Holiday Marketing Tips

Looking to successfully market your small business this holiday season? eMarketing247 wants to help you maximize your profits by sharing some insider tips and tricks! Here are five holiday marketing tips to get your sales on the role:

1. Create Limited Time Offers. Limited time offers encourage customers to buy now since the deal won't be around forever. Creating limited time offers during the holiday season is a perfect way to entice consumers to make a purchase for that special someone on their Christmas list. 
2. Highlight your Specialty. In business, you always want to highlight what makes your business special. This concept becomes even more important during the holiday season, when shoppers are simply looking for the fastest, cheapest deal. Use marketing to tell your customers why your product is better/cheaper/higher quality than a similar product found at Walmart or a department store. 
3. Hire Santa to come to your Business. Own a brick-and-mortar store? Hire a Santa to come to your store and offer free holiday pictures. This strategy works even better if your business is located in a shopping district, such as Tampa Bay, Florida's "Hyde Park Village" or "Ybor City" areas. Potential customers will come for Santa but may stay for your business.
4. Host a "12 Days of Christmas" sale. Offer a different discount, deal, coupon, giveaway etc. for twelve consecutive days prior to Christmas. This is a great way to spotlight different products and generate a buzz about your business. 
5. Take Clients out to Lunch. Run a business-to-business company? Instead of hosting a corporate holiday party for all of your business clients, take each client out to lunch individually. This way, you will get one-on-one time with each client while saving some money at the save time.

Instagram Marketing Tips

You’ve got an Instagram account … now what? There are over 130 million users currently on Instagram! Instagram is a great way to give potential customers a visual overview of your business. Insagram allows you to enhance images and even videos to make them more desirable to consumers. 

Check out a few Instagram marketing tips from eMarketing247's CFO Mike Harley:

Be fresh: When posting content to Instagram, be sure it is fresh, meaningful and unique. Avoid reposting images or videos that you've already shared or that can be found elsewhere. Rather, opt for original content that’s both new and relevant.

Post consistently: Posts should be shared consistently and in real-time. Avoid scheduling canned content. Although Forbes® magazine tells us there is really no known downside to high-frequency posting, the average brand posts 1.5 times per day. Also, focus on sharing spontaneous moments riddled with emotion such as real laughter, kindness, care … you get the picture.

Use hashtags: The use of hashtags (words or phrases with the “#” symbol in front of them) is very popular among Instagram users. You can hashtag your content by subject matter, geolocation or event to help users find your business and its content. Some of the top hashtags used on Instagram include “#love,” “#me” and “#follow.” A word to the wise: there can be too much of a good thing—limit hashtags to no more than five. Any more than that and you risk annoying your audience.

Be engaging: Posting content that’s engaging helps your business keep and attract more followers. Accomplish this by following complementary accounts, liking content, commenting on pictures and responding to comments posted about your content. You can further engage followers with photo contests. For instance, post a picture and ask followers to caption it for a chance to win a prize, such as a digital photo frame or digi-frame key tag. Or crowd source pictures of your followers engaged with your product or service.

Wow! That was a lot of information to digest. Still have more questions on how to use Instagram for marketing? Contact us!

Why Do You Need a New Website?

Many business owners ask "why do I need a new website when mine seems to be just fine?" Well, a website gives potential customers their first impression of your business. If your website is "just fine" instead of "spectacular," potential customers will get the impression that your business is only average. Definitely not what you were going for, right?

We have so much to say on this subject that it would take three days to write it all down. Instead, we made this short video for you to watch so that you can understand the importance of a new website!

Take a look:

Making so many changes to an existing website is almost like ripping out the seam on a pair of pants, and trying to sew them back together. Sometimes it is just better to start fresh and build and entirely new and improved version of your original website. Your customers will thank you!
