Q4 brings many things, but one of the most loved (and most fun): holidays! There’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa (among many others). And let’s not forget about Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday. 

Put simply, there’s a lot going on. But that can honestly make marketing fun! Why not get in on some of that holiday excitement and offer a few seasonal promotions at your association or chamber? A webinar discount, an event discount, a membership dues discount, etc. (But all limited-time, of course!)

They key in getting people to take advantage of these promos though all boils down to how well you promote them. (I know, promoting a promo. That’s marketing for you!) Email and social media are both great channels to use, but in order for your messages to stand out, you need to be creative. 

Below are a few playful messages you can use (think email subject lines and social media graphics) to drive awareness and interest in your seasonal promos:  

October promo messaging:

• A spooktacular deal on XYZ! 
• No tricks, just treats! $XX off XYZ!
• A deal so good it’s SPOOKY! 👻
• Scary savings on [XYZ]!
• Oh my gourd! Don’t miss out on this limited-time deal! 

November promo messaging:

• Gobble this up: $XX off! 🦃
• Feast your eyes on this limited-time deal! 
• Good gravy! Save $XX on XYZ!
• Gather ‘round for savings! 
• Devour this deal: [$XX off XYZ]

December promo messaging: 

• Ho Ho WOAH! $XX off XYZ!  
• Brr… Warm up with this hot deal! 
• ‘Tis the season to save some money! 
• 🎅 came early. $XX off [XYZ]!
• Spreading holiday cheer, our 🎁 to you…
