The holiday season is the busiest and most competitive time of the year for businesses—and it’s coming fast. Whether you’re an eCommerce brand, local service provider, or retail shop, now is the time to make sure your holiday marketing, website, and strategy are ready to capture the upcoming surge in demand.
At BizAutomate.ai, we help businesses in Melbourne, FL, the Space Coast, and beyond prepare for the holidays with clear, data-driven digital strategies that convert browsers into buyers. Here’s your high-level checklist to make sure you’re ready for the rush.
1. Audit Your Website and Checkout Experience (Holiday Marketing)
Before ramping up ads or promotions, make sure your website is fast, mobile-friendly, and user-friendly. During the holidays, even small delays or glitches can cost you valuable sales.
✅ Check:
- Page load time (under 3 seconds)
- Mobile responsiveness and layout
- Clear product pages with pricing and shipping details
- Streamlined checkout process with minimal steps
Remember: A polished website turns traffic into revenue. This is an important key item for your holiday marketing checklist.
2. Refresh Your SEO and Local Listings
People are already searching for “holiday gifts,” “special offers,” and “near me”—and if your business isn’t optimized, you’re missing out.
✅ Check:
- Update your Google Business Profile with new hours, photos, and offers
- Add holiday-related keywords and content to your site
- Make sure your metadata and schema are up to date for better visibility
This helps your business appear in both organic and local searches when customers are actively looking to buy.
3. Prepare Your Email and SMS Campaigns
The holidays are the perfect time to reconnect with past customers. Create a schedule for email and text marketing campaigns now—don’t wait until Black Friday to start.
✅ Check:
- Segment your lists (loyal customers, new subscribers, abandoned carts)
- Build a content calendar with send dates and themes
- Create urgency with limited-time offers and countdowns
4. Review Your Ad Strategy and Budget
Ad competition skyrockets during the holidays, and costs per click often double. Without a plan, you can burn through your budget fast.
✅ Check:
- Review past campaign data to see what converted last year
- Plan retargeting campaigns for website visitors
- Allocate extra budget for peak shopping weeks
At BizAutomate.ai, we align paid ad strategies with SEO and funnel insights—so every dollar works harder.
5. Create Holiday-Themed Landing Pages
Dedicated landing pages convert better than sending users to your homepage. Build seasonal pages with targeted offers and festive visuals.
✅ Ideas:
- “Holiday Gift Guide” page
- “12 Days of Deals” campaign
- “Limited-Time Holiday Bundles” for upsells
Each should have a clear call-to-action and match the look and feel of your holiday ads.
6. Update Tracking and Analytics
Before launching campaigns, confirm your analytics tools are tracking everything correctly. You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
✅ Check:
- Google Analytics 4 and conversion goals
- Meta and Google Ads pixel tracking
- Call tracking or CRM integrations
Data tells the story—make sure you’re collecting it accurately.
7. Plan for Post-Holiday Retention
The season doesn’t end after December 25th. Smart businesses use the post-holiday period to turn one-time buyers into long-term customers.
✅ Check:
- Create follow-up email sequences with loyalty offers
- Ask for reviews and feedback
- Offer “New Year” promos to extend engagement
