Twitter Chat: How SMBs Can Take Advantage of Consumer Holidays

Holidays are terrific opportunities to call attention to your business, hold a sale, offer a special, and motivate  customers to shop.  While many holidays are focused on consumer sales, even companies that sell business-to-business find ways to leverage consumer holidays to increase sales and get customers to buy.

Holidays are more than December 25th â€" there’s Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and more.  These holidays will be here before you know it.  Share ideas with us on how to make the holidays a great time for your business.  Join us for a one-hour Twitter chat on the subject on Thursday, February 7th at 8 pm Eastern (5 pm Pacific time), presented by FedEx Office.

Tell us what’s on your mind and what you’re planning to to do to promote holiday sales volume â€" whether it’s running promotions, decorating your storefront, or simply having some fun in your email newsletter  in honor of an upcoming holiday.

In addition to providing great tips on preparing for the holidays in minutes, we’ll also be giving away several $25 gift cards, courtesy of FedEx Office, which is presenting this Twitter chat.
