316. Bosses & Breakfast: Holiday Marketing and Messaging

In our Bosses & Breakfast live show, we discussed the ways that businesses, big and small, are already starting to market for the holiday season, what you can learn from them, and what you should be doing, yourself. It went down so well that we wanted to bring you a snippet from the show and encourage you to go and watch the full thing!

Christmas is here! It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but all of the big stores have already switched over their branding for the holidays. They’ve done the hard work and laid the groundwork, so now it’s time to follow their leads! The Shop 1 in 5 business directory has been festively transformed, too.

It can seem early to be thinking about it, but it’s so important to set the mood, and get customers ready for when they decide that they want to do their holiday shopping, whether it’s right now or Christmas Eve. 

The aim should be to create an experience for consumers that turns shopping into more than a chore that needs to be completed. Turning your store – online or otherwise – into an activity or something fun makes it all the easier to gently nudge shoppers toward seeing the potential of your products as gifts. Connect the dots for them, and they’ll thank you for doing them a favor!
