FAQs: Is Holiday Marketing Worth It for My Business?
-
Holiday marketing helps you stay top-of-mind when customers are already in spending mode. For service-based businesses, this is an ideal time to reconnect with existing clients or attract new ones who are looking to solve specific holiday-related problems. We use personalized, data-driven campaigns to make sure your message resonates, boosting your chances of conversions.
-
ROI varies based on the type of campaign, but businesses that engage their audience with well-timed, personalized emails often see higher-than-average returns during the holidays. According to Mailchimp, businesses that use targeted email campaigns during the holiday season experience significantly higher engagement rates, which often leads to increased revenue. With the right approach, you can maximize your ROI by focusing on existing clients and reaching new ones.
-
We measure success through key performance indicators (KPIs) like email open rates, click-through rates, and conversions. If you’re running promotions, we’ll track the increase in sales and service bookings compared to previous periods.

A well-executed holiday campaign doesn’t just drive sales for a few weeks—it sets you up for future success.
