Create a Holiday Promotional Strategy
Everyone loves a sale! Promotions for special days, including holidays, help drive retail foot traffic, website visits, and sales. Create a promotional calendar for key retail holidays to take advantage of periods with high shopping activity.
Try out different types of sales with your promotional strategy – Buy One, Get One, 10% Off, Free Shipping. Measure your lift in sales during promotions to learn the lift in activity to expect for different incentives.
If you offer products or services that are re-sold, provide your distributors with a kit of graphics for each holiday, and maximize your promotions.
