The Christmas elf and muffle in your company
Behind every company there are always people with stories! Reported by the Christmas fan from maintenance, the Christmas muffle in the call center or the colleague who loves to bring home-made cookies. Tells stories, takes photos or conducts small interviews. This gives your readers and potential customers a look behind the scenes and binds those interested in your company.
Recipes
It is not for nothing that one says, “Love goes through the stomach” – for customer loyalty this sometimes also applies! Ask your employees about their favorite recipes, look for baking and cooking instructions from different regions. These recipes and cooking recommendations, if appropriately designed and with your logo on them, will speak for your company for years to come. Like to think around the corner … besides cookies there are also stollen, roasts, mulled wine, liqueurs and many other things that make the Christmas season so delicious.
Coupons and sales promotions
Even if many do not like to hear it: Christmas is also about BUYING. All the gifts and attentions can go into the money very nicely. Help your customers by giving vouchers. Come up with funny discount codes that have something to do with Christmas. In addition, the Christmas season offers so many opportunities for good sales campaigns. What suits you? Coupons for Santa Claus, savings on Advent Sundays? Or even a product every day that is cheaper? Make sure that the vouchers are valid for so long that they can be redeemed throughout December. Reminds of the expiry of the vouchers and discounts in the following emails. If these sales promotion measures are not suitable for your company, there is also the possibility to entice you to make more purchases, for example with an action such as “Every 6th Buyer Increases” lt 10% discount, or every 10th buyer receives a gift.
Wish you something!
Wish lists are only for children? Not at all! Let your customers put together a shopping basket and give away one of them for a profit. Or what about shaping? Let your readers decide which products will soon receive a discount or which products / services will be included in your portfolio. The positive side effect: You get an insight into the needs and desires of your customers and you can easily turn a subscriber into a Facebook friend or follower on Twitter, Instagram and Co.
