For customers, holidays mean spending on gifts for friends and family. For businesses however, holidays equate to higher consumer spending, which equates to higher revenue.
Because it is the biggest and most anticipated season, a lot of preparation is needed to capture the minds and interests of consumers. Website and digital marketers need not look further for a guide of different content marketing ideas for their website for the holidays. Here are some of the ideas you can use for your eCommerce business website.
Gift guides for the holidays
Highlight your featured products while at the same time fulfilling the need of giving your customers what they like through a gift guide. Customers during this period are thinking of what to give their friends and family so this guide can be a great idea to remind them of what items you have to offer.
You can segment the gift guide for different people, curating different types of products for each type of person regardless if they are kids, parents, or friends. You can go really specific with these guides and curate the products to show the best that you have to offer.
Holiday-related design and photos
Who doesn’t love photos depicting different holidays and festivities? This is the best time to decorate your usual website and show some of that holiday character. Have a Christmas-related photo as your website splash image, add these photos in your banners around the website, to name a few examples.
Remind your customers that you are also thinking of the holidays just like them. If you have photos of your staff or team with holiday garb, then you can also display that in your website for that extra holiday cheer. This just doesn’t apply to your website though, if you have social media accounts, add lots of holiday-themed imagery and design to complement your website.
Holiday Savings and budget tips
If there’s anything customers like as much as holiday shopping, then it is getting great discounts and deals. Anyone loves a great discount as that means that they can have that money allocated in many other places.
Center your content around this topic by doing a unique promotion or a blog articulating how they can save during the holidays while plugging in one of your offerings.
Holiday email send-outs
If you have a customer subscriber list, then it is time to put that to good use. The difference with email marketing is that these are good pushes to get a sale. Send an email detailing the different promotions and offers you have to entice consumers to visit your website and make that purchase. Pair it with a strong call-to-action button to get them to click to your site and you’re good to go.
End-of-the-year wrap-up posts
What better way to end the year than by rounding up the ‘bests’ that there is? If content marketing is something that you have been doing for a while, then chances are you already have a good slate of content. Look back at some of your best pieces and round them up for your visitors to see.
You can also do a different approach to the wrap-up posts. Think of your best-selling products or services and place them in a blog and tell your visitors more about them. You can also go the trend route and recap the trends in your industry that have been instrumental, and look ahead to what trend might be something to look out for next year.
Get started on your website content!
As the saying goes, content is king. Pair your website with good content to not just keep your visitors enticed but also to keep them coming back for more. Put yourself in your customer’s shoes and think of content that they would appreciate and work backward to push out campaigns that are relevant to them. Don’t forget the keywords you wish to target and strong CTA buttons to help you make that sale.
