Merchant Suggestions:

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!
