Creative Holiday Advertising Ideas

Are you looking to target Holiday Shoppers?

Here are some specific holiday ideas!

#1. Do some print advertising in a community holiday shopping guide. Alot of communities print up Holiday Shopping Guides listing area businesses.

#2. Call up local church and civic groups and inquire about you placing an ad in their printed up Holiday Song Books that they hand out during the holiday season. These ads are usually less than $20

#3. Alot of churches, schools and civic groups hold holiday bazars during the Holiday Season! Contact them! Usually you can get a booth or table for around $20 - $25 which you can get a receipt and write off on your taxes as a biz deduction!

#4. Print up flyers (holiday themed) and place them through out your community.

#5. Participate in Local Holiday Community Events & Fundraisers. The more you get out into your community, the more you network & find new hosts and/or customers.

#6. Alot of groups do fundraising during the fall & holiday months.

#7. Print out mini Holiday Recipe Books (4-6 pages) with some of your favorite holiday family recipes. Make sure you business contact info is somewhere on it. Hand them out for FREE to friends, family, co-workers, local businesses, at your parties and every where you go! You can do this for about .12 cents each or less!

#8. Holiday Gala' & Other Holiday Events where they need contest prize sponsors! Donate a prize and get tons of business exposure!

#9. Hold a Holiday Open House in your own home for the neighborhood children to come & holiday shop for their parents! I do this one 2-3 times every fall season and its a BIG Success! I set up a table with some crafting supplies so they can make their own holiday gifts. On the invites I request that parents send each child with a minimum of $15 to the party.

Parents enjoy the 1-2 hours away from the children and the children feel proud that they were able to shop without any adults!

Advertise this as your local community centers, schools, daycare centers, area latch key programs and give a stack of fliers to your own children to pass out to their friends!

#10. Contact local schools and churches and obtain info about their upcoming holiday plays and holiday music concert programs. They usually sell advertising in their play program books and holiday music guide books! You can get alot of business exposure directed to guests & customers who are already thinking about the holidays and they will be in the holiday mood after seeing your ad in the program guide!
