Holiday marketing does not need to be overwhelming or expensive. This episode shares simple and creative ideas that help small and medium businesses stand out during the busiest time of the year. The focus is on connection, visibility, and community rather than flashy campaigns or deep discounts. The ideas are practical, easy to execute, and designed to work for any industry including salons, restaurants, boutiques, pet stores, and service-based businesses. The goal is to help you stay top of mind throughout November and December by showing up early and consistently. By the end of the episode, you will have a clear set of holiday strategies that lift your business and connect you more deeply with your customers.
