Keep Holiday Customers After the Rush: Optimizing Promotional Labels
Denver, CO (PRWEB) December 24, 2013 -- Lightning Labels, leader in printing custom labels and stickers, is encouraging brands to use unique label ideas to keep holiday customers long after they've purchased gifts for Christmas, Chanukah and other celebrations. Now that the busy shopping season is winding down, retailers are looking for ways to maintain new customers brought in by the holiday shopping season. Businesses can do this by creating promotional labels in a way that refreshes branding.
"The period of time following the holidays is of particular importance to retailers," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "Using a good labeling strategy is especially important during this transitional time, when spending is likely to be low. Businesses can create an innovative label that commands attention when products may need it most, which can engage retailers during the early winter months."
By making labels that are relevant after the holidays, businesses can encourage consumers they acquired during the rush to continue purchasing from them and can create an incentive for customers to remain loyal to the brands they have just discovered.
Design Holiday Promotional Labels that Resonate with Shoppers Year-Round:
Businesses can design holiday promotional labels that will still be appropriate once the season is over. Many retailers put a lot of resources into seasonal marketing. To sell the items that remain after the gift-giving season is over, business owners end up slashing prices and failing to see a return on investment. Instead, brands can refresh products with imagery and colors that don't necessarily relate to the holidays. Winter-themed labels are popular for holiday shoppers and will still seem relevant to consumers for a number of months.
Create Promotional Labels for Holidays with Customer Retention in Mind:
When making promotional labels for holidays, it's important to remember this time of year presents a good opportunity for businesses to expand their customer base. New consumers may not be totally familiar with the brand, so take this opportunity to reach out to them. Make sure labels communicate where to find the business online, including any social media channels. Labels can also contain a call to action that asks buyers to friend the company on Facebook or become a follower on Twitter. Labels can also direct consumers to brand website pages that provide contact information, company history and more.
