Write These Down<\/h2>\n

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means some of the biggest shopping holidays are about to begin! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the biggest days for discounts and promo codes, so make sure you’re prepared!<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to our already low prices, we’ll be offering an extra 35% off your entire order from our shop on Black Friday and big Cyber Monday deals! <\/span><\/p>\n

These are some of the biggest offers we have all year, so don’t miss out! And your customers don’t need promo codes or anything. They can just apply these offers automatically when they purchase from your shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your merch ends up on peoples\u2019 shopping lists by talking about these promos. We\u2019ve got some suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Have Some Kind of Plan<\/h2>\n

If you don’t have some kind of plan before you market your holiday promos, they just won’t be as effective. Make sure you announce them at least a week before the promo starts so your customers have a heads up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about what designs or products you want to be pushing. Consider bringing back a fan favorite design you previously retired. Or even get your followers in on the process by asking them to design your merch for you or have them pick their favorites. <\/span><\/p>\n

You want the marketing to feel interactive so people will become more invested in your shop<\/a> and follow through with purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also more digestible for people when you give them options instead of just trying to promote your entire shop. Make sure you\u2019re pushing your merch as gifts or seasonal must-haves. Messaging is key.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"message<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Be Personal<\/h2>\n

We know everyone appreciates a good deal, especially during the holidays, but your followers also don’t want to feel like they’re being pushed to buy something. You shouldn’t sound sales-pitchy when you’re promoting these offers. It should sound like you\u2019re talking to a friend and feel on brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be personal with your messaging. Come up with catchy call-to-actions you can use in captions and teaser graphics. Even consider coming up with a holiday-themed tag line that ties into the theme of your shop<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why not create a hashtag that your followers can refer to when there’s an active promotion?<\/span><\/p>\n

It should still feel like content you would normally put out on socials. Use funny GIFs or memes to make it more relatable to your audience and grab their attention. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to be aware of how much you\u2019re pushing these promos. It needs to be timed right so your followers don’t annoyed and think it’s spam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"promo<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s Talk About It<\/h2>\n

There are many different ways you can go about talking about promos on your socials. We always make promo graphics that shop owners like you can <\/span>download and re-share<\/strong><\/span> on your feed. If you want to make a splash with your promos, make short video content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wear your merch and play trending music in the background so the algorithm will boost your content. Plan a holiday-themed photoshoot with your family and friends to make it feel even more official. <\/span><\/p>\n

Showcasing your merch in this light makes it more appealing than sharing screenshots. That\u2019s just not exciting enough for people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do a countdown leading up to these promos or share pictures of customers enjoying the holidays with your products. Customers love feeling like they are part of a community, so make sure to show them that your shop is just that.
