Increase the size of your list before the festive season

Keep it at one main message per campaign
You might be tempted to do too many different things in one campaign. This is because you want to maximize what you get out of each campaign. But is it not always effective. People live busy lives and your aim should be to make it easy for them, not more complicated. You should focus each of your campaigns on one main message or theme.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
Keep it simple
The festive season is when companies seem to go crazy with fancy and complex designs and offers. While that might be cool, you can grab people’s attention without overdoing things. Keep your designs simple, clean and eye-catching. Focus on the action that you want people to take. Because everyone will be going crazy with their designs, this will make you stand out and customers will appreciate it. Also, keep your offers easy to understand. Someone shouldn’t need a Ph.D. to understand your offers. It should be as simple as, This product used to cost X amount and now it costs Y amount.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
Re-activate dormant customers
The festive season is the perfect opportunity to re-engage with customers that might have lost interest in your offerings. Create a campaign specifically for those customers.

We wish you a very profitable festive season.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
