Promotions for Non-Traditional “Holidays”
Catch your employees or clients off guard with a promotion for any of the select dates below. We all expect gifts for the holidays but we’re not expecting anything for Ample Time Day (desk toy, mini game- are just some of my suggestions). Don’t let your final marketing and advertising dollars go to waste this year with a forgettable gift. I mean really– how many mugs, boxes of candy, or cookies does one person really need?!
Day Light Savings- November 1 – Just remember that you SRING ahead and FALL behind!
Ample Time Day- November 8 – No complaining that there are just not enough hours in the day today! There’s plenty of time for everything today, ok, ok even if there really isn’t-you could take a few minutes and pretend like you’ve got all the time in the world.
Cookie Cutter Week – December 1-7 (obviously just one day of cookie cutters is not enough!)- Is your company located in a geographic area well known for something? We’re in Annapolis, which is known for the Naval Academy and crabs- maybe we’ll send our out-of-state clients crab cookie cutters-hmm that’s a good idea, we might use it-keep an eye on your mail box! I have a feeling that there’s no limit of cookie cutters out there, so if you think this promo is for you-call us we’ll find your shape.
Hand Washing Awareness Week – December 1-7 – Proper hand washing is crucial to help prevent the spread of diseases and germs. Say hello to health and cleanliness and give out branded anti-bacterial hand sanitizer.
Winter Solace- December 21 - The shortest day of the year. Do a winter promo! Remind your clients you’re getting though the long winter with them.
National Thank You Note Day – December 26- Unfortunately, I think handwritten ‘thank you’ notes are becoming things of the past. There’s just something somewhat insincere about a ‘thank you’ email (maybe it’s just me.) Take the time to write your clients or employees a few thoughtful words-trust me meaningful words, telling someone you appreciate their business or hard work go a long way with anyone. Order custom stationary now so you’re prepared!
