Add Some "Cheer" To Your Site This Holiday Season
This blog entry was posted on December 5, 2008.
Deck your website with holiday accents,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to improve your online conversions,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Host a snazzy holiday sale,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Adorn your site with holiday cheer,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Ahem. I’ll refrain from scaring you off with the rest of the song, but you get the gist of the message. Why not add some holiday accents to your website? It shows that you care, you’re topical, and hip!
Have a snowball whiz past the top of your logo, add some icicles to the bottom of your logo – holi-daze your site by changing some of the colors to red and green!

Respect other holidays around the same time, and refrain from being overtly prejudice for one particular celebration. The benefits include not alienating web surfers, and if you stick with a more general “winter” theme, you can keep your design changes up for longer than New Years Day (which should really be the mandatory date for taking down your lights, come on now, people).
In the end, it all amounts to adding some personalization to your site. Keeping it fresh, relevant, and memorable.
Obviously, one site may take the idea and have a penguin sliding off the end of the “s” on their logo and for another site, it may not be appropriate whatsoever. The thing to take from this is that customers identify with the holiday season. Whether you want to flank your logo with holiday wreaths or host a holiday sale, new and returning customers will appreciate the attention you give to your web presence by using smart business website design.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to start training for the Feats of Strength held after dinner for Festivus on December 23rd…

Nice post! I think, really, the most basic example of this would just be google.com – they change up their logo for different holidays and events and it’s something that just adds a little perk to the user experience.

Yeah!Yeah! Nothing says Happy Holidays then showing it on your site. Having a website with the same look year round is dual. Adding special designs for special occasion or holiday will give your site a fresh look and feel for visitors.
