Planning a big Holiday Promotion takes many steps in order for you to be successful. I've broken the planning process out into a four week process.
Brainstorming - This is the week that you need to brainstorm products that you want to offer for either a Black Friday or Cyber Monday special. When you're creating products to offer in your online store, you want to get in the gift buying mode. What would someone want to for a gift?
Keep your customer in mind. Many times over the holidays, your customers are the loved ones of your golfer. This means that they know they want to buy something golf related, but may not know much about golf.
Please keep in mind that you want to make this easy for yourself. For Cyber Monday, you want to offer items that are downloadable from your store. At my golf course, we offer Vouchers for golf. These are downloadable gift certificates with an order number on them.
We track them with using the order number for redemption.
Here's some ideas of things that I have offered in my online store.
Consider your golfer and your golfer's pain points. Then solve those points with a great product!

Week One's Live Planning Workshop
Now that you know WHAT you're going to sell, you need to work on the logistics of your campaign.
What does your funnel look like for your promotion? Will it begin with a landing page? Will you send people directly to your online store? Will you provide a coupon discount or are you planning to do an upgraded offer?
Once you have made those decisions, it's time to get to work optimizing your website to prepare for a sale and create the necessary items needed in order for it to be a smooth experience for your golfer.
In Week Two, I created a Landing Page, opt-in form, and marketing materials.
It's important to brand your marketing, so use the same font, imagery, and similar wording in all of your materials.
To better understand what I mean by branding your overall promotion, I thought I would share the images from my holiday promotion. I think you'll see how there is an overall theme and message even though they don't all look exactly the same
These are two images that will be used for Social Media posts. They are suitable for Facebook as well as Instagram.
These are two images that will be found on the homepage of my website. They will be featured on the slider of the homepage. If you don't have a slider, just a splash of an image on the homepage is completely fine. Just picture it like putting a wreath on your door.
This image is what will replace my Cover Image on my
Facebook Business Page.
For my strategy, each one of these images will be linking to my Landing Page that has a similar look to these images. The landing page is where people will sign up to become a VIP member.
I have found that using promotions to help build my database is a very effective marketing tool.
If you don't want to it to segment your email list and/or add new customers, then you can refer to the beginner version HERE.
