Unwrapping Holiday Sales Success: September is almost too late to start your holiday marketing

The leaves are starting to change, and there’s a hint of pumpkin spice in the air. While it might seem like you have plenty of time before the holiday season kicks in, the truth is, September might actually be cutting it too close to plan and start your holiday marketing campaign. Let’s dive into the reasons why, backed by some eye-opening stats.

The countdown has begun

According to research conducted by the National Retail Federation, around 40% of consumers start their holiday shopping before Halloween. Yes, you read that right! Halloween hasn’t even arrived, and a significant chunk of shoppers is already ticking off items from their holiday shopping lists. If you’re only beginning to plan your marketing strategies in September, you risk missing out on these early bird shoppers.

Online searches are rising

Google’s data reveals a crucial trend: holiday-related searches begin to surge as early as September. From gift ideas to holiday deals, people are already turning to search engines to plan their holiday purchases. Waiting until September to start your marketing means you might not have a fully optimized online presence to capture these searches, leading to missed opportunities.

Competitive pressure is heating up

By September, many businesses have already fine-tuned their holiday marketing campaigns. This means you’ll be entering a fiercely competitive landscape where attention is hard to grab. With consumers bombarded by holiday-themed ads and promotions, it’s essential to start early to secure your place in the spotlight.
