🎭 Ever heard of the phrase "calling in your favors?" 🎭 It's part of reciprocation. This strategy works because people are hard-wired to feel like they should return a favor after they've received one. In one study, shoppers at a candy store became 42% more likely to buy something if they'd received two (not one) pieces of chocolate as they entered the store. That's why you see so many free samples at the grocery store, and you often get free mailing labels or stickers in a fundraising appeal. 🎁How you can apply this to your subscription campaign.🎁 Your gift needs to be unexpected, meaningful, and tailored to their preferences for it to work. If you're planning a reactivation campaign for lapsed subscribers, think about skipping the free drink ticket or parking voucher as an incentive to buy. Surprise them with it in your pre-show email instead. 🔵🔵🔵 👋 Hi there...I'm Nicole from NEW Marketing Solutions.

🍏 Brat summer isn't for everyone 🍏 As Sonder & Tell so brilliantly put it in their newsletter this morning (if you’re not subscribed, you’re missing out): 'The problem with brands saying “here is everything you need to buy to have a brat summer” is that you can't buy brat. You have to be brat. It's behaviour.' From a PR perspective, jumping on trends can lead to incredible coverage - but only if they align with your products, ethos and demographic. Before hopping on a trend, always check in from a brand perspective to see if it’s a fit or a flop. Here are three things to consider: 🍏 Know your audience Who’s the audience for the trend? Does it match your brand audience? If so, you’re off to a strong start, but if you’re questioning the match, you don’t want to leave your efforts falling flat, and worse, your audience confused. 🍏 Speak the language Does the trend speak the language of your customers? Don’t force it. Stick to your brand voice and what your customers know and love - you don’t need to jar them with words they wouldn’t normally use. 🍏 Do a sense check Does it make sense? Use your head with this one and know that trends come and go, and there will be a new one for us to all fangirl over next week that might just be your glass slipper moment. Brat summer isn’t for every brand. Read our latest blog post by Molly Gould to discover which companies are getting it right and which ones are missing the mark. 👇

Seasonal campaigns have the power to spark feelings of nostalgia, joy, and excitement, allowing you to engage your audience on more personal level. From tailored holiday messages and interactive social media campaigns to festive email content, these moments help nurture stronger relationships and build lasting bonds. 💌🤝 Christmas, in particular, is also a great opportunity to express gratitude to your loyal customers. Consider sending thank-you cards, offering exclusive discounts, or simply expressing appreciation for their support. These small gestures can have a big impact, building goodwill and encouraging repeat business. 🎁 To learn more about the benefits of seasonal marketing strategies, read our latest blog! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gddYzWeZ #HolidaySeason #CustomerEngagement #SeasonalMarketing #ChristmasCampaigns

What’s the one thing your audience will remember about your brand this month? December is here, and while it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of year-end sales and campaigns, I want you to pause and ask yourself this vital question. The holiday season is not just about selling, it’s a time to build stronger connections with your community. Think about it: people are bombarded with ads, discounts, and promotions. If your focus is solely on pushing sales, you risk blending into the noise. Here’s what I recommend: 1️⃣ Show gratitude: A heartfelt thank-you goes a long way. Post about the support you have received from your customers, your team, or even your social media followers. Something as simple as, “Here’s what your support meant to us in 2024,” can leave a lasting impression. 2️⃣ Reflect on your journey: December is the perfect time to share your story. What were your biggest wins? What lessons did you learn as a small business owner this year? Transparency makes your brand relatable, and relatability builds trust. 3️⃣ Engage meaningfully: This is your chance to deepen the relationship with your audience. Ask questions like, “What’s been your biggest achievement this year?” or “What’s one goal you are setting for 2024?” These are not just icebreakers, they show your audience that you value their input. A secret you don’t know is that the brands that stand out during the holidays are the ones that focus on being human. Authenticity usually wins over algorithms. But let’s be real, this takes intentionality. You don’t need a huge marketing budget or a complicated strategy. You just need to show up consistently and connect in a way that feels genuine. So, tell me, what’s your focus for December? Building relationships, strengthening your community, or just crossing your fingers for the holiday rush? Let’s discuss in the comments. Content is King. Community is Queen. Never forget that.
