The Do's And Don'ts Of Long Island Advertising During The Holidays

By Paula Hess


The holidays are meant to foster giving, togetherness, and kindness, but this doesn't mean that the majority of people won't be frantically shopping. Anyone that's involved in Long Island advertising will agree, which brings us to the topic of marketing itself. To be more specific, how should one market their business during this busy time of year? The following do's and don'ts will help you do exactly that.

If your goal is to leverage digital marketing during the holidays, stay competitive. Other businesses, your competitors included, will try to garner as much attention as possible. You can do the same by offering deals and exclusive offers that can't be found elsewhere. Give potential shoppers a reason to buy from you as opposed to elsewhere. This is just one of the many tips that authorities on marketing, fishbat included, can provide.

Next, look at opportunities to get involved on a local level. If you were to ask anyone in their late 20s or early 30s what the most important aspect of a business is, they may respond with activity in the community. How exactly does a business give back to others? Do they get involved in charities? Are they inclined to take part in runs? These are just a few examples of smaller activities that, though indirectly, can help with holiday marketing.

When it comes to the "don'ts" of holiday marketing, a lack of social media utilization is a good place to begin. Simply put, if you're a business owner, you should have some kind of social networking presence. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are effective for reaching out to others, particularly from a business standpoint. Without social media, your marketing efforts are not going to be nearly as impactful as they should be.

As you continue to market during the holidays, don't forget to evaluate results. From one day to the next, you should be aware of how your strategy is performing. Is it performing at your expectations? Is it performing below said expectations? These are just a few questions to ask so that, if need be, you can make any necessary changes. In turn, this will make your holiday marketing efforts all the more effective.
