How do you keep your community engaged in the holiday season?

by
Christmas is coming, and the closer it gets, the fewer people think about work 😅 How do engage with your community during this season? Do you just post more entertaining content? Have you started some Christmas content or giveaway? Would also be interesting to hear your experience from previous years 🤓

I will do some Christmast and New year contest which should be hold for 1 week ago. And don’t forget too make some gif/e-card for each person
Sofia
@huy_xuan I would also make a little giveaway, holidays seem incomplete without some gifts 😊

@manas_sharma Christmas card isn’t too shabby of an idea either 😅
Manas Sharma
@sonya_key_ Absolutely. It's an evergreen idea! Spread the love ❤️ every Christmas 🎅 even when you don't have any other plans to reach out to your community. Btw, I'm wondering if there are any nice tools to create one 🤔

I find people like talking about casual things more for the Christmas, especially with the break coming on So I would usually comment about more non-business stuff. it seems to ramp up engagement
Sofia
@richard_gao2 True! Something less serious and more casual is what works best this time of the year in my opinion too.

Non-business stuff is what creates better engagement and relationships during the holiday season. One must focus on building relationships during the low days, which might help them get a lead in the future!
Sofia
@excellentweb_australia Great point! I found this working best myself as well 👍🏻

Nothing is more appealing than FREE stuff and how FaceBook always does, a reminder of the shameful experience of my shirtless selfies like 10 years ago haha. Anyway, my point is just simply to give stuff for free and help them recollect their journey with you until that point in time. If the free stuff can somehow relate to those beautiful memories will be even more splendid!
Sofia
@tai_nguyen_wz That’s the part of the plan for sure 🎁

...and the closer it gets, more people think about gifts! But seriously, we have business customers who do Secret Santa/White elephant giveaways to their community using Goody. We're launching on PH today, would appreciate if you could check us out: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@markbao Secret Santa is an awesome idea as well ✨

Hosting/co-hosting Christmas giveaway campaigns with your partners is always a fantastic idea! We are currently participating in our partner's Advent Calendar campaign to give people a chance at raffles for bundled prizes that people want (and we don't have to do a ton of heavy lifting). Hope this helps!

Isn't this amoral to intentionally try and pull people away from family and personal time? Shame on you.
Sofia
@john_shearin Family comes first for sure, but many people don’t cut on monitor time either 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are many ways to keep your community engaged during the holiday season. Some ideas include: Hosting a holiday event or contest: This could be something as simple as a holiday-themed photo contest on social media, or a more elaborate in-person event at your physical location (if applicable). Offering holiday promotions or discounts: Consider offering special deals or discounts to your community members during the holiday season. This can be a great way to show appreciation and to encourage them to continue engaging with your business. Sharing holiday-themed content: Use your social media channels, email newsletters, and other forms of communication to share holiday-themed content with your community. This could be anything from recipes and DIY ideas to holiday-themed blog posts or videos. Engaging with your community on social media: The holiday season is a great time to connect with your community members on social media. Respond to their comments, share their content, and show them that you appreciate their engagement. Overall, the key is to keep things festive and fun, and to show your community members that you value their involvement and support.

Maybe don't engage? And give them and your community team a break?
