Christmas 2021 is here! Put on your red cone hats, decorate Christmas trees and share cups of hot chocolate with your loved ones! We also saw small businesses joining in the festive cheer with their own little twists. Here are 4 ways small online businesses are celebrating Christmas this year.<\/p>\n

1. Offering discounts\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

December is the time when there is an influx of customers to online stores. They buy gifts for their families and loved ones. One of the ways in which small businesses are celebrating Christmas is by offering discounts to increase their sales. Some businesses can also have fun games that customers can play to win different kinds of discounts or complimentary gifts with their purchases. Such discounts help increase customer engagement and customer retention.<\/p>\n

Cooking studio,<\/strong><\/a> a home bakery, is a store that has a very attractive ‘spin the wheel option’ on their website. The wheel has different options ranging from 5% off to “no luck today”. They also have a 50% off Christmas sale on their website!<\/p>\n

2. Festive look\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another way that online stores are embracing Christmas cheer is by changing the look of their website as well as their social media accounts. They can change the banner images, or post content on social media that fit the Christmas theme.<\/p>\n

Flour<\/a><\/strong>, an online store selling baked goods, has a very attractive Christmas themed banner for their website!<\/p>\n

Stores like the June cosmetics have also changed their profile picture and overall colour theme on their Instagram<\/a><\/strong> to red to match the Christmas theme.<\/p>\n
