QUESTION #1:IT’S THE HOLIDAYS… HOW DO WE MAKE OUR CAMPAIGNS
SPARKLE?
![Page 3: Live Q&A: Holiday Digital Advertising Strategies](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052915/5a6719a57f8b9aaa098b45dd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Digital advertising during the holiday season is competitive (and pricey). Think strategically about costs and audience recall before bidding.

TIP #2:GET ORGANIZED AND OPTIMIZE.
We all know that things move at hyper-speed when you get back after the break. Your team works hard—you deserve to enjoy the time out of office.
Take some time to set your January bids before you head out and do a last round of optimizations to get things ready to rock when you return.

TIP #3:ADJUST SPEND BASED ON YOUR ADMISSIONS CYCLE.
Still have seats to fill in the spring? Get aggressive with higher-intent strategies and messaging focused on filling those final spots.
Heading into a new admissions cycle? Focus on channels that build awareness and strategies that complement your upcoming events.

TIP #4:SPREAD SOME HOLIDAY CHEER WITH MESSAGING FOR THE SEASON.

QUESTION #5:SHOULD WE TARGET OTHERS WITH OUR
HOLIDAY SPIRIT WHILE STUDENTS ARE AWAY?
![Page 13: Live Q&A: Holiday Digital Advertising Strategies](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052915/5a6719a57f8b9aaa098b45dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TIP #5:TRY NEW AUDIENCE TARGETING TACTICS.
You spend a good portion of your marketing efforts focused on recruitment. The holidays provide an interesting opportunity to test messaging for other audiences while prospects might be less engaged.

QUESTION #6:IS IT THE MOST
WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR TO EXPLORE
NEW AD CHANNELS?

TIP #6:OUR MOTTO? IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO EXPLORE NEW CHANNELS.
Spotify. Snapchat. Reddit. The social media landscape is constantly evolving and changing. New opportunities present themselves everyday. There are tons of unchartered (at least by EDU) channels to explore if you’ve got room in your budget in the new year.

TIP #8:CONNECT THE DOTS AND CONTINUE NURTURING.
A prospect inquired or started an application. Now what? Communication workflows and call tracking are your friend. A little organization and a set lead nurturing strategy makes it easy for prospects to further engage with you and enroll in your programs.

TIP #9:CREATE FUN (AND USEFUL) CONTENT. VIDS. GIFS. E-CARDS.
There are many ways to incorporate motion into your holiday messaging, from fancy camerawork to simply animating text or graphics.
Increase engagement by encouraging student participation in holiday videos. But keep it short and sweet!
