Getting Into The Christmas Copywriting Spirit

4/12/2018

Let's face it: Christmas is an awesome time of the year, but it comes around REALLY fast.

You've probably noticed that your customers are all in the spirit of the season already. But has their favourite brand (i.e.: YOU) done the same?

Whether you're writing simple cards or launching a full Christmas-themed campaign, you need the right festive copy to match. Here are some pointers!

'Tis the season

So, this is Christmas... again!

The decorated trees are up, the tinsel is hanging and the carols are playing; the end-of-the-year festive air has struck, where businesses and people alike wind down and enjoy time with family, reflecting on the year that was.

This changes people's mindsets, especially when it comes to their purchasing and research behaviour - and the businesses that adapt to this are the ones that will find a greater success.


Why?

Because Seasonal Themes Make Brands Relevant

Remember that we're in an age where our customers have much more power. They're calling the shots and ignoring anything that isn't of interest to them.

Equally so, they're looking for engaging content that is relevant in their lives. 

Christmas (just like New Years', Birthdays, Holidays, Valentines Day, etc) is one of those times when people become far more receptive to messages that reflect the season.

In other words, people love when brands join in the festivities, and this offers an opportunity for your business.

It all starts with Christmas Copywriting!

What is Christmas Copywriting?

Exactly what it sounds like!

Utilising words in their many forms to build content that merges with the season. 
So, are you making your brand relevant to your customers' mindset right now?


Here are a few festive tips to 'Chrissy-up' your Copywriting this December. 

1. Jingle Bells, pain points sell

If you want to to be successful over Christmas, it all starts with your customer.

What are their pain points, specific to this season? Are they time poor? Trying to find a venue? Looking for the perfect gift? Frustrated with the crowds? Needing a holiday?

Well, how does your product or service answer these needs?
​Direct your copywriting at solving their season specific challenges, and you'll win!

2. Bring on the cliche cheese!

At every other time of the year, I would advise against using cheesy statements in your copy - nothing makes your customers cringe more.

​HOWEVER, during Christmas, you get a hall-pass.

​Customers love nostalgic uses of traditional phrases and lyrics that remind them of this cherished time of the year.

Look how many Christmas phrases I've used so far! You probably thought 'aww' not 'staaaahp!'. It really 'tis the season for the cliches (and everyone loves it).

3. Visuals to match

Christmas is a very visual time, so whether you're writing scripts for videos, email campaigns, blogs, websites or landing pages, if you want to ride on Santa's coat-tales, make your content easy to identify, so that it triggers the right emotions.

Nothing warms people like seeing themed cards, brochures and pamphlets with a bit of Christmas cheer. 

4. Audio too!

Of course, don't forget the soundtracks too! 
Add sleigh-bells and carols to your copywritten media, and you're set.

5. Themed landing pages

Want to get into the spirit with your website, but don't want to change everything for the sake of a few weeks?

​A themed landing page with relevant copywriting will help engage your customers better this season, and then you can easily remove it when January hits.

6. Christmas Call To Actions

A strong call to action is always key in all content pieces, but up the ante with something festive that they can only get now.

For example, throw in a Christmas bargain, a holiday discount, a festive extra... something that gives people some extra value during this wonderful time of year.

And send them to the landing page (from Point 4)! 

It will create a sense of urgency, and make your campaign relevant to them now.
