The biggest shopping season is finally here. The festive season is an exciting time to craft creative New Year promotion campaigns.
These promotions help you make the most of a busy and engaging consumer cycle and can do wonders for brand awareness.
However, a creative approach is crucial if you want to beat the competition. From carefully curated New Year adverts to hosting New Year holiday sales, there are several ways to help boost your business!
We’ve put together the top 5 creative New Year promotions you can use this holiday season. Let’s dive in!
1. Set Up Large-Scale Countdown Banners
Countdown banners are an age-old marketing trick that build excitement and anticipation around a sale or product launch. When creating these banners, design their visual appeal and messaging to align with your target audience.
A New Year’s advert could benefit from a large-scale countdown banner. They quickly grab attention and are great for displaying your sales pitch and product tagline.
Including call-to-actions (CTAs) like ‘Hurry, Limited Time Offer’ or ‘Shop Now & Save 50%’ also helps boost your New Year holiday sales by creating a sense of urgency.
If you need help designing and printing your banners, we’ve got different sizes, styles and materials, including various eco-friendly options. Call us now to consult with our design experts and give your New Year promotions a visual boost.
2. Create a New Year’s Photo Wall With Your Branding
Photo walls are a great marketing tool you can incorporate at your New Year's holiday sales event, whether in-store or outdoors. As selfies, Instagram, and social media influencers help determine a campaign’s success online, a New Year photo wall with your branding can be a fantastic way to drive organic traffic to your brand both online and offline.
You can use a fabric tension wall with New Year themes and elements like fireworks, champagne bottles or stars. Promote brand hashtags with messages like ‘Here’s to celebrating with (brand name) in the New Year’ or ‘Countdown with (brand name)’.
It’s also a good idea to use LED lights that reflect your brand colour palette along with New Year-themed props to enhance the visual impact and appeal.
3. Use Festive Flags to Highlight New Year Sales and Offers
Using festive flags can add a celebratory touch to your New Year promotions. Brands often use them to display limited-time offers, sales discounts or other promotional milestones. You can create an engaging visual flag display across your store with captivating slogans or taglines for the New Year.
For example, you could display promotions like ‘Early Bird New Year sales’ or ‘New Year Discounts, Save Big!’. Using indoor and outdoor decor to enhance your shopfront can make for an eye-catching window display.
At House of Flags, we have the perfect flags to kickstart your New Year holiday sales. Check out our tall and dynamic portrait feather flags to attract attention, or use custom bunting to add a festive touch to your New Year adverts.
4. Give Freebies or Add-Ons With Every Purchase
Everyone loves free perks! Complementary add-ons and seasonal freebies are great ways to promote your brand and encourage people to be a part of your New Year holiday sales. While freebies may add costs to your marketing plan, studies suggest that, if done correctly, they can significantly boost your business.
A smart way to use freebies as a marketing tool is to bundle complementary items from old stock, saving costs while helping you clear your inventory.
You can also add value to your freebies by offering limited-time product samples or service trials. This allows customers to experience your products and services, leading to organic growth of your customer base.
5. Set Up Pop-Up Booths With Illuminated Signage
New Year promotions need to be fun and engaging, and pop-up booths are the perfect way to increase brand awareness and presence. Using well-designed pop-up booths for your New Year promotions not only helps increase customer engagement but also improves lead generation.
However, it’s important to remember that setting up an effective booth requires a combination of aesthetics and interactive features. These also have to be easily portable, so ensure they’re compact for quick transportation and easy to set up.
You also need to consider brand-specific customisation. Using your brand colours and logo to customise your booth can make it stand out and drive traffic.
Adding bright, festive lighting with the help of illuminated signage can also add a sparkly factor to your New Year holiday sales. It’s also a good idea to use interactive features, like free product demos, on-spot surveys or games, to encourage customer interaction.
