Christmas is a strategic period for businesses, with a massive influx of customers in shopping centers, parking lots, and shopping streets.
To maximize your sales, well-designed local advertising is essential — whether through traditional or digital media.
Why local advertising is essential during Christmas
Unlike national campaigns, local advertising allows you to reach your customers directly around your store or in strategic areas of Geneva and across French-speaking Switzerland. It enables you to:
-
Attract customers who can easily reach your store.
-
Build a close connection with your community.
-
Optimize your budget by targeting only the most relevant areas.
During the holiday season, consumers often prefer local shops to avoid travel stress and enjoy a more personalized experience.
OOH advertising: reach customers where they are
OOH (Out Of Home) advertising includes traditional media such as billboards, posters, and flyers placed in strategic locations:
-
Shopping streets, city centers, or high-traffic districts.
-
Helps strengthen local brand awareness and increase the visibility of your promotions.
-
Ideal for capturing the attention of consumers on the move, even offline.
DOOH advertising: digital impact in high-traffic areas
DOOH (Digital Out Of Home) displays your messages on digital screens in high-traffic locations such as parking areas and shopping centers:
-
Animated and luminous visuals naturally attract attention.
-
Messages can be quickly adapted to highlight seasonal promotions.
-
Allows you to reach consumers at the moment they are making purchasing decisions.
Create attractive and festive campaigns
During Christmas, your advertising should capture the spirit of the season:
-
Warm and festive visuals.
-
Limited-time offers to encourage immediate purchase.
-
Clear, localized calls to action: ‘Discover our Christmas offers in Geneva!’ or ‘Enjoy our promotions at your Manor Vevey store!
