Each December, online sales skyrocket. Retailers are busy promoting their products and shoppers are busy buying them! To ensure your website doesn't miss out, having a Christmas marketing plan is essential. Today we're sharing with you ten things you'll need to organise so your site is ready to sell out!

You've been blogging all year long and now that Christmas is approaching, you've run out of ideas about what to post. It's okay though, because you have an entire year's worth of information to share with your website visitors! We've got 12 end of year blog ideas for you.

Dear Santa, this year I've been very good - and so has your business! This Christmas, email continues to be an effective marketing tool for your business. That's because at this time of the year,

• it is easier to convert customers. They're ready to buy and your email just needs to send them in the right direction
• there are more purchases made during the Christmas period than any other time during the year
• emails are more likely to reach your target audience because they are delivered right to their mailbox, are personalised and don't get lost amongst the huge volumes of paid online marketing

We've put together the ultimate Christmas email marketing guide, which will walk you through designing a Christmas email template, share email marketing tips to boost your ROI and ideas about what topics you could use.

In the lead up to Christmas, things can get slightly crazy! Having your Christmas marketing plans sorted helps to reduce the overwhelm while ensuring that customers know all about your products - and buy them! One of the major problems retailers face is the volume of information customers receive at this time of the year, through email campaigns, social media, print media and paid advertisements. 

Rising above this and getting noticed is really hard work, so we've put together a collection of 25 creative Christmas marketing ideas for you to consider using during your marketing campaigns in the lead up to the holidays.
