Christmas 2025 Marketing Guide: How NZ Businesses Can Dominate the Festive Season

Christmas 2025 Marketing Guide: How NZ Businesses Can Dominate the Festive Season

With four months until Christmas, now’s the perfect time for NZ businesses to tick off a few easy tasks that’ll make December much smoother. No fancy strategies needed—just practical steps to get organised early.

At Glu Group we help with the print and digital basics that make festive marketing stress-free. Here’s what to sort now:

3 Easy Things to Do Before October

1. Order Printed Materials Early

Why? Print shops get busy, and last-minute rush fees add up.

Simple options:

  • Christmas cards (Handwrite notes to top clients in November)
  • 2026 calendars (Give as client gifts with your logo)
  • Promo giveaways (Keyrings, drink bottles, or sustainable totes)

How we help: We design and print quality materials!

2. Plan Your Social Media Posts

Why? December gets chaotic—batch-create content now.

Low-effort ideas:

  • Repost customer Christmas photos (with permission)
  • Share a simple "Holiday Hours" graphic
  • Run a basic Facebook/Instagram ad promoting gifts or services

📅 Do this: Draft captions and images by November

How we help: We manage festive ad campaigns so you don’t have to.

3. Update Your Signage

Why? Fresh signage grabs attention from passing holiday shoppers.

Quick fixes:

  1. Add removable festive decals to windows
  2. Update your A-board with Christmas hours/promos
  3. Check outdoor signs for wear (sun damage is common!)

📅 Do this: Install by late November

How we help: We design and print durable signage that lasts.

2 Last-Minute Tasks for November

1. Send One Festive Email

Keep it simple:

✔ "Holiday Hours" reminder

✔ Last-order dates for Christmas delivery

✔ A thank-you message to clients

2. Tidy Your Online Listings

Update:

  1. Google Business Profile hours
  2. Website holiday announcements
  3. Social media bios (e.g., "Closed Dec 25–Jan 5")

Need a Hand? We Do the Boring Bits

We help NZ businesses with:

✅ Printed materials (Cards, calendars, promo gifts)

✅ Simple social ads (Facebook/Instagram campaigns)

✅ Signage updates (Fast design and printing)

No complicated packages—just the essentials done well.

📩 Contact us if you’d like help ticking these off your list!

Final Tip:

Small steps now = less stress later. Focus on print, digital, and signage basics, and you’ll be set for a smooth silly season.
