This will help you create customer specific profile that tracks transaction history and tracks potential clients. Your business will reach a wide audience within a very limited time, thus making it more ideal for use before Christmas.
Marketing automation software creates transparency and increased communication between the marketing and sales department in your business entity. This is by funneling all indicators on the quantity and quality of leads to the sales representatives. This harmonization is important because it enables you to make informed decisions targeting your clients and therefore improving sales.
Employ inbound marketing

This network expands resulting in many people talking about your business. Indeed inbound marketing is a cheap way of converting strangers into promoters and customers of your business this Christmas season.
Update your website
Most internet users whom online marketing targets would like to read relevant info that is up-to-date and at par with the season. Let the content and design of your landing page reflect some of the items that are mostly bought during Christmas season, for instance gift items. You may include hover adverts in the website which pop-up to advertise a service or another product your business offers.
