Jingle All the Way with Seasonal Pay per Click
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010About three week s ago the cold weather rolled in, meaning soon winter and the festive season will be beating a path to our doors demanding all sorts of things like drunk relatives and chocolate-filled calendars. It also roughly marks the time to be getting in with your first Pay Par Click (PPC) ads and related search engine optimisation (SEO) tools.
Let’s say you’re in the business of online Christmas decorations (we could have gone with something like lederhosen or commercial reindeer clean-up, but we like the simplest examples here at www.searchengineoptimisation.com!), meaning the run-up to and duration of the festive season is your bread and butter. Most people (and we have this from a reliable source – the local garden centre Christmas market!) indulge their inner Christmas magpie around the end of November right through December. This saturated market can work in your favour, particularly if your SEO services are on the ball.
PPC as a short term advertising investment can work brilliantly at any time of the year with the correct implementation, e.g. advertising Easter eggs in August is generally deemed bad, bad, bad PPC distribution technique! The festive season conversion rate can figuratively (we know lots of folks might say “literally” for emphasis, but that’s incorrect grammar!) skyrocket under the guide of skilful SEO.
The scale of seasonal change largely depends on what type of product you sell. Our advice? Keep an eye on the revenue potential of seasonal PPC investment – it could pay to go in hard and fast during market affluence and limit PPC outlay during dry spells.
