In the lead up to Christmas, things can get slightly crazy! Having your Christmas marketing plans sorted helps to reduce the overwhelm while ensuring that customers know all about your products - and buy them! One of the major problems retailers face is the volume of information customers receive at this time of the year, through email campaigns, social media, print media and paid advertisements.
Rising above this and getting noticed is really hard work, so we've put together a collection of 25 creative Christmas marketing ideas for you to consider using during your marketing campaigns in the lead up to the holidays.
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.
