Cinco de Mayo
In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, there are many ways to bring Mexican-American spirit into your marketing . For example:
Food or fitness businesses can post recipes or recipe videos on social media.
Hand out coupons the day before or a few days before the holiday that can be redeemed on Cinco de Mayo.
Share the holiday discount "code word" on social networks, customers who mention the code in the store receive a 15% discount.
Use a triumph or underdog theme. This holiday comes from Mexico's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Give your customers a victory over high prices, long lines, slow service, and more with special offers.
Use the number 5 in your promotions, such as "fifth free", $5 specials, 5% off, "5 for 5", etc.
Host a party or cooking class that celebrates Mexican cuisine and culture.
Offer your followers information on where to enjoy Cinco de Mayo. Remember, not everything you post has to be sales-oriented. Providing useful information gives your followers another reason to follow you on social media.
