FACT: The holiday season can account for 20-40% of annual sales for small and mid-sized retailers.
No business wants to wait until the end of the year to meet their sales goals, but it’s difficult to not rely on holiday sales with so much consumer purchasing momentum residing in the last few months of the year.
To stay on top of the important holidays deadlines, we’ve gathered the list of top holidays you need to keep in mind. Remember, your marketing activities should reflect the type of shopper most likely to visit your business throughout the season. “Planners” like to take advantage of getting their shopping done early and expect good deals. “Procrastinators” are more likely to spend more at your business and be swayed by deals and specials.
