When you think of holiday promotions, it’s retailers that most often come to mind. However, whether you own a store, restaurant, service provider or even a B2B company, smart marketing can play a huge roll in increasing holiday sales, too.

Here are some of the ideas that can boost your bottom line during the holidays:

• Join forces with other small businesses to hold a “sidewalk sale.”
• Invite B2B prospects to a “getting to know you” party.
• Hold a special sale for your best customers, at a time when you’re normally closed.
• Send real holiday cards, not e-cards. They’re more likely to get noticed.
• And many more!
