Using Christmas social media campaigns is a great way to boost your website traffic, engage with your audience and increase your customer base. It’s hardly surprising that most businesses are running Christmas social media campaigns and promoting their products.
Nearly everyone is out shopping for gifts during the holidays. So, we have created a few tips for Christmas social media campaigns to offer ideas how to increase engagement across your digital channels.
1. Kickoff Your Christmas Social Media Campaigns by Sharing The Joy
Holiday seasons are high-spirited and fun times. You can relay this emotion and happiness through your brand. Even though special offers have their own position in your holiday social media campaigns, spreading holiday joy is also important.
This can include posting a series of questions with images for user engagement. For example, asking users what is their favorite Christmas food or treat?
Another idea is to create Christmas social media posts asking users about their favorite holiday memory. And if you get photos with their answers, make a mini book. Depending on the number of responses, you could mail each respondent a book.
One of the best parts about this time of year is food preparation. Share a short video of a treat or dish you’re making.
2. Use Christmas Social Media Campaigns to Update Your Cover Image and Profile
Update your cover image and profile photo to sync with the holiday spirit. Don’t forget to include your brand value through your graphics. Believe it or not, many people visit social media pages to view the cover images this time of year.
First things first though. Before you start changing out your brand cover images and profile photos, make sure it’s well planned out.
