One 2022 holiday shopping trend some experts are predicting is that people will start shopping earlier than ever. Faced with higher costs and tighter budgets, consumers will be doing more comparison shopping. If you wait much longer to start your holiday PR, it may be too late to influence buyers’ decisions.
Unlike paid ads, media stories give you the space to talk about your product’s features and benefits. You also get the halo effect of the media’s third-party endorsement. (The Goop Holiday Gift Guide and Oprah’s Favorite Things List are examples of this concept on steroids!)
The bottom line: We all want to give (and receive) gifts that are on-trend and in-demand. Being featured as a hot new gift item may really boost your sales.
The secret is to share your story with reporters and list-makers now, in the summer. The media, particularly editors of longer lead outlets – print and digital magazines and newspapers – are already making their plans.
