Planning E-commerce Internet Marketing for Christmas
01/11/2012
With Christmas on the horizon next month it is important to be thinking about your internet marketing, particularly if you are an e-ommerce site selling products that may be popular presents for the festive season.
Even though Britain is still in the grip of an economic crisis, Christmas is still a time when people spend in order to treat friends and family - plus celebrate the holiday season.
Many people now buy their gifts online for convenience and cost purposes. This means e-commerce companies should be focussing on internet marketing in order to bring more visitors to their website at this time of year.
The difficulty for online businesses is often how to stand out from the many other competing e-commerce sites and making sure they really grab the attention of interested consumers.
This can be done through SEO, PPC and social media. They are all relevant ways to interest new customers and cement relationships with your current customers.
Good SEO, PPC and social media also has long-term benefits, making e-commerce websites highly visible on the search engines long after the Christmas season has passed.
One easy way of boosting your internet marketing is to regularly update your site, posting new content and also making sure your existing content is well written. Interesting content that is relevant to the festive season will immediately help to boost the SEO of your website.
When thinking about PPC, you also need to make sure your paid online ads contain good time sensitive content and images that will encourage the right people to click on your ad and then browse your website and become customers.
Social media is also a great way to engage followers over the Christmas period. You can run seasonally themed special offers and talk about them on your social networks, there by directing people to visit your website.
It is also important to interact with your customers on the social networks, ensuring you give feedback to posts and thereby showing that you are a company that cares about their customers in the run up to Christmas!
