With summer coming to a close and school starting back up, it’s a fresh start for business owners, teachers, families, etc. So, how can you use this season to your advantage?
Host an Online Giveaway
Giveaways are a great way to create a lot of buzz about a product or service you’re offering and build relationships with potential customers. Create a solid plan for your giveaway and then engage with your online audience by asking their opinion on the giveaway prize. Asking for their involvement will allow you to determine what your most popular products and services are. By involving your audience, you cater to their exact needs.
Giveaways can also help grow your following. For example, having your followers post on their story as a way to enter the giveaway allows their followers to view your content. This type of giveaway is an effective way for potential customers to easily find you from someone they already know.
Prepare for the Holidays Ahead
Fall is a great time to experiment with your marketing strategy for the bigger holiday season ahead. By running fall-themed promotions and getting creative with email campaigns, you can test your results and identify how your customers are reacting and engaging to the content they’re being presented. Tweaking your end of year strategy based on marketing experiments can be a great way to achieve further success.
