The first question is when planning social media Christmas marketing
campaign, is how much time do you need for your plan to take action and how
much budget do you intend for your Christmas marketing campaign. As early as
mid November lots of businesses from large to small are preparing their
Christmas campaign and sales pitch. With lots of graphic editing, photo
categorizing and more, Christmas should be the time of the year where business
should focus more on their target audience and brand visibility.
Social media and Christmas promos
As we all know social media is the best place to start
promoting your products, with the right strategies you can attain success.
Social media platforms are different from each other, for instance Twitter is
for more direct and short message with link and image attached. Where Facebook
can do a lot more for small businesses such as create page, promotions, survey
and poll and by way contents.
You should list down the things you need to market on these different platforms, take advantage of the features each of these social media sites offer their users.

You need to think of a certain budget, where to invest the
most and how to run the campaign at the most appropriate time and attitude.
Remember that Christmas season, you can allow your marketing to bold and pushy.
Although twitter only offers 140 characters on status, it is
enough to give your followers updates on what is happening in your firm, like shouting
out new Christmas promos and links to your website. You could also attach image
on twitter, this is a great idea for your promotional product images for
Christmas.
You can do small editing such as profile picture and cover
photo into Christmas theme on your twitter account this will allow your followers
to know that you have started your Christmas marketing campaign.
When we hear the word social media, the first thing that comes
into our mind is Facebook. This is the platform where you can share lots of
Christmas marketing campaign, such as creating Christmas polls, contests and
promo codes.
Facebook has a special feature for promos that you do not see on other social platforms example here. You can also post your other promotions such as from Scoop.it and Slideshare.
Most small businesses tend to promote more of their blogs, promos, deals and contests on facebook because facebook has a feature that allows you to post only to your target audience.

Google +
Google+ has also been a trendy social app lately, where
large and small businesses can be found. There are lots of marketing campaign
going on, on Google+ as well, but this app is more for integrating with small
business owners like you and other marketers, you can add a circle for your
target audience and name them into categories for example, plumbers, women over
30 etc., whatever relevant to your type of business.
On Google+ you can create promos from your blog or website
and share with interesting status and image, it is also a great idea to change

contact information etc. where your followers can easily contact you. This is a
great sample of Google+

promo expiration as well as contact info.
Pinterest is not the place ideal for Christmas Greetings,
but you can create an album
of Christmas promos and deals that will attract your followers. To be more
interesting add other Christmas related images too, such as Christmas recipes,

followers and what is interesting.

boards by inviting them, making your pin more popular and shareable. You can
invite them to share their promos and deals on your board for more fun and
