Planning sales and other business promotions around special annual events and holidays is a great way to boost success. You can promote your products in new, unique, attention getting ways and you will have a great excuse to contact customers with your special offers.

Start out by taking some time and thinking about the product or service you have to offer and how they can fit into holidays or special events. If you happen to sell cosmetics, you can offer special makeovers for prom, brides-to-be, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. If you sell scrapbook supplies, hold a sale slightly before or after each holiday. Most people will take lots of pictures on the actual holiday and will want to start scrapbooking on their new photos.

Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to use if your company sells kitchen products. You could also use a bridal shower to show off your goods. Businesses that market their products to children, selling books, toys, and the like, can use the end and beginning of summer vacation to highlight their array of products and maximize customer exposure.

Companies that make their money from the sale of informational products can use special events to their advantage as well. When kids go back to school in the early fall, offer specials on start your own business merchandise that stay at home parents will be especially interested in.

After excessive holiday spending, many people are eager to purchase information on saving money and paying off credit card debt in January.

You can also offer specials on services you provide. Feel free to get creative and have fun with the process. For example, if you are an event planner, offer a special during the summer for planning family reunions or graduation parties. Another idea would be to offer a discount all-year to parents who hire you to plan their child's first birthday.

Increase your promotion's success by working with other local businesses. This will expose you to an even larger customer base. Web designers can team up with informational product salespeople to offer information on starting a new business with a special start-up website deal, calling it the "New Year, New Business" deal.

If you use your imagination, you can find a way to build a promotion around your products and services that fits any holiday. If you need help thinking up ideas, just look at the commercials or circulars for your local stores, as they will be using these types of promotions to lure their own customers.
