3. Use Paid Ads
The holiday season is the time to pull up your sleeves to get into the market to grab attention of your consumers for lead generation. You have to invest in paid ads as your competitors are taking benefit of paid ads. Try to use remarketing campaigns as it gives the best ROI because you are targeting the people who have already shown interest in your product.

4. Target more than one social networking websites
Generally, people put all their attention over a single social networking website such as Facebook because it has the maximum user engagement and audience reach. However, a diversified SMM campaign by amalgamating different social channels such as Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. will help you to reach a more diversified audience, which can result in better ROI.
