5 Online Marketing Tips For Christmas
Christmas is one of the most important dates of the year to create online marketing: a great number of people dive into the Internet to find gift ideas for their shopping ventures. That is why it´s essential to have a digital marketing strategy that is directed to your target audience and has attractive content. Here are some fast tips so you can take as much out of your online marketing efforts as possible. 1. Make Your Website As Accessible As Possible It is essential that people find your website easily. To achieve this, pay close attention to keywords related to Christmas. It´s important that you look for popular terms (you can use tools such as Trends or the Keyword Planner, both from Google) and you can include them on your site, blog, or your social networks. Everywhere! That way, your content is better positioned in Google each time someone makes a related search. 2. Plan Your Movements Weeks prior to Christmas are filled with a lot of work and stress, so it´s a good idea to plan your online marketing efforts as much as possible. A good way to do this is to schedule your social media posts, maybe dividing the weeks according to the type of content (the first week for promotions, the second for contests, and so on). 3. Personalize The Design Of Your Marketing Pieces People usually pay attention to the visual identity of your brand, and this also applies to special dates. So, it´s important to include a Christmas detail on the images you use for your website and on social networks. For example, you can create special Christmas banners, change the colors of your logo provisionally with red and green (the typical colors for Christmas) or add special icons on your page. 4. Take Advantage Of The Efficiency Of Email Marketing Sent email campaigns are one of the oldest online marketing tools, but that doesn´t mean they are not sufficient. On the contrary, they are still as useful as when the Internet began. That is why I suggest that you create email campaigns informing you about developments and promotions on your website or online store. Don´t forget always to focus on content that is relevant to your audience: a reasonable opening rate depends on you generating an attractive subject line without losing sight of what interests your audience. 5. Write Special Posts On Your Blog Create posts related to the date (for example, gift ideas or something similar), and don´t forget to use keywords that we discussed in the first section. This can position your blog in Google and you have the opportunity to generate new visitors on your delivery platforms. That is all for today, I hope these suggestions help you improve the results of your online marketing campaigns and that you take advantage of this date to make your brand grow.

Creating Infinite Impact, the Infinity Hub way
It was 2007 when I’m sitting at my desk, consuming my coffee, and applying for almost every job vacancy online. Thought it’s not going to work out. Why are they going to hire me if I haven’t had much experience myself? That fear of being rejected visits me almost every day and I somehow get used to the idea that I will not make it. I tried to build my portfolio, applying for certification, reading books, improving myself. I’d realized that the path to gaining people’s trust is not as easy as I thought it would be. Fast forward to 10 years after, I now have a 4-year old baby. A Digital Marketing company called “Infinity Hub”. And this year like in the past years, being the CEO of this company made me a better person every single day. GIVE FIRST. A lot of people would think that when you have a bachelor’s degree and had a formal education in a good school. You will definitely land a good job. It’s our destiny, they say. But I never had the chance to maximize that privilege because I am focused on my goal – to give first. Built my portfolio by giving quality work in exchange for little to almost no monetary benefits. What I learned throughout my exposure to the startup community in Davao is to give first – the service. The assistance and invest in building relationships first then you’ll be able to reap the fruit of receiving those smiles and the bigger gift. Which is trust from the community. This is what I continue to impart to my team at Infinity Hub. Our mission is anchored upon providing quality services and ensuring that our clients get more than what they deserve. With a focus not on what they want but on what they need. This attitude had helped me, my team, and Infinity Hub to be where it is now. We will continue to give first with the promise of bringing in quality services and putting the clients on top priority. FOCUS ON THE GOAL. Infinity Hub’s thrust is geared towards being a partner for achieving our client’s success. Our client’s joys are ours too thus we couldn’t afford to let our clients down. Being goal-driven myself, I make sure that my team’s passion is aligned with our client’s goals. I will always make sure that aside from ensuring my clients’ success. My team will also get the fulfillment they deserve as we hand in handwork towards achieving our primary goals. Infinity Hub will not be where it is today if not for the dedication and positive attitude of the people behind it. We focus on the goal. Execute plans based on the needs of our clients and we make sure that the fruit of our labor is beneficial to all sides. We focus on the goal, yes and I am proud to say that this year. We have helped our clients achieve theirs in the most cost-efficient and effective way possible. PAY IT FORWARD. This 2017, I was given the opportunity to give back to the community that enriched me and helped me achieve my goals through the Rural Impact Sourcing Technical Training (RISTT) Program. RISTT is a government-initiated program that aims to create a nation of Digital entrepreneurs by providing comprehensive training. To equip the talent pool in the socially disadvantaged areas in the country. The RISTT inspired me as it helps communities develop their talent pool and inspire the locals to see the possibilities and opportunities in this Digital Age. There are a good number of Digital entrepreneurs and it’s even more motivating to see the numbers grow day by day. Some people say it’s weird because I am helping out my future competitors but for me. Building the community and empowering them is as good as it challenges every person to do better. Truth be told, some of the trainees are even better than I do and are more creative and that is something to be thankful for. We will achieve our goals if we only help one another. I will always be indebted to DICT for the opportunity to serve and pay the favor forward. I’am learning every day from my teammates, from Infinity Hub’s clients, from the trainees. And the people I encounter and there’s no better way to keep learning than sharing it with others and gain more insights in the process. Infinity Hub aims to continue creating Infinite Impact by helping businesses with their Digital Marketing strategies.
Avoid Holiday Sales Slump With These Three INFINITips
How to avoid Holiday Sales Slump? The start of the Christmas season means consecutive holidays and a lot more vacation for your company’s team members, mostly taking their much-awaited official leave at an earlier date. This also means, your core team will be in a holiday mood, focusing mostly on the plans of the parties, the dress to wear, and the gifts to buy. You should not let your marketing and sales suffer. Consider these three tips on how you could still engage your customers even when everyone is in a holiday mood: Send e-mails to your prospects – not the boring ones You will know if it’s the holiday when you will receive e-mails from businesses and companies you haven’t had any connection with, right? It is oftentimes annoying especially when they will only tell you to have a “Merry Christmas” and a “Happy New Year”. Given the busy schedule of the people during this season, it is important that you ensure that the content of your e-mail is something that is worth the click. How? Send in something informative and beneficial to them. If you wanted to keep your brand on top of your existing and prospective clients, your e-mail should be more of something that will help them as they plan for the coming year. If you are in the clothing business, you may send them a few tips or at least a prediction of the upcoming trend in clothes in 2018. Everyone is busy these days until the end of the year so make sure you are creating something that is beneficial to your company and your clients as well. Having a mutual benefit is the kindest thing you could do this Christmas (and you will get to promote your company and brand in a creative manner, cheers!). Be your company’s ambassador. Since everyone is out of the office or on vacation this season, it pays that you become your company or your business’ branding ambassador. From your personal posts on social media to your responses to comments online as well as the things you talk about at parties, it pays that you give your business a sort of promotion in a subtle way. Practice Generosity through referral discounts. Word of mouth is still the best and most effective way to attract clients. Getting the trust of the people close to your prospective client’s hearts will definitely encourage them to do the same. Referral discounts are away also of sending in a dose of appreciation to your existing clients. Once your clients feel appreciated, they will more likely encourage the people in their circle to patronize your business as well. Do not let the holiday break disrupt your business’ continuous boost on sales. You can still enjoy the holiday and share the holiday cheer while still being present online.
