## **December Marketing Ideas**

**December 16th, Tuesday: Hanukkah - When to start marketing: Tuesday, November 18th**

Successful Hanukkah marketing takes a well thought out strategic approach because your competition is putting out their best ads and sales at the same time that you are. Holding a special holiday sale or having a huge lighted menorah or other attraction can earn your company media coverage, but you can also get free publicity by helping out in your community during this holiday.

**December 21st, Sunday: Winter Begins**

Its the most wonderful time of year, Winter! With the temperature dropping below freezing, marketers should not let the cold effect their marketing efforts! Winter brings unique opportunities for special promotions. You can hold a "share the warmth" promotion, send your customers a winter thank you E-blast, and even launch a hibernation campaign. With New Years approaching, marketers are preparing to launch new and exciting products and services.

**December 25th, Thursday: Christmas - When to start marketing: Tuesday, November 25th**

It's not just about retailers this Christmas. Any business can join in on this merry time of year. With marketing ideas & techniques and adding a bit of festive flair to your products, businesses can make a lot of profit because so many people are shopping. By using the right Christmas marketing ideas, you can attract customers to your products. Sending cards and gifts, being generous, and setting up special services during this season will leave your customers very merry!

**December 31st, Wednesday: New Years Eve - When to start marketing: Wednesday, December 17th**

New Years is all about getting a fresh start! It's the perfect time to add new products or services, launch a new marketing campaign, or even hold a fun New Years until midnight sale, promotion, or offer. Give your customers a New Year's resolution with a marketing campaign that points out specific areas where your company excels. It's the start of a new year, new challenges, and new opportunities!
