8 Visual Marketing Ideas for the Holidays

By Maria Parra, Dec 03, 2014

Тhe holidays are a busy time for every organization and business. There is no time to relax because once we put away the Thanksgiving leftovers, holiday decorations and lights go up. A visually stunning marketing game plan is a must if businesses hope to promote themselves well and keep their clients’ eyes on their products or services. Here are some ideas to inspire you for making fun and engaging holiday marketing campaigns.

1. Create a Promotional Calendar

Create a fun promotional calendar in the beginning of the year as an addition to your website. Mark interesting days you’d like to promote with promotions or events, like Cyber Monday and New Year’s.

2. Add a holiday spirit to your Logo

Put a holiday twist to your logo. You’ll want your logo festive and eye-catching, but also recognizable. A santa hat on top or a gift box on the side will do the trick and put the customers in a holiday spirit.
