The Magic of Giveaways
Showcasing a giveaway is a classic marketing strategy to get their customers excited and a chance to win something from their favorite brand. The holidays are a perfect time to engage your audience — You just need to see when’s the best time to post a giveaway for your brand.
The competition may be high during this season, but as long as you develop a clear analysis of your audience, you can optimize the right engagement.

Driving Prices Down for Christmas
If you’re wondering when other brands post about discounted products, you can see a clear spike during Black Week. During this time, brands launched their initial campaigns to gain the visibility they need to jump-start their holiday social media campaigns. You can develop a general idea of how much discounts you can offer during specific times of the season.
It’s normal to assume that shoppers get the best deals between Black Friday and New Year’s Day. However, the graph show posts containing higher discounts — after the holiday season.
January is the time when people go back to work and spend less money. Yet, brands use this chance to discount their products, even further, and to make more room for new products. But as a shopper, maybe the best time to go shopping would be after the busy holiday season.

It’s a Holly Jolly Christmas Ad
The most engaging Christmas ads are the ones that have a message. Last Christmas, Iceland’s Christmas ad was about the destruction of orangutan habitats for palm oil. The video contained a striking hashtag, #NoPalmOilChristmas. Even though it was banned on TV for being too political, the video gained over 1 million interactions on Facebook, and 6 million+ views on Youtube.
John Lewis & Partners collaborated with an iconic singer, Elton John, to create a video of a special Christmas gift he received as a child. It attracted over 13 million views on YouTube and contained a powerful message — “Some gifts are more than just a gift.”
