Sleigh Your Branding: How We’ve Helped Clients Add Festive Spirit to Their Marketing

The christmas season is one of the busiest times for e-commerce and a golden opportunity to showcase your brand in a festive light. At our creative agency, we love helping our clients develop engaging, holiday-inspired visuals that highlight their unique identity while embracing the Christmas spirit. Below, we share some creative strategies we’ve used to elevate our clients’ festive marketing campaigns.

Hero Images with Impact

For Goddards, we created a visually striking hero image featuring their bestsellers alongside the tagline, “Give the Gift of Goddards.” We incorporated their signature tartan as the backdrop, reinforcing their brand identity while evoking a warm, homely holiday vibe. This graphic-based approach provided a bold and cohesive introduction to their festive campaign.

Festive Product Photography Edits

For Sloane the Label, we enhanced their holiday drop with festive product photography. To complement their bags, we opted for a sparkling beige backdrop. This subtle yet festive addition gave the products a seasonal appeal, making them stand out as perfect holiday gifts. Check out the product page here.

Christmas Campaign Photography

A well-executed festive campaign shoot can set the tone for Christmas marketing. For our jewellery client, we photographed their pieces against a cosy backdrop featuring a Christmas tree. The imagery combined lifestyle elements with a classic holiday setting, resonating with audiences looking for thoughtful and elegant gift ideas.

Seasonal Mascot Updates

Adding a Christmas twist to a mascot or logo is a great way to add some festive cheer. For our client in the farming industry, whose mascot is an illustrated vegetable, we redesigned the illustration to include a Santa suit. This playful update not only delighted their customers but also reinforced their brand identity with a touch of festive fun. Even if your business doesn’t naturally align with the festive season, adding small, thoughtful touches can keep your brand relevant and bring it back into your customers’ minds.

Hosting Christmas Events:

Hosting a holiday event can be an excellent way to build community while engaging existing and potential customers. We partnered with a butchery business to create a festive in-store event featuring three holiday-inspired dishes. Our team designed promotional materials, including event leaflets, and captured professional photos and videos for their ongoing content strategy.

Themed Blog Posts:

For Basics, we crafted a festive blog post designed to spotlight their stocking fillers and gift sets, creating an effortless shopping experience for their customers during the busy holiday season. By carefully curating the selection, we positioned smaller, affordable items as perfect stocking fillers while presenting their more luxurious offerings as ideal main gifts. This clear segmentation made it easier for customers to navigate their options and find thoughtful presents within their budget.

To infuse the blog with seasonal charm, we incorporated festive design elements such as striped boxes, ribbon-bow header image, and romantic fonts. These visual touches elevated the content, transforming what could have been an ordinary product showcase into an engaging and memorable Christmas-themed experience. By aligning the design with the joyful spirit of the season, the blog effectively communicated warmth and cheer while maintaining the brand’s cohesive style.

This approach not only made the blog visually appealing but also positioned it as a helpful resource for holiday shoppers, enhancing the customer journey and encouraging conversions. Through this festive and functional design, Basics successfully connected with their audience and celebrated the season in a meaningful way.
