</html><description>Try something new to drive holiday traffic with these &#x201C;Holiday Promotions Your Customers Will Love,&#x201D; from Small Business Computing. It&#x2019;s the best time of the year to push retail products and gift cards. Don&#x2019;t miss out!  One tried and true promotion, according to Small Business Computing, is the &#x201C;mystery savings offer.&#x201D; This type of deal engages the customer by letting them participate and allowing the possibility of increased savings. Find a creative way to frame it, like &#x201C;Shake the Snow Globe of Savings and Save 20 to 50 percent!&#x201D; Then market the campaign via email, social media, and other media to help reach customers that normally wouldn&#x2019;t buy from you. Customers will mostly expect to get the lowest savings percentage, which is still a great deal, but if they get more they&#x2019;ll be more likely to spend more, and the experience will stick in their minds.  Here are some more effective ideas:  Daily Deals: Highlight a special project each day (i.e. 12 Days of Gifts).  Doorbusters: Run specials for just a couple hours or until the product runs out to create a sense of urgency.  Gifts by Price Point: Appeal to budget-minded customers with gifts or gift sets separated by price range.  Persona-based Gifts: Group gifts into packages designed for a specific type of person. When a customer sees a package and immediately thinks of someone they need to buy for, they&#x2019;ll be sold!  Come Back and Save: Turn gift-buyers into regular customers by offering&#xA0; them a deal that&#x2019;s too good to resist.  &#xA0;Click here for the article from Small Business Computing.</description><thumbnail_url>https://news.smarttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Smart-Tan-Logo.jpg</thumbnail_url><thumbnail_width>520</thumbnail_width><thumbnail_height>200</thumbnail_height></oembed>
