Ideas for your Advent Calendar

Depending on your set-up, you may have closed for the Christmas break. However, a break does not mean that you cease to communicate. Communication is your lifeline between you and your current / potential customers, so you need to to continue to interact with them in every which way (within reason of course!) possible. The celebration periods are always a great time to reach out and show your customers that other side to you and your business. If you don’t already, package the professional and personal for that unique experience. There are a number of ways to do this, but in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, we thought we’d go with something that is known to everyone - The Advent Calendar! What if you thought out a number of promotional ideas to offer your customers over the course of the 12 days leading up to Christmas, with a mega surprise / offer on the 12th day. Now wouldn’t that be something….!

“What on earth am I going to offer…?”

Dig deep into your archives and look for offers / promotions that did well in the past. Dust them up and with a little rejigging, they should be good to go. Perhaps this might be a great time to introduce a new service or product ahead of the new school year; trial it out and gauge the response levels, to see if it’ll soar to success or crash land like a lead balloon. Include interactive initiatives or engaging activities, with mini prizes / gifts to be won. Everyone likes a gift! Are you still stuck…..? Not to worry, we have a few suggestions that may help you get started:

Introduce your holiday campaign. Unveil a special festive discount or offer available exclusively for the holiday season.

Share a daily learning tip or study hack related to the holiday season. Encourage engagement by asking students to share their own tips.

Highlight a student success story. Share achievements, improvements, or unique accomplishments, and tie it to a promotional offer for new enrollments.
