The Caffeinated Blog: Using Social Media to Drive Holiday Sales


  • Create a Facebook page and post special discounts and valuable content (like how-to videos, recipes, tips and advice) for fans.

  • Get on Twitter. Use it to answer customer service questions, share product specials/discounts, and links to valuable content (like how-to videos, recipes, tips and advice).

  • Have a holiday-themed contest for sharing creative photos or videos via your Facebook page and give away a shopping spree.

  • User-generated content can be excellent content.
  • Interact with your Facebook fans with opportunities to write on your wall - their letters to Santa, holiday wishes, holiday tips and advice.
    Partner with a charity and donate a percentage of proceeds from online sales to that charity. Promote via Facebook, Twitter, and your website.
  • Develop a widget for others to post on their blogs.

  • Develop holiday-themed "how-to" videos and post on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and/or MonkeySee (a video site specifically for how-to videos).

  • Develop a wishlist and gift suggestion widget and/or Facebook app that people can customize, share, and post on their blogs or Facebook page (creates links directly to products on your site!).

  • Is your business involved in local community efforts? Make sure to take photos at events and post them to your website and/or Flickr. Share your photos via Facebook and Twitter as well.

  • Having an in-store event? Promote it via Facebook events, or create a Meetup group for your store.

Earlier today I posted a video on using a screen reader to access the web. One thing that didn't sit well with me was that the person demonstrating the reader in the demo was completely unable to tab through and read content on the page...
