Why Seasonal Neon Campaigns Work

Seasonal neon works because it draws on the energy of holidays and special occasions. Customers already want something different during peak sales periods like flashier displays, fun themes and visually arresting images. Neon pairs so well with this sentiment as its bold light and instant visual gratification is nothing shy of showy-needy!

More than aesthetics, however, seasonal neon keeps your brand current. Changing an Easter bunny outline or a holiday winter-themed design tells potential customers that your business is up and running. It signals to customers that you have thought about your customer experience.

Neon also draws social posting. Customers invariably pull out their phones to snap a photo of the imaginative holiday-themed neon. Those photos get shared online, giving you free organic reach and adding a modern-day layer to your seasonal marketing.

Types of Seasonal Neon Signs

Limited Editions

Limited-edition neon signs are perfect when it comes to holidays like Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Easter, Mother’s day or other store anniversary campaigns. These designs are usually made up of custom colours, shapes and graphics. Due to them being unique they naturally seem special.Therefore most of the time in crowded shopping seasons, many small businesses use this strategy to grab attention by placing these statement pieces in their window displays.

Swappable Designs

Swappable designs offer flexibility to the businesses. Swapable designs usually include interchangeable neon elements like a heart, star, snowflake, sale tag or festive border that can be rotated during the year.

Reusable Core Signs

Different companies desire a lengthier plan of brandkeeping, e.g. a central branded neon sign kept up throughout the whole year. Temporarily things such as beard ornaments, little thematic icons or attachable neon motifs can be used to connect the main sign with the holiday promotional campaigns. The result is a win-win, the company doesn't have to alter its branding but they are still involved in the seasonal theme.

Planning a Seasonal Neon Strategy

The seasonal neon campaigns that really move the needle are those that have been planned in advance. First, think about how you pair your neon ideas with a marketing calendar. So draw up a list of the main times in your year (e.g., Black Friday, Valentine's Day, etc.) and work out what kind of neon would be appropriate at each of those times.

It is very important to place an order in advance. There are times when delays in production are inevitable during the seasonal rushes and moreover your custom design will take a little more time for the adjustments.

A local provider such as Groovy Neon Signs can be really helpful in this case, as they not only know the seasonal cycles in Australia (and obviously your location) but also can assist you in figuring out the design timelines, installation requirements, material strength and the best way to handle continuous maintenance.

Tips for Displaying Seasonal Neon

• Point of positioning; location should be where it affects most. 

• Let neon highlight your décor changes, not fight with them.

• Always make sure that your neon is readable. Seasonal props shouldn't be the ones that block the sign or distort its message.

• Always keep backgrounds neat, lighting normal, and main glow free from any kind of blocking.

Storage and Care Between Seasons

If you want to keep your seasonal neon signs looking bright and vibrant, you need to maintain them properly. Take a soft microfiber cloth and remove the dust from the surface of the sign before you put it away. When you store them, wrap them carefully and put them in their original box or a padded carrying case. Keep the signs in a cool, dry place. Good care allows the product to have a longer life span. A professional maker like Groovy Neon Signs usually offers a handy guide with the care tips when you order from them. Use those instructions to keep your neon signs safe.
