As Christmas approaches, it’s a great time for Omagh businesses to bring a little festive spirit into their social media. While promoting products and offers is important, social media is also about building relationships and there’s no better season for connection than Christmas.
Festive content helps create warmth, familiarity and trust. Below are five practical ways to add seasonal sparkle to your social media marketing this Christmas.
1. Dress Up Your Social Media Profiles
Start by giving your profiles a festive refresh. Small visual changes can instantly signal that your business is in the Christmas spirit.
Consider:
-
Updating profile and cover images with seasonal colours or subtle festive details that still reflect your brand
-
Adding a Santa hat, winter border or Christmas-themed graphic to your logo
-
Highlighting popular seasonal or giftable products
-
Using Christmas-themed humour or relatable memes to connect with customers
2. Get Customers Involved
Christmas is a natural time for conversation. Interactive content helps boost engagement and keeps your business visible.
Ideas include:
-
Sharing behind-the-scenes photos or videos of Christmas preparations
-
Featuring staff and their favourite products, with a short explanation of why
-
Asking customers what they love most about your festive range
-
Offering gift ideas or styling tips
-
Teasing upcoming launches or seasonal offers
3. Add a Personal Touch
People like buying from people. Sharing small personal moments helps humanise your business and build loyalty.
You could post about:
-
Your Christmas traditions
-
Favourite festive foods, films or local Omagh events
-
How your team marks the season
This is a chance to connect — not to sell — so keep it relaxed and authentic.
4. Seasonal Promotions & Updates
Make sure customers are kept informed during a busy time of year. Clear, timely updates help avoid confusion and missed opportunities.
Useful posts include:
-
Christmas offers or sales
-
Gift bundles and suggestions
-
Event appearances or local markets
-
Order deadlines for Christmas delivery
-
Seasonal opening hours
5. Share the Joy
Finally, take time to say thank you. Christmas is the perfect opportunity to show appreciation for your customers’ support throughout the year.
Share festive messages, quotes that fit your brand, or stories of local generosity. Ask followers about their favourite Christmas songs, events around Omagh, or holiday traditions — and don’t forget to wish them a happy and peaceful festive season.
A little thoughtfulness goes a long way, and at Christmas it can make your business feel truly memorable.
