| Whether or not you sell a product or service that you consider suitable as a Christmas gift, you may want to take advantage of our creative Christmas suggestions. Think outside the wrapped gift. Of course, there are gift cards for services, but we have ideas and suggestions that can help any business prosper throughout the Christmas season and beyond.
Have a plan. Have you included website updates and maintenance in your budget?* If you're doing your own maintenance, then be sure to budget time over the next few months to keep that site updated. It's important to have accurate information on there. For example, if your hours change, be sure to get that updated pronto.
* Compare the cost of web maintenance with print advertising. You'll be very surprised by how economical your website is, especially when you start advertising in all the special sections and new publications.
Here are some suggestions that are so simple and take only a few minutes!
- Put your web address in your ads. Most websites have UNLIMITED space to describe, compare and SELL your product. But, customers won’t see that information unless they get to your website. So help out your poor, uninformed customers! Give them your web address over and over and over again wherever and whenever you can. It works. It makes you money.
- Send us your print ads. EVERYTHING you advertise in print should be online. Everything. Whether you’re a BeeLine customer or not, we can help you PUT IT ON YOUR SITE where customers can see it all day every day.
- Post your web address in your store. Simple, huh? Your business is open 24/7 online. Do your brick-and-mortar customers know that yet?
- HELP your customers shop. Do you plan extended hours for the Christmas season? Well, let them know! Do you usually have a Christmas Open House? Or a deer season widows weekend? Start telling them now! Help them plan it into their busy schedules or they’ll go somewhere else to buy gifts.
-
Put a calendar on your site. Yep. This one simple act can have your customers coming back to your site again and again to see what’s going on, extended hours, sale dates. . . yikes! It’s so easy! Calendars are easy to find on your site and very easy to read. Viewers like the organized, box style that display calendars.
OH! We have SO many ideas to help make your Christmas a big success this year. Give us a buzz and we’ll help you plan. And, it all starts in November, before Thanksgiving. So what are you waiting for? Fill your schedule between now and 2011 with profitable business!
