5 Benefits to Seasonal Marketing

It’s almost Valentine’s Day! I really don’t know where the time flies. And, although we all lament the passing of time too quickly, the changing seasons present a great opportunity to market your products/services and get your company’s name in front of folks.

One small way I honor the changing “seasons”  is by posting seasonal photos on my homepage – it’s fun and it let’s my viewers know I update my site regularly.

Seasonal Marketing is as old as, well the holidays. But, you can make Seasonal Marketing work for you.

Here’s 5 Benefits to Seasonal Marketing:

1. Publicity. Holiday promotions are a great way to increase publicity for your business. You can increase activity on your website, FB Page, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts by posting relevant content pertaining to seasonal holidays and events. Seasonal tips & tricks are always welcome to busy families and business people.

2. Consumers spend more for “holidays.” People are more likely to spend during holiday celebrations. Discounts and gift cards are great ways for consumers to take advantage of your products and services for their friends and family.

3.  Predictability. Your clients will anticipate holiday messages from you. They will learn to expect that spectacular July 4th discount or March Madness contest. Consistent holiday seasonal marketing will create excitement for your holiday recipes or juicy tidbits on holiday business tips.

4. Urgency. There’s no better way to urge folks to buy than a limted-time offer! Seasonal offers have an end point. And customers don’t like to miss a special sale.

5. Creativity. Seasonal offers prove to your customers that you are creative and care about them. Seasonal offers are not limited to traditional “holidays.” I like to offer my customers a “March Madness” discount. The “March Madness” special sets me apart and takes advantage of the college basketball hoopla that is already gets of lots of attention in the media.

Seasonal Marketing is a great way to connect with your present clients and attract new clients. With planning and creativity, seasonal marketing helps your business attract attention and stand out from the crowd!
