7 Christmas in July Marketing Ideas for Small Business

1. BUY ONE, STASH ONE

It’s halfway through the year and December will be here before you know it! Encourage your customers to get a jump start on their holiday shopping with a Buy One, Stash One promotion. This is perfect for products that make great gifts, are great repeat purchases, or are customarily bought in pairs.

2. BUY ONE, GIVE ONE

Christmas is synonymous with the season of giving, but that spirit can fall flat during the rest of the year. Give back to your community during the summer with a Buy One, Give One promotion. With every purchase, donate money or items to your local food bank or another community organization.

3. OPEN HOUSE

Host a party! An open house is a great way for both new and old customers to learn about your business and
see what you’re all about. Encourage customers to bring a friend! Open Houses are also a great way to add new
people to your mailing list. Complete the Christmas in July theme with holiday music, decorations, refreshments,
cookies and more.
