Knowing Genius Referrals. How To Develop A Referral Marketing Strategy On Thanksgiving Day?
The inclusive and traditional character is the hallmark of the Thanksgiving celebration.
On this date, traditions and principles are universal, regardless of culture: family, food, and gratitude above all else.
The celebration of Thanksgiving is not associated with any religion nor is it linked to any patriotic tradition.
However, it is the magnet that unites all Americans, as it is one of the most important holidays in the United States and represents the union of thousands of families throughout that country.
But in addition to being a very special date for Americans, Thanksgiving is one of the most important sales opportunities for the last quarter of the year.
And fundamentally, Digital Marketing and E-commerce show sales of more than 4 billion dollars, not counting Black Friday sales that take place the next day. Digital Marketing and Thanksgiving Strategies
Companies must have a consolidated strategy to be able to take advantage of these dates such as Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Let’s see some elements to include in our Digital Marketing
Power Email Marketing
Email marketing is one of the most used alternatives to reach a huge number of users with mobile devices on Thanksgiving.
Unlike paid advertising, prices do not fluctuate based on market demand, allowing for fixed operating expenses that can be more accurately calculated, projected, and budgeted for.
Employ chatbots
The chatbot is an Artificial Intelligence tool that can boost customer service. A chatbot answers the messages that are sent to a list of contacts on Facebook Messenger or other systems such as Telegram.
A chat management system that allows us to automate responses and also send mass chats guarantees a 24/7 response that customers will appreciate.
Boost Content Marketing
It is not enough to have the right tools, it is also important to know how to use content in a marketing strategy.
At Thanksgiving we should emphasize the following emotions and ideas:
Family. We can relate this idea to a product or service, making your prospects or clients feel like they belong to a community, that more than a group of clients, they are a family. Gratitude. You must send a message thanking them for the business relationship you have and for having spent this time together. Fidelity. A video remembering family or a message from "the old days" will be ideal to reach the heart of your prospects or clients. Genius Referrals. Loyalty and referrals on Thanksgiving
