Celebrate, Create, and Give Back This Holiday Season
The holidays are here, which means it’s time to add a little sparkle to your marketing strategy and your community! From festive decor inspiration to local events that give back, there are so many creative ways to celebrate the season while staying connected to your audience. Here are a few of our favorite ideas and local events to inspire your holiday campaigns.
Holiday Decorating Showcase: Lead with Visuals
If you’ve ever been to the Holiday Decorating Showcase in Chipley, you know just how magical a little creativity can be. This year’s event on October 30th features designer Kirby Holt of Blossoms, who’ll be sharing his favorite tips and tricks to make your home feel merry and bright. It’s the perfect reminder that visuals make the magic in your home and your marketing. Whether it’s a beautifully designed display or a scroll-stopping Instagram post, aesthetics are everything during the holidays. Refresh your brand visuals with a festive twist. Think cozy colors, a few holiday-inspired visuals, or showcase your products and services in seasonal settings.
Holly Fair 2025: Shop Local, Share Local
Our favorite Stillwaters Boutique will be shining at Holly Fair 2025, held at Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort in Panama City Beach from November 13th-16th. Between the Preview Party, Champagne Brunch, and shopping galore, it’s a reminder of how much joy local businesses bring to the season. Holly Fair is proof that when people connect, amazing things happen, in our community and in marketing. If you’re a business, partner with local brands or creators for a holiday collab! Think co-branded giveaways, cross-promotion on social media, or themed pop-ups. Sharing each other’s audiences helps everyone grow and your community will love seeing local businesses supporting one another.
Festival of Trees: Give Back & Get Noticed
Few events capture the spirit of giving like the Festival of Trees, hosted by the Central Panhandle Association of REALTORS. Taking place November 22nd at Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort, the event benefits the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center and Anchorage Children’s Home, pairing festive fun with a meaningful cause. Businesses can join in by donating a decorated tree or a silent auction item. It’s a great example of how giving back can also build visibility and trust for your brand.
Want to do the same? Add a charitable twist to your holiday campaign. Donate a portion of proceeds to a local nonprofit, organize a toy drive, or spotlight a cause your team loves. Authentic generosity creates a stronger emotional connection with your audience!
