Keep It Simple and Short

Aside from mistletoe, the holidays aren't the best time to introduce an innovative brand design or message. People are bombarded by messages and images to purchase and buy immediately.

• Add seasonal elements to the existing colors/designs of your brand• Create your own brand identity with holiday themes or tales• Make use of clear and easy-to-understand fonts and images for graphics and signs.

Build Excitement

Nothing is more popular than excitement. This is the perfect time to make the most of the major shopping days of the holiday season to make promotions centered around. Make people feel more excited by using countdowns to sales coming up and also include dates for sale completion to createa sense of supply and exclusivity.

A well-planned campaign or contest that revolves around a theme of the holidays maintains the momentum leading towards a major sale. Utilize designs or lighting on your retail signage that are attractive and visible to create a sense of excitement, urgency, and awe. Consider installing LED neon signs to make your brand stand out from your competitors.

Visit Your Client

No matter where your customer base is located, you should be there. One way to be in front of your customers and not appear commercial is to use influencer marketing and partnership marketing. Areyour customer's avid hikers?

Get the top leaders of a major hiking club or association to evaluate and review the product with their members or put the logo of your company on their site advertising a discount for members only. Are your potential customers attending events or festivals?

Make large banners for backdrops for photos at events or inquire about inclusion in swag bags for events or giveaways. If your customers are shopping online, in-store or on social media, or at festivals, find out the shopping habits, methods, and lifestyles they like and be to know them.

Personalize Your Message

Another method to make your brand stand out and not be over-commercialized can be to tie your Christmas promotion with a meaningful, creative and memorable message that your audience can identify with.

Your brand's story should make your customers feel connected using inclusive terms like "YOU" as well as "WE" within your communications. Ask your customers questions or include humor in your marketing message. Get in touch with your customers through making content like videos, blogs, podcasts or social media-related graphics, etc.

Make sure that your content is identical to your brand on all channels. Stories can be powerful and help increase trust. Encourage clients to tell their happy experiences of your service or product on social media.

If your business is unique in its tagline or image, you may make key elements of your retail signage into window stickers or window decals that your customers are proud to show off on their own, thereby expanding your reach in the marketplace and spreading your word-of-mouth.

Create a Shopper Experience

Despite the increasing popularity of online shopping, 46% of customers say they prefer buying in stores. This is a great opportunity to make shopping an experience. The attractive signage that is visible both on the outside and inside your store, a tidy and welcoming layout all over and QR codes on a properly-placed display at the point of sale can link your customers with your website. 

Digital signs or a custom Instagrammable backdrop or sign in the store could be combined with a particular hashtag to allow customers to post a humorous and likable image of your store. 

Online shoppers can benefit from the ability to click internet-based signs (similar to your retail signage) interactive quizzes, videos and much more and will create a solid and comprehensive on-and offline shopping experience for holiday shoppers.

Give Back

Nothing says Christmas more than giving back. Join forces with a non-profit organization and have a sign-up at all their events. The combination of promotion and fundraising can be a method of giving back and increasing awareness of your brand. Also, be prepared to give more during the season of giving.

A display announcing a discounted or free service such as gift wrapping as well as shipping unique coupons for customers to join your rewards program could make a huge difference in the number ofsales.
