I cannot believe the Holiday season is here and I wish you to have the most memorable holiday season! I am very grateful for the opportunity to become an entrepreneur and share my knowledge with you. I am a street smart. I learn a lot of things on my own even though I have a degree in English and foreign language but my passion for writing allowed to discover new things about myself and how I can serve others to fullfil my purpose. I am very grateful for my family and we all wish you an amazing and magic holiday experience!
With Christmas season approaching stores are offering black friday deals and all pre-holiday specials to get you in the door. But what about you? What have you done to create a success for your internet business that you love so much? We always think that only big chains, big names can afford to offer great deals and make it look fancy and attractive but believe me if you are building YOUR BRAND INC., you must have it in your arsenal. When everybody thinks they cannot do you must do it.
Here are some simple ways to make you stand out in the crowd and perfect time to show the world who you are and why they need to be a part of your circle. Let me show you the fun ways to attract customers during holiday season and increase your personal sales.
1. Trends, News
Check google trends, msn news and even black friday websites and see what people are looking and what is so hot that people have to have during holidays. You know that everyone wants to have something that others do have and it is becoming a race but good news for you is that you can use that as leverage and create you the name during the season when other marketers think that people do not look. People look more than ever and it is a fact.
For example, if you see someone is looking for a camera to buy and see what hot cameras are use that in your ads and show your buyers how they can get that camera with your help which means offering them a way to earn extra income. see what people want and complain too to get attention!
2. Write Press Releases.
When it comes to press releases I think they are the best PR tool. Do not confuse PR with press releases. PR stands for public relations and it includes press releases as a tool to generate buyers. Talk about promotions, holiday specials your company or personally you plan to have. Start writing today and announce that special give-a-way event or do something like 12 days of christmas. Create theme around your business or product.
3. Host Your Own Black Friday sale
Lets call it Virtual Black Sunday or Saturday, whatever you think makes you happy!
Send people to your sales page instead of lead page and give them that product for less price. Example if you sell even affiliate product with full resale rights you can low the price and offer that for less than everyone else and then ask them to sign up for updates when they get email from you to say THANK YOU!
4. Create Promotional Holiday Videos
Make it fun and easy to watch with a theme about your products and how they are related to hot products that are sold online. Always have connection with something that people WANT. It could be toys, electronics. People fight for them and you show them how you can solve that problem by showing them how to create income to purchase them without going to the stores at 5 am in the morning.
5. Holiday Blog Advice
Give holiday tips on how to save money, make money, fun family stuff… It does not have to business related but it is fun and gives you more exposure. Best business owners connect with other business owners and contribute to their blog with tips because they know it can help both parties and you look good as a Santa helper and they have content on the blog.
6. Book your events for 2010
If you love speaking, connect with local business owners now till december 31 to book speaking engagement on how to create income or how to improve their business with the marketing methods you know well and show them how they can use your help in the new year. Announce about your webinar, teleclass and even make press release.
7. Give, Give, Give
Give away a free class that you usually charge for on a certain date. Sell your products and services and announce that percentage will go to a charity or special holiday programs for kids as an example. be creative! Become Santa for one day.. Make it fun and have even a virtual christmas party. Send invitations and ask for referals that would be rewarded.
It will allow you to plant seeds in december for the upcoming year. Do not slow down because others think nobody cares. They do and people buy more than ever in holiday season but they also are looking for deals to save money and even add extra cash to pay the holiday shopping bills.
Have Fun! Enjoy Holiday Season!
