Need some tips on how to get started with your holiday direct marketing campaign? This blog post has you covered.
Keep in mind, holiday shoppers differ from the average shopper. They are more likely to be searching for a specific product/service and will most likely purchase that said product/service on their very first site visit. Price and inventory drive these consumers. That’s why it’s so important to ensure your ideal customer is aware of what you have, what the price point is, and where they can find it.
The best way to do this? By creating holiday tailored catalogs, coupon postcards,and festive, oversized direct mail collateral.
