Happy holidays! We're thrilled to have you join us for this festive exchange of marketing ideas. Just like a traditional cookie swap, we're here to share, inspire, and indulge – but instead of cookies, we'll be swapping creative and innovative marketing strategies baked to perfection for the holiday season (however, cookie recipes are also encouraged).

The holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your audiences, spread joy, and drive meaningful engagement. So, no matter what industry you’re in, there is room for every brand to spread some holiday cheer.

Share a brief overview of one or two marketing ideas that have worked well for you in the past or new strategies you’re excited to implement this year. Remember, there's no such thing as a silly idea – the more creative, the better! We encourage you to embrace the holiday spirit, think outside the box, and most importantly, have fun!

Need some inspiration? Here’s a few ideas to bake up:

• Send an email campaign with an eye-catching and festive subject line. You want to stand out in the inbox and provide a little joy along the way. Think of a play on words like, “Sleigh The Day With a BOGO offer,” “Deck the Halls With These Tips,” or “Don’t Be a Grinch, Come Join us for our Live event!”
• Create a social post for a holiday check list. Each day share what you checked off and encourage your followers to share the post with a friend or add it to their stories to see what they’re checking off their list. 
• Grow your list and offer personalized discounts for customers who give you their email on a first-time purchase or show gratitude to your loyal fan base and send them an offer they can’t refuse!
• Print or create a digital QR code and promote it in a place that doesn’t go unnoticed. Think of windows, doors, tables, stickers, you name it! Feeling a little creative? Pop it in an image editing software or Canva and add some holiday theme elements around the QR code, like a garland or candy canes!

So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, get cozy, and let's get this virtual cookie swap started! We can't wait to hear what you've got baking. Plus, for sharing an idea you can earn the badge pictured above!

I like the BOGO campaign - get a cool gift and another one free, to give away (or keep for yourself!)

I also like social contests - put on your ugly Christmas sweater and post on social and tag us, or tag us with a pic of your favorite product of ours and get a VIP discount on your holiday shopping with us.
