Brainstorm Seasonal Deals, Specials, & Promotions

With the transition from warmer to cooler weather and all the holidays in between, there’s plenty of opportunities to generate more business and sales in October, November, and December.

Retail businesses can look forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas as prime sales events with weeks of build-up and promotion. This will also be the time of year when contractors help customers prepare their homes for winter.

Even if your company’s peak season doesn’t fall within Q4, there are other ways you can get creative through sales and various promotions.

With the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing and the holidays and cold weather approaching, special offers on services can go a long way for financially strapped consumers. Something like a discounted haircut, teeth cleaning, or a deal on car maintenance could make all the difference to someone struggling to afford these services within their monthly budget. So, why not put the focus in Q4 back on your customers and end 2021 on an empathetic note.

Once you’ve come up with the ways you’re going to draw in more customers, it’s time to execute on them!

Increase Your Social Media Traction

As people begin to spend more time indoors and prepare for the upcoming holiday season, your social media presence will become all the more important. This is prime time to build brand awareness, gain more followers, and direct traffic to your website.

Whether it be a change in business hours, an upcoming deal or promotion, or a shout-out to an employee or loyal customer, post about it on your social media pages. Stay active on your social media pages, publishing posts at least twice a week, or preferably more.

In your social media posts, always include links to your website, your business phone number, other contact information, your location, as well as relevant hashtags. You can further engage with your followers by taking the time to read their comments and respond on an individual basis.

Use PPC Advertising to Your Advantage

When it comes to targeting a local or regional audience and converting more clicks into sales leads, the nature of the game is all about pay-per-click advertising. Specifically, Google Ads can help your company hone in on high-value keywords, appear higher on search engine results pages, and generate more clicks to your website.

If converting more web traffic into sales leads is a high priority in Q4, Google Ads can produce better results more quickly than organic website optimization. We also recommend Google Ads if your company’s peak season falls within Q4.

Looking to improve your Facebook following? You could also kickstart a Facebook ad campaign to gain more visibility, increase your number of followers, and convert views into potential sales. With Facebook ads, it’s easier to narrow down your audience on the social platform and target prospective customers searching for your products or services.
