SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT + MARKETING IDEAS.
Put together a ‘Fall In Love with Your City’ guide and share on your blog, newsletter and social media; tagging your favourite places to visit and restaurants. Need help creating content? Let us help - visit the Atelier for details.
Decorate your storefront in a festive Fall foliage theme or add some magic with a Halloween theme.
Showcase and promote your brand with a branded trick or treat bag. This can be a seasonal tote bag and each customer can receive one along with additional treats in the bag. The treats can be a custom candle in a Fall scent such as Pumpkin Spice, branded logo cookies or coupons from local collaborations.
You can have a Pumpkin Carving contest. Post on social media and ask your audience to vote for their favourite carved pumpkin. The winner can receive a gift card to your shop or service.
Consumers love rewards so put together a list of your most loyal customers and send them a VIP discount code. You can do this via email or send a thank you card and show them your appreciation.
Start early and create a Holiday/Christmas Gift Guide for your shoppers. You can go further by creating categories and tailor gifts to themes, interests and prices. Need help designing your guide? The COCOLILY Atelier can design a stunning magazine layout for your gift guide.
Hold a final end of Summer Sale.
Update your website for the Fall season and decorate your homepage with autumn or Halloween graphics.
Introduce a limited edition Fall-themed product. This can be a flavoured Pumpkin Spice item, Apple Cider or a cozy sweater for the autumn season.
Create a seasonal mystery box. This is ideal for slow moving products but also gives your customer a chance to sample other products they may not have purchased otherwise.
Sponsor a Fall Festival or Halloween community event.
