7 Print Marketing Ideas to Boost Holiday Sales

The holidays are a busy time of year for you and your customers, but print marketing has the power to get you noticed and boost sales.

How do you accomplish this? Here are seven ways to use print marketing to boost your sales this holiday season!

7 Print Marketing Ideas to Boost Holiday Sales

1. Creative Packaging 

Use beautiful boxes, papers, and images when you send out items to customers.

They are more likely to hang onto them and remember you in the future. Plus, it creates a warm fuzzy feeling when customers receive such packages.

2. Door Hangers

Create fun, whimsical door hangers to put on customers’ doors.

These will receive a lot of attention and will solicit a response. 

3. Coupons

Send coupons to customers on fun, holiday-centered postcards.

Include fun images, pictures, and sayings that will grab their attention during the holiday hustle and bustle.

4. Holiday Newsletter

Time and attention span may be limited this time of year, but a compelling and short holiday newsletter will get your reader to stop, read, and respond.

Put some fun quotes, tips, recipes, fun facts, a happy holiday message, and maybe even a coupon to help them save money during this time of year.

5. Subscription Package

A subscription package will keep them coming back throughout the year.

Offer special pricing, fun packaging, and items that will dazzle them. They can subscribe to your subscription box and receive great gifts throughout the year.

6. Gift Cards

A gift-card campaign allows customers to share your business.

It’s also an excellent way to offer deals. They can get something free if they buy a certain amount of money in gift cards. This is a popular way of helping people with last-minute and corporate gifts.

Make sure your gift card displays are front and center near your store’s entrance, checkout, and other high-traffic areas.

7. Loyalty Rewards

Mail special discounts to loyal customers during this time of year.

Research what most customers are buying this time of year, then send them a letter or postcard offering to discount it for them. Remember, it usually costs you a lot more to acquire brand-new customers than to retain the ones you have.

Whatever you decide to do to thank your customers during this time of year, we can help execute it with quality printing and papers. Contact us to get started today!

Confessions of a Marketing Envelope: What Really Happens Between Design and Delivery

  A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Life of 10,000 Envelopes (Told by One of Us) Hi. I’m an envelope. One of 10,000, actually. You might think I’m just a wrapper. A delivery tool. A boring rectangle waiting to be tossed aside. But there’s a lot more to me than meets the eye, and I’m here to tell you what really happens behind the scenes when a project like mine comes to life. From concept to mailbox, it takes planning, people, and precision to make me look this good. Let me show you. Step 1: The Brainstorm My story starts in a design meeting. There’s talk of colors, logos, fonts, teaser text. Should I have a window? How thick should I be? Do I match the insert or pop with contrast? Some might say I’m dramatic, but I know this part matters. I’m the first impression. If I don’t catch someone’s eye in the mailbox, nothing inside gets read. Step 2: Prep and Proofing Before I ever touch a press, a few things have to happen: The layout is dropped into a print template My window ...

Trade Show Success: Designing Booth Graphics that Captivate

  Your trade show booth is more than just a spot to stand. It’s your storefront, your billboard, and your handshake, all in one.

Step 1: Start with What Matters Most: Your Message Before you think about visuals, fonts, or product shots, ask: “What’s the one thing I want someone to remember when they walk past our booth?” Maybe it’s your unique selling point. Maybe it’s a headline that speaks directly to your audience’s pain point. Maybe it’s your newest service or a bold offer. Whatever it is, this message needs to be clear, readable from several feet away, and laser-...
