holiday season

How are brands are using social media during the holiday season?

With Black Friday sales ending, brands have kick started their festive promotions.

What should brands be considering on as we approach the holiday season?

People are cutting back on spending (and they’re feeling the effects of it). So one of the best things your brand can do right now is to find ways to support your consumers.

Social content that shows empathy and understanding of the real issues consumers face will build a much stronger connection than campaigns promoting big-ticket or luxury items. 

Your brand may even get better results by sharing advice, content and deals on how to have the best celebration this festive season.
