Christmas is coming!

I know, I know… it’s only the second week in September. Christmas is actually still over 3 months away: 15 weeks (106 days, to be exact, and counting…)

But you know as well as I do that just as soon as the Back to School displays have come down in the shops, it won’t be long before everything is Halloween, Bonfire Night and…

Christmas.

In fact, look at this:

I kid you not!

Christmas is big business for business

Of course, Christmas is big for business. For some sectors, such as retail, it really can be the be all and end all, sink or swim… live or die.

For those of us whose businesses aren’t quite so ‘seasonal’, the run up to Christmas is still massively important.

And it can be a tough time too. Everybody’s thoughts turn to Christmas and money’s too tight too mention.

Unless your business sells something that would make a great Christmas gift, you run the risk of falling into the ‘put off until the new year’ category.

The thing is, no business can afford to write off the best part of a quarter of a year, can they?!

No, it just means that you need to up your marketing efforts. At this time of the year – perhaps more than any other – your marketing strategy needs be sharper and more focused than ever before.

And that’s where I come in!

Here comes the blatantly salesy bit…

I’m always looking to put together special offers that meet the needs of SMEs, businesses and sole traders, and having spoken to clients about what they really need I’ve put together this special:

Christmas is Coming 3 Month Full-Service Content Marketing Package.

Here’s the deal…

· A 30-minute strategy call

· Full content marketing strategy for 3 months

· Monthly content calendar

· 4 blogs per month

· 2 email newsletters per month

· Full social media management (for up to 3 channels)

· £50 of paid social media advertising and campaign management

· Monthly analytic report

How it works

We will arrange a convenient time to talk on a 30-minute strategy call. This will enable me to get to grips with what your business needs and understand what your marketing goals are.

As soon as the call is over, I will begin work - producing a comprehensive 3-month content marketing strategy and content plan/calendar for the first month.

Once this is agreed by you and any further tweaks are made, I will begin marketing your business from the agreed start date.

During the first month, I will write a weekly blog, a fortnightly email newsletter, create content and provide full management of up to 3 social media channels.

On top of this, I'll create a Facebook/Instagram ad campaign and manage the promotion, with a budget of £50 (Included in the fee. There is no extra cost).

At the end of each month, I will produce an analytic report, make appropriate changes and produce the content plan/calendar for the following month.

Nearer the time, I'll create a bespoke proposal for a continuation of content marketing services to take you right through Christmas, New Year and beyond!

What do you get?

Just think about what you’re getting with this package:

· A cohesive content marketing strategy and content calendar for 3 months.

· 12 blogs that promote your business and can be shared again and again.

· 6 email newsletters to keep your customers up to date, promote offers, etc.

· 3 different social media ad campaigns and an overall ad spend of £150.

· Content creation, content curation and full social media management of 3 channels for 3 months.

Whatever your goals are and whatever your business is, the Christmas is Coming

package will kickstart your marketing through the autumn and give you a great launchpad for the future.

Naturally, if you have any questions just give me a shout.

To get the ball rolling, just drop me a message and we can take it from there.
