Keep Your Videos Short and Sweet
Your audience seeks brief yet engaging greetings, and lack the time for lengthy, elaborate videos. Therefore, it’s crucial to plan your video script in advance, focusing on brevity and simplicity. Ensure your videos establish the appropriate business tone of voice, and remember to incorporate the festive spirit.
Ask Questions to Encourage Engagement
With the use of personalised video recording platforms like Loom and Vidyard, you can record unique, personalised videos for each recipient. You could ask what plans they have in store for the Christmas holidays, what their traditions are, or with who and where they will spend their time off. You can also share your plans with them. This will not only open the door to a more personal connection with your prospects and clients but also invites them to relate to you on an individual level.
By sharing insights into your plans and traditions, you create a conversational bridge that transcends business, establishing a genuine rapport that resonates beyond the professional sphere. It’s about forging connections that go beyond the transactional, fostering a sense of shared experiences and common ground.
Use a Theme for the Christmas Season
Ensure that your video clips distinctly capture the essence of Christmas. Make use of a Christmas themed music track and seasonal embellishments with graphics, backgrounds or props for your video.
Make it Personal and Creative
Crafting personal and creative Christmas greetings with video adds a unique touch that resonates with viewers on a deeper level. Show a human face that represents the Brand, or your own, if it’s your business. Use one of the business leaders to present the message and talk to camera. By infusing personality and creativity, you forge a genuine connection, making your message more memorable and impactful. It transforms a routine greeting into a special, shared moment, fostering a sense of authenticity and warmth that traditional methods such as a handwritten card used to have. Personalised and creative Christmas greetings stand out, leaving a lasting impression and enhancing the emotional impact of your communication.
Engage Your Team in Christmas Greetings
Ever heard of the saying “the more, the merrier”? Use that principle when planning out your video greetings. Extend invitations to your complete sales team, manager, and customer care representatives to participate in the video, collectively conveying warm wishes to your prospects and clients this Christmas season. This collaborative approach enhances the personal, human touch of your greetings.
Share Your Christmas Traditions in Social Media
Consider extending the joy beyond your contact list by sharing your unique traditions with others. With the power of social media, allow others to get a glimpse of life within your business. It’s an invitation for connection, understanding, and a celebration of the diverse ways the people within your business mark a special time of the year. In the spirit of togetherness, you can weave a mosaic of shared traditions that resonates with the harmony of the Christmas season to spread that festive cheer.
