Fall Into The Holidays!

It’s hard to believe the holidays are fast approaching! It’s the time of year where most businesses and nonprofits are rolling out the red carpet for their patrons. But with so many organizations vying for attention, how does one rise above the rest? That’s what we’re here to find out!

Well, at Constant Contact we have some ideas, but we’d rather hear from our illustrious small business owners and nonprofit organizers! Which is why we are back again with another excellent sweepstakes to entice our lovely Community members to share what their marketing goals are for the next couple of months! 

How to Enter: Reply on this Community article with an anecdote about what your goals and strategies are to produce a successful winter holiday business season! For example, you can share:

• Email template design ideas
• Subject line ideas
• Communication frequency
• Holidays you will focus your marketing efforts around (Black Friday, anyone?)
• Contact collection strategies

These suggestions aren’t exhaustive! They are just some ideas to get the ol’ brainstorm raging.

If you’re in need of some inspiration, or some assistance, don’t hesitate to check out all the awesome services our Professional Services (it’s in the name!) team offer! For example, they offer animated template packs, premium template design, and more!

What is the prize? We are offering up a $100 credit on your Constant Contact account!

The sweepstakes will run from October 22, 2021 to November 19, 2021. Once completed, we will select a winner for each prize at random and notify them!

If you are the winner we will notify you by the contact email address listed on your Constant Contact account, so make sure it is up-to-date! Thank you.

We are looking at different content to put in emails and different ways of phrasing things in order to encourage people to open and read our emails. We're also learning what days and times people are more likely to open an email without the clutter of other emails.

We're an estate planning law firm, so I just sent out a newsletter with resources for caregivers, and a reminder that the office will be closed on Thursday and Friday. Most of our communication is just keeping in touch with clients, sharing office info, resources, helpful tips, etc.

As a nonprofit that supports veterans and first responders, we use our Lighten the Load mission to bring holiday cheer and support that many won't ask for, but can really use. Though our focus is on stopping suicides, we are also focused on family and the relationships that are affected by those who have come home from serving our country or communities with that dreadful, deadly enemy hanging over their hearts and heads.  We focus on this during our Facebook live weekly show, called We Got Your 6@6 Patriot Playtime. It was initially just a way for our volunteers to communicate during the beginning stages of covid, but it has grown into a platform for other nonprofits with the same goals as us to share their experience and knowledge.  We have a veteran or first responder musician on every week as well, and it has led to an amazing network of friends and contacts that all have the same mission in mind.

This holiday season, we are planning on using the custom holiday templates we've purchased, to help spread holiday cheer and get people ramped up for the new year quickly approaching. We want to incorporate success stories from this past year, share any holiday event photos, and highlight the good times!

To us, a successful winter holiday business season is one where our clients feel appreciated, heard, and cared for. To us, dollars are not everything, but our clients' trust and faith in us is everything.

We aren't going to give you some sugar-coated (or cookie) response, or act like we have this huge strategy in place to try to obtain more sales. At the end of the day, to us, a successful holiday season is one where everyone feels like community.
