Thanksgiving is indeed a holiday of paradoxes. While it makes one of the most sentimental times of the year and family celebrations it also kicks off the mad buying frenzy and the big fat holiday shopping season.  Be thankful for all your blessings and make everyone in your life feel special and appreciated with your thanks message.

Here are some incredible marketing ideas for start-ups or budget conscious marketers that will help you stand out.

Custom Gifts

Free gifts are something that everyone likes to get. Thanks giving gifts will enable marketers to convey their gratitude to their patrons with these. These logo items will also keep their business logo front and center of their audience. The traditional thanksgiving gifts like chocolates will make a great choice. Chest Box with Large Chocolate Pretzels  or Gold Rim Plastic gift box with Cashews will all make great choices. Your message and brand on these gift boxes will get a lot of attention and appreciation.

BBQ sets or oven mitts are perfect handouts to celebrate the tradition of barbecuing during this holiday. Customize these with your brand and message to make it a long lasting reminder for your brand. These high utility gifts will set off word of mouth publicity as well. Wine bottle sets and wine glasses is another brilliant combo gift that everyone will love this season.

Make your employees feel special

A great work culture not just enhances your corporate identity but your popularity among the audience. After all, customers get the benefits of excellent service when businesses have happy employees to their credit. Offer dinner discount coupons, custom gifts or paid holidays for your employees. Appreciate the contributions of your team in making your business great and let everyone know about it with these thoughtful gestures. Keeping the employees happy will make it easy for them to connect with your brand on an emotional level.

Offer a loyalty discount for your customers

Build up a buzz for your holiday sales by offering loyalty discount for your existing customers or those who make frequent purchases close to Thanksgiving. Highlight the exclusivity factor for this select group of customers by offering them a secret loyalty discount.

Hold a fun contest

Increase the footfalls of your stores and build up the holiday mood during Thanksgiving with some cooking contests, pumpkin carving contests or photo contest that will make your brand the talk of the town. It will also earn a lot of social media buzz long after the holidays. Choose small yet thoughtful gifts for the winners.

Get involved in community giving

Thanksgiving is a perfect time to show your gratitude to your supportive local community by organizing a fundraiser for the cause of your choice or sponsorships for community activities. It will highlight the compassionate face of your brand and will give a thrust for your goodwill.
