With the abundance of gifting holidays this month, including Re-Gifting Day (who knew that existed!), it is the perfect time to stock up on all of the essential wrapping, bags and bows. Expect your shoppers to have an eye out for unique ways to make the best first impression with their gifts. Include key words like “DIY Wrapping”, “Bulk Gift Wrapping”, and “Ribbons and Bows” in your posts. Most shoppers will be looking for creative, yet inexpensive ways to decorate their packages. After all, one million people will search for the terms “wrapping”, “gift wrap” and “gift boxes”, alone! Help get your creative juices flowing with these content ideas:

Decorating your home for each holiday is often a tradition for each household.  From trees, lights, ornaments, and decorating trinkets online shoppers are searching for it all. 2.2 million searches were recorded last December for just “Trees”. Following closely after with 1.5 million searches were “lights” and “holiday decorations.” The average shopper will spend $800 on non-gift items for the season, including decor. This is an expected 33% increase from past season, so start writing some posts on festive decorations.

Don’t forget to include your Merchant coupons and deals in these posts as well. Words like “sale”, “deals”, “coupons”, and “budgets” will draw those readers in!
