for something they value. While there is nothing technically different between a Christmas themed and a regular lead magnet, one which is tailored to the holidays is more likely to receive a positive response than one which isn't. 

An effective lead magnet is one which demonstrates your expertise, solves a problem, provides value, is instant and relevant. We've put together some examples of irresistible Christmas themed lead magnets you too could use, along with details of tools you could make them with.


Preparing Your Website for Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, except on your website. But that's okay, because we're going to help you remedy this by making a list (and checking it twice) of the things you need to do to prepare your website for the holiday season.
We'll also give you some neat tips on where you can find awesome free Christmas stock images from, where to create your Christmas website graphics and how to upload them to your website, plus examples of Christmas themed lead magnets to add to your website. 
Then there's the answer to the question we get asked most often; should I put my hosting on hold while I take time off work?
