In the competitive landscape of the furniture industry, consider these dynamic approaches to attract foot traffic, instill engagement, and foster lasting connections with your audience.

Create areas meant to photo and encourage selfies and design holiday-themed rooms which can double as selfie backgrounds. Place your best and hottest items in while rocking the latest trends to serve as a photo background for the holidays, as well as other seasons. Season it up! Overdo an area seasonally with seasonal decorative items, color themes, or use removable custom wallpaper and floor graphics for a backdrop (Pareti can help with that!).

Here are some effective ways to market your furniture store during the holiday season:

1. Themed Seasonal Promotions:
   • Create holiday-themed promotions, such as “Festive Furniture Deals” or “Home for the Holidays Sale.”
   • Offer discounts, bundle deals, or special financing options to entice customers.
   • Create a selfie wall or themed room for any holiday or event. Have a local football team in the playoffs? Decorate a room around that theme.
   • Pareti can help you create selfie booth areas to make visiting your store more engaging? We can supply graphics you simply hang up to provide a flat background which looks 3D in photos. In fact, if you need more vertical spaces to sell art or hanging items, check out this blog entry too.
2. Decorate Your Showroom with Festive Furnishings and Marketing:
   • Transform your store with holiday decorations to create a festive atmosphere.
   • Use themed displays to showcase your furniture in a seasonal context.
3. Gift Guides and Seasonal Furniture Promotions:
   • Create holiday gift guides featuring your furniture products.
   • Categorize items based on recipients (e.g., “Gifts for Homeowners,” “Perfect Presents for Newlyweds”, “Rooms for sports lovers”, or “Create the ideal man cave”).
4. Social Media Campaigns focusing on Holiday Home Makeovers:
   • Leverage social media platforms to share holiday promotions, decorating tips, and gift ideas. That means several posts per week on all social media channels at minimum. People love seeing beautiful rooms – take photos which capture the whole room, and other photos which are close-ups of details like lighting, pillows, pretty knobs on dressers, and other accent items. Strive to get 5 photos from every room grouping you feature, and mix up photos with other rooms to fill your social media posts with inspirational design ideas.
   • Run social media contests or giveaways to engage your audience.
   • Offer a discount, financing, or a low cost item to add to a purchase in lieu of a discount, such as a free accent lamp with every room purchase.
5. Email Marketing advertising Winter Furniture Discounts:
   • Send out holiday-themed newsletters with exclusive offers to your email subscribers.
   • Highlight popular products, gift ideas, and any special events happening in your store.
6. Collaborate with Influencers to Advertising Year-End Clearance Events:
   • Partner with local influencers or interior design bloggers to promote your holiday deals.
   • Encourage them to create content featuring your furniture in a holiday setting.
7. Flash Sales and Limited-Time Offers:
   • Create a sense of urgency with flash sales or limited-time offers.
   • Clearly communicate when these promotions will end to drive immediate action.
8. Free Shipping or Delivery Promotions:
   • Offer free shipping or delivery for holiday purchases, making it more convenient for customers.
   • Highlight this as a special holiday perk.
9. Loyalty Programs for Furniture Aficionados:
   • Introduce or enhance loyalty programs to reward repeat customers during the holidays.
   • Provide exclusive discounts, early access to sales, or special events for loyalty members.
10. Collaborate with Local Businesses:
    • Partner with other local businesses for cross-promotions.
    • For example, collaborate with a home decor store for joint promotions or events.
11. Holiday Events and Workshops for In-Store Design and Decorating How-To’s:
    • Host in-store events or workshops related to holiday decorating or home organization.
    • Offer discounts to attendees during these events.
    • Add a “Photo with Santa” area for brief hours. No extra $ to hire a Santa? Then simply provide Santa hats and a Santa area where guests can take selfies.
12. Mobile Marketing with an Emphasis on Merry and Bright Furniture Collections
    • Optimize your website for mobile users, as many people shop on their smartphones during the holidays.
    • Consider mobile advertising and geotargeting to reach potential customers in your area.
13. Furniture Gift Cards and Gift Certificates:
    • Promote the sale of gift cards or gift certificates, emphasizing that they make great holiday presents.
    • Encourage customers to buy them for friends and family.
14. Customer Appreciation using Furniture Gift Cards for Christmas:
    • Show appreciation to your customers with small holiday-themed gifts, discounts, or thank-you notes. Note – any holiday is a reason to have a small holiday themed area at minimum! Take every opportunity to make even small areas of your store look like a holiday themed home.
    • Build a sense of community and loyalty.
