Is my site Ready for Christmas and New Year?

Hello,

Soon it is Christmas and New Year, a top period for every shop and commercial activity I guess...
So, why not the affiliate marketing sector or the internet market in general?
I would like to do something with my website for the end of the year, but I don't know what exactly. And especially I don't know what works...
Maybe there are some general rules to approach such a period?

As you can see above, there is a complete Christmas theme available at ThemeForrest.
But that is a little bit over the top (I mean for my site and as a personal choice.). :-)
While I was searching for some pictures I found this site: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/christmas-wordpress-plugins/
Here you can find 20 Christmas plug-ins to fancy your site, so that is my contribution to this topic... ;-)
(The ones I checked were free! )


But now my actual question or need:
Are there people with some good ideas to launch on their site for Christmas and/or New Year?
And did you already try this the previous years and what was the result?
Did someone has already put his site in a "Chrismas theme" and what did you change to do this? (Regarding plug-ins we have an answer...)

I am curious what the suggestions might be! :-)

Grtz,

Bert

I have tended to add Christmas into social media posts linking to ordinary sales pages on my website. I did do a Halloween themed post if that's any use?

A post is indeed also an action that can help.... A good suggestion! Thks for your comment...

There's a woman who sells a program that takes this slant - 'Make extra Money for Christmas'. Shem must have thought that had some value. I bought it but didn't do anything with it.

Thanks for the info! :-)

Had not thought of that Bert thank you I do not like things that are too fussy, New Year is a big deal in Scotland so I do like the nice banner you have there

I would say, take a print screen and use it!
Glad I could help... :-)

This is really cool and something I would not have thought of.
Thanks Bert!
Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Val

Thanks Val, always welcome...

I just replaced my header from my workathome website with a Chrismas header :)

Nice one Loes! And no other special actions? So actually not that much people do something?

I want to place a clickable Christmas card on the front page, directing to a post with a Christmas wish, kind of like the blog I wrote here

Thru the years i had in the other world:) ,if you going to promote any holiday , need to start at least 2 months in advance (depending on how much you want to do for the occasion) obviously the more you do the soon you want to start, to be able to hit the start date

Yes a good campaign needs a lot of preparation... I can imagine...
But then my question still remains: How are companies able to tackle everything that happens now? There are so many things...

it is a wonderful time of the year but just over so quickly so to make an impact it has to be something really dramatic!!!!!

Yes, I understand what you say, but how are other stores coop with this issue... In Belgium on 6 December it was "Sinterklaas" all stores are in function to that topic till then, before we had Halloween and on 25 December it is Christmas...
So, how do they do that? It goes very fast these days......

Starting more early with the preparation is certainly needed... :-)
But it is a learning curve after all.... ;-)

Agree mate - I think that the true meaning has gone because I am old school and today it has changed into a lets get Santa rich!!!

For Children, I think, Christmas exists because Santa is passing by that day... Obviously.. Not? ;-)

I like to add a javascript snowflake effect to my sites. ;-)

Sounds great, unless it is a storm... :-)

And it reminds me of how the Internet was in 1999.

Thanks Bert

Great tips and info :-)

You are welcome Heidi, but I hope there will be more than what I wrote... :-)
