As the new year and the festive seasons are coming near, it’s crucial for business to align your social media game with seasonal energy.
Social Media Strategies for this winter
Here’s how you can make your social media sparkle this winter:
1. Feel the Holiday Spirit
This cozy winter is all about warmth, being together and going for a picnic or tour right? If so, why not reflect on your holiday spirit as part of social media strategies? This is a perfect time to share joy, happiness and enjoy with positive vibes. Let’s share these festive messages, fun facts and holiday promotions with your targeted audience. That’s what we do at Gripas Marketing through our personalized campaigns that tap into the seasonal emotions of their audience.
Example: One of our regular clients, “HareKrishna Trading”, ran a “Winter Wishlist” campaign last year. In this campaign loyal followers could win the products by tagging their favourite winter items. It increases conversations and engagements with a significant boost.
2. User-Generated Content (UGC): Let Your Fans Do the Talking
Winter is the perfect time to encourage the customers to share their experience with products or services. Their comments and reviews are like a warm hug to your brand to build trust and loyalty.
Pro Tip: You can offer some incentives to the participants like a giveaway or shout-out on your page. Our Gripas Marketing have witnessed magic to encourage UGC through various campaigns like “Winter Vibes with Gripas Marketing!”. The result? A snowball effect of engagement and visibility.
3. Seasonal Offers & Promotions
Winter is the perfect time for holidays, New Year sales and special offers. So, people like to do more shopping during this time. So, why not make it high time for your brand to stand out with remarkable offers and extra services.
Example: Have you noticed many brands, such as “We Kids”(one of our clients), offer a limited time holiday offer discount and exciting deals in their posts. You can also create this by creating urgency or scarcity towards your customers like- “Only 24 hours left hurry up!”.
If you’re ready to start a campaign this winter like “Winter wonder Sales” or “Seasonal Bundle Blowout”, don’t forget to run paid promotion to increase visibility to a larger audience with help of our Gripas Experts.
4. Creative Visuals to Keep the Winter Blues at Bay
When it’s cold and grey outside, the client also loves the content which contains the spirit of winter and also reflects the brand’s unique style.
Gripas Tip: This winter contains vivid colors, interactive images and even winter themed design. At Gripas, we ensure that the content should meet the visually interactive to trigger the interested and targeted audience. Example: One of our clients, Milestone”, used snowflakes and cozy aesthetics for their winter campaigns. Did you know? This winter campaign received a remarkable hike and engagement rate increased by 30%.
Remember: You can bring your visual to life using tools like Canva or Adobe or also with help of a pro designer. For creating any visual designs Gripas Marketing is always there!
5. Tell Stories to Connect
It’s a new idea to connect people with stories because clients also feel interactive to listen to success stories or showing behind-the-scenes content in a story way. Winter is a very good time to show off what goes into creating those special moments.
Example: A funny way to show a campaign is to create “A Day in the Life of a Winter Tools” by having a seasonal attachment title. This helps to feel more personal to brands.
Short contents on facebook stories, instagram or even TikTok will work amazing in this. Adding FAQs or polls keeps the conversation more interesting.
6. Give it that Extra Sparkle ✨ with Influencer Collaborations
For this winter social media strategies, let’s collaborate with social insta, facebook or tiktok influencers who help to appeal to the target audience. It’s a win-win situation for both, as they promote your brands to the followers.
At Gripas, we see good results with local influencers for seasonal campaigns. Let’s take an example of our influencer campaign called “Swodesi” which sales increased by 50% extra during holidays and created a lot of buzz on social media.
If you’re newer to this social media strategies, don’t jump directly! Start from small. Start to work with micro-influencer who have organic followers and collaborate with them organically.
7. Hashtags to Keep You On Top
Hashtags are one of the convenient ways to make your content easy to find and rank, but it’s also important to use appropriate hashtags. Research trending hashtags in this winter and use those hashtags in your content.
Example: Let’s say for this winter, you can use this hashtags #Winter, #CozyVibes or #WinterSales. At Gripas, we analyze popular seasonal hashtags that have low competition and high potentials, so that your content appears at top.
