Halloween is over that means that the Happy Holiday Seasonis upon us!
The big boys are ready….Wal-mart, Target, Best Buy,Toys R US, and Macy’s. The question is: Are you? I’ve walked through these stores before the spookiest day of the year ended. Let me tell, the big boys had strategically placed small displays of holiday items intheir stores as early as the second week in October, to let the buying publicknow, they are ready for us!
Let’s play like the big boys and have a Happy Holiday Seasonthat is filled with giving our potential customers great things to purchase, have enough money to shop for the perfect gifts for our loved ones and still have money in our bank accounts when 2013 comes around.
Promote YourProduct/Service As away to make extra money:
Use holiday themed advertising to promote your product orservice. Thousands of people will hit the malls and retail stores seeking towork seasonal hours to help pay for their own purchases. Show them the value ofyour online or small business. Emphasize things like “extra money for theholidays,” “ stay out of the shoppingmadness, working from home." This is a great way to generate leads and recruitsand potential customers.
Highlight a new product or service:
The Apple iPad Mini is definitely on my Christmas List! It was a no brainer that Apple introduced the Mini, on the brink of the biggest shopping season of the year. What item or service can you highlight in your business to draw money cash into your business during this shopping season? Take an inventory of what you have. Hype up your best seller or get creative and come up with something new.
Discounts and Sales:
Everyone loves a bargain, right? What do you have in your inventory that you can discount? Take an assessment of what you have that you can discount and still make a profit. Gifts that are $20 or less will make great stocking stuffers, Secret Santa and trinket gifts.
Last Minute Grabs!
The worst time to shop is Christmas Eve! The stores are usually lack luster and bare with picked over merchandise left on the shelves. Be prepared to be the Godsend for the last minute shopper. Create giftbaskets/bags and even gift cards in all monetary values. Advertise via email, text and social media, what you have. And be ready to exchange cash and debit cards and even Paypal for your merchandise. If you are ready, a last minuteshopper is your customer.
Experiencing a Happy Holiday Season like the big boys is easy!
Internet Marketers and small business owners lets make a profit! Stores like Wal-mart Target, Macy’s and Best Buy are the big boys because they knowhow to play the game. Lets’ study their playbooks, and create so much income this shopping season, that we too end out the year in the black.
After all, that is the ultimate Happy Holiday Season!
Blessings!
