Small business update: prepare for holiday marketing today

When most people start crafting holiday shopping lists, small business owners have to think holiday marketing. Whether you're mulling over a new special to entice shoppers or a super secret promotion, here are some tips from MSN.com's Business on Main to help get you started.

What you should get started on today:

Decide the basics. How do you want to treat customers and how can it benefit sales? Events, special holiday products, promotions, free gifts are just some examples. Make sure delegate responsibilities. Have fun with it and remember that holiday promos can help build customer loyalty.

During October:

Prepare holiday promotions, finalize offers and pricing, prepackage products to inspire greater-volume purchases, plan gift wrap and shipping options, and determine holiday decorations and whether you'll provide special refreshments or services for customers.

**Remember** Cross promote holiday offers on your Web site, social networks and customer mailing lists

 During November:

Update your e-mail signature to include holiday greetings and offers, along with a link to your holiday Web page.

Select greeting cards the uniquely represent your business and brand image while addressing interests and beliefs of your customers.

Plan the gifts you'll distribute in December. Consider giving away your service or talents. A hairdresser might give a certificate for a treatment in January (when business is otherwise slow). A service business might give a year of monthly "business tips and trends" updates (which could double as publicity items). A restaurant might send loyal customers off with a bag of the chef's trademark sweets. No matter what, address the gift personally rather than saying, "Dear Customer."

During December: 

Send holiday cards, e-mails and gifts, each one personalized so employees, customers and friends know you value them individually.

 Send an e-mail blast announcing the last day you can ship orders to arrive before Christmas. Spur sales with a free rush-shipment offer.

Feature Friday: Holiday labels

It's true. The holidays are right around the corner. If you're like us, we like to plan in advance. Browse your favorite holiday labels and make sure your holiday cards don't leave your home without a festive sticker.

It's not too late to send holiday cheer with Holiday Labels

You still have time to send out your holiday cards with festive flair.

Regular return address labels can be kind of "blah" for this time of the year when color and design reign. Holiday labels provide the solution when you want friends and family to receive holiday cards with style.

Making your own holiday cards? Add some decorative touches inside as well. Some ideas: confetti, glitter, collage of photos, ribbon and more.

In-store holiday shoppers send cheer with shipping labels

The official count is 43 days until Christmas and 41 days until Hanukkah. There are so many shops, so many people to shop for and so little time.

For all of our die-hard, Black Friday bargain friends, we wish you happy hunting for that special steal that will make a great gift for a friend or family member. If you're brave enough to thrust yourself into the crowds, you're probably the kind of person who prefers to see items for yourself before you buy them.

This means seeing a product with your own eyes and ensuring its quality before shipping it off. If you're doing any holiday shipping this year, adding Dymo holiday shipping labels to your packages adds an extra dose of holiday cheer.

Discover holiday traditions from around the world

This season we'll be packaging holiday cards and sealing them with holiday labels to send to our friends and family, but what traditions do people celebrate across the globe?

Germany: Making gingerbread houses--this is where the ornate confections got their start.

England: In England, "Santa Claus" is known as Father Christmas, but he traditionally wears a green coat, unlike the St. Nick in the U.S.

Italy: Italian children do not receive gifts from jolly old St. Nick. Instead, a kind yet homely looking witch named La Bafana allegedly flies around on a stick dropping presents at children's homes.

Poland: One popular tradition in this country is to pour hot bees wax into a bucket of cool water. The wax cools off when it touches the cold water, and the pieces of wax take on  several forms. The shapes that the pieces of wax form are used to tell fortunes, which is popular because the holiday is close to the New Year.

Get a jumpstart on your holiday to-do list

Hopefully you're placing the finishing touches on your Thanksgiving planning by now. But it's not too early to think about the holidays and you're ever-expanding to-do list.

Buying gifts, sending cards, booking airfare...the list goes on.

Here's a refresher on what to do and when to do it:

• Cards - You can buy your cards well in advance. Why not now? Send them two to three weeks before the holiday, so guests have time to display them. Add a season's greeting to your envelopes, too with Dymo 30397 holiday address labels.
• The tree - Most of us spend a lot of time decorating the tree each year. If you own an artificial tree, you can set it up after Thanksgiving for weeks of enjoyment.
• Airfare - Start looking for holiday deals now. They are currently competitively priced.
• Planning the menu - Two or three weeks before your holiday, plan a menu and start asking family members what they would like to bring to the feast.
• Gifts - Not a 5 a.m. Black Friday shopper? Start looking online. Pretty much all of your shopping can be done with the click of your mouse and many online retailers offer discounted or free shipping if you order in advance.

Sending out holiday greetings to your customers? Holiday labels complete the package

Sending holiday greetings to your valued customers is a great way to foster solid relationships and build your reputation.
