<p>The holiday season from November to the end of December is the most lucrative time of year for retailers. Is your business ready for the shopping frenzy? With the holidays quickly approaching, now is the time to formulate your marketing strategies to attract customers and generate those sales! Check out these marketing tips below to see how your business can maximize its sales during the holiday season.</p>



<h3>Make Your Cyber 5 Strategy Part of a Bigger Game Plan</h3>



<p>Those extremely important shopping days from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday are referred to as the "Cyber 5". A common misconception is to get your ad campaigns up and running just in time for Black Friday. While it is crucial to recognize the Cyber 5 as huge shopping days, implementing a more comprehensive advertising approach will result in a more consistent and effective campaign. In 2018, marketers devoted 19% of their search budgets to Cyber 5 spending, but those days make up for just 9% of holiday shopping. This year, more businesses are looking to adopt a strategy that encompasses the Cyber 5 as well as the whole extended holiday season. This results in catching the attention of both the October early-bird shoppers and the last minute shoppers.</p>



<h3>Optimize for Mobile Use</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://cms.spectruss.com/wp-content/uploads/mobile-2-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-212361"/></figure>



<p>A growing number of consumers are visiting websites from mobile devices. <br> Your business must be optimized for mobile use if you want customers to find your store and stay to shop. A responsive web design is crucial for grabbing the attention of consumers and will result in greater engagement and higher sales numbers. The National Retail Federation projects 105 billion in online sales this holiday season with an estimated 127 million shoppers predicted to shop on Cyber Monday. Of these Cyber Monday shoppers, 25 million said they would specifically use their mobile devices for purchases. </p>



<h3>Take Advantage of In-Channel Buying </h3>



<p>Consumers are more connected than ever before. A recent study found that 64% of customers are using multiple channels to complete a single transaction. This translates to many touchpoint across numerous different platforms. In 2018, holiday traffic to digital sites from social media channels grew by 22% year over year. This year, even more shoppers are expected to be buying in-channel. This means that retailers should be ready to push their brand where the consumers already are, such as social media platforms. </p>



<h3>Royal Highnies' Holiday Success </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://cms.spectruss.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2019-10-17-at-11.18.21-AM-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-212358"/></figure>



<p>Royal Highnies is a growing luxury loungewear and undergarment retailer. From boxer shorts to lounge pants, to tee shirts and more, Royal Highnies provides ultimate comfort for the whole family.</p>



<p>During the 2017 holiday season, Royal Highnies wanted to boost its online advertising in order to attract more consumers to the brand. This is where Spectruss came in. Our team worked with Royal Highnies to implement digital marketing strategies that would result in a huge ROI. </p>



<p>First, we conducted detailed market research to identify a specific target market for Royal Hignies. Based off this audience, we did rigorous keyword research to ensure their brand would be seen by the right consumers.</p>



<p>Once we defined a specific customer base, we developed a digital marketing plan that included creative email campaigns, shopping ad campaigns, display ads, social media ad campaigns and fresh graphics.</p>



<p>This campaign utilized new approaches and creative materials designed specifically to reach Royal Highnies' target market. The end result? Royal Highnies saw a 25% increase in online sales and a 10% increase in wholesale sales.</p>

Boost Your Sales During the Holiday Season

<p>We’ve all seen the headlines, and some of us have already felt it. A recession is looming. The R word can send chills down a business owner’s, and even employees’, spine. Luckily, there’s good news. We know how to beat a recession. On top of that, we know how to make your company beat your competitors in a recession. Here’s how:<br></p>



<p></p>



<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tRh30FU9vYY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>



<p></p>



<p>First, a company should see a recession as an opportunity to beat your competition, not to run and hide. For instance, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut took advantage of McDonald’s choosing to drop their advertising budget during the 1990-91 recession. The result was Pizza Hut growing 61%, Taco Bell 40% and McDonald’s declined 28%. Pretty astonishing numbers, right!?<br></p>



<p>Second, a recession is a great time to trim the extra fat and lower your recurring overhead. Payroll is the largest recurring line item cost for each business, and if things slow down during a recession, you could be stuck with an uncomfortable amount of payroll. At the same time, those large agencies that you have been using for your campaigns and technical aspects of marketing, charge huge numbers based on their large overhead. This is where smaller, more nimble agencies, such as Spectruss, have an upper hand. Not only do we thrive in the digital realm, but we also have all of the capabilities in-house to act as your entire marketing department. This lowers your costs, and allows you to easily scale up or down with us, even on a month-to-month basis.&nbsp;<br></p>



<p>Third, have a team that is constantly watching the data. There will be a lot of opportunity that will open up during a recession, including areas of advertising with less saturation, lower costs per click, and adjusted sales pitches that really resonate. Having the ability to track all of this data, monitor it daily and adjust in real time will produce the largest return on your investment.&nbsp;<br></p>



<p>Attacking advertising and marketing with a digital first approach has helped Spectruss grow over the last 8+ years. We have grown to bring all technical aspects of marketing and advertising in-house, thus strengthening the client’s brand identity and lowering their overall cost. We can either act as your out-of-house marketing department taking lead from your in-house CMO, or even help you build strategy as your Virtual CMO. In short, Spectruss makes your business recession proof.&nbsp;<br></p>

Recession Proof Your Business

<p>In a fast paced, digitally-run world, it is becoming increasingly harder to grab the attention of consumers. If brands want to stand out in this highly competitive market, they must get creative with their messaging and their marketing strategies. Customers are looking for authenticity in a brand and one of the best ways to establish this is with user-generated content (UGC).</p>



<p>UGC is content related to a certain brand that is voluntarily produced by individuals with the potential to drive conversation and build engagement. If a customer has a great experience with your brand, they are inclined to share that experience with their peers. Word-of-mouth referrals are extremely profitable for businesses because it provides authentic information from previous customers, boosting brand credibility and recognition. </p>



<p>The power of user-generated content has proved to be so beneficial that brands are integrating this into their marketing campaigns.</p>



<p></p>



<h2>Share a Coke With…</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img src="https://cms.spectruss.com/wp-content/uploads/spectruss-coke-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-212346" width="590" height="590"/></figure></div>



<p>When Coca Cola launched its “Share a Coke” campaign, people went crazy over the personalized bottles. Coca Cola changed its traditional label to  “Share a Coke with” followed by a name. This multi-national campaign, which used 250 of the country’s most popular names, aimed to have people find a coke bottle with their name on it and then share it with friends. </p>



<p>To keep the hype going, Coca Cola asked customers to share pictures of themselves enjoying a coke with their personalized bottles on social media. This lead to massive amounts of user generated content, raising awareness and increasing user engagement with the brand. This massively successful campaign resulted in Coca Cola’s customers stepping into the role of  advertiser.</p>



<p></p>



<h2>The Royal Wedding</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://cms.spectruss.com/wp-content/uploads/royal-1024x678.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-212347"/></figure></div>



<p>We all remember the highly anticipated royal wedding of American TV star Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of England in 2018. The lavish royal weddings of the past have always been real affairs, but this time, things were a little different. </p>



<p>Along with sending traditional reporters, the BBC news channel also sent 50 people from the general public to watch the wedding and share their experiences on social media. This built a connection with the public by providing them with a way to view the wedding through the eyes of every day people. <br></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img src="https://cms.spectruss.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2019-07-18-at-13.21.42-1024x632-1024x632.png" alt="" class="wp-image-212344" width="630" height="388"/></figure></div>



<p>The individual stories shared from these 50 viewers were a form of user-generated content. The BBC news used this strategy as a way to attract more viewers and engagement from the public. </p>



<p>People trust the opinions of peers which is why it is so important for brands to incorporate UGC. The more trust and transparency a brand can establish with its customers, the stronger the brand will become. </p>
