== Encourage referrals. Put up a 'Tell a friend' button or script on your site so that visitors can let their friends know about your great holiday offer. Or offer a coupon and invite customer to 'share' it with a friend. More on encouraging referral business is available in article, "Building a Referral-Friendly Business": http://onlinebusinessbasics.com/articles/referrals.html

== Send out a holiday-related press release. For instance, people love to hear heartwarming stories and acts of charity, particularly during holiday season.

== Write holiday articles or stories that relate to your product or service. Distribute article and encourage others to pass it on. At end of article, leave a small link or blurb about your business and current holiday specials.

Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes' work to grab attention of eager holiday shoppers! Have a safe, happy, and prosperous holiday season.

To increase your web site traffic without busting your advertising budget, try piggy backing your web advertising onto your current local store ads.

For example:

In your newspaper ads use a little space at bottom of each ad for this:

Too Busy To Come By The Store? We Are As Close As Your Computer (Your URL)

Another traffic builder is to print up some flyers advertising your web site and staple them to each customer's receipt.

Those are two examples of piggy backing your web business onto your local ads and business practices. You can come up many more if you will take a little time and think about it.
