Economic forecasters announced this week that
retailers and small businesses may be facing the worst holiday sales season
since 2009. Retailers and small business
owners can take action to save their season by planning ahead and executive a
marketing plan, said Phyllis Edson, freelance writer and online marketer.
Today, Edson announced
today a special “Christmas in October” rate for her writing services to encourage
small businesses to begin planning their marketing for a successful holiday
season.
“Now’s
the time to begin planning a holiday marketing campaign,” she said. “If businesses get started now, they’ll spend
less on marketing, printing, photography and writing services,” she said. “Waiting to book these services will cost you
more later as you’ll be booking them at a premium rate since the holidays are the
busiest time of year for marketing professionals.”
Retailers
and small business owners can take action to save their season by planning
ahead and executive a marketing plan, said Edson.
Edson's "Christmas in October"
rates will be 10 percent less than her normal rates if you book her services
now.
“The
answer to having a successful and profitable holiday season isn’t ‘do less,’ ” said
Edson, “it’s do more marketing.”
It
takes about three months to realize any result of a marketing plan or effort,
said Edson. If you start planning and
executive now, you can expect to reap the benefits by the holiday season. In addition any press releases or information
you put on the internet now for this holiday season will continue to drive
traffic to your website and bring customers to your business door for years to
come, she said.
Edson provides research and
writing services including press releases, content for newsletters, brochures,
websites, articles and blogs. For more
