Send the gift guide out via email or your social networks for maximum exposure.

3. Create a 12 Days of Christmas Promotion

Offer a special product or service every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas. It could be a discount on a product, free shipping, gift with purchase, or a limited edition product not available all the time.

Give customers a reason to keep checking back to increase the chances that they’ll buy something and remember to keep it bright and cheerful, it’s Christmas after all.

4. Create a Pop Up Store
