Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you haven’t thought about your holiday marketing plans, now is the time to do so! Here are a few ideas to get you started (and if you can think of any more, please leave them in the comments section)
- Do some research and make a list of popular men’s blogs. Contact them and ask to have your product featured as a gift idea. (Men never know what to purchase their ladies!)
- Have an “I Love My Customers Sale” and offer a discount on some of your products / services (email your newsletter list, tweet about it on Twitter, post it on your Facebook Fan Page, etc)
- Are you a service based biz owner? Create a special package for the holiday – such as buy two graphics, get one free or purchase 5 hours of virtual assistant work, receive a free WordPress update, etc
- If you create products, create a special Valentine’s themed product
- Offer free customization on products (if applicable)
- Stephanie Tardy of Handmade Detroit offered this suggestion during a recent #indiebizchat – Don’t forget singles! Create some “pamper yourself” products or sales
