The holiday season is the most wonderful and busiest time of the year for most companies, driving around 19% of total annual retail sales. As businesses gear up for the festive rush, having the right strategies in place is crucial to stand out in the crowded marketplace. Here are several tactics that can help your business thrive during the holiday season.

Effective marketing support is a crucial factor for lenders and Business Development Officers (BDOs) to achieve success. However, many financial institutions face a common issue that undermines this essential aspect: a lack of adequate internal marketing resources.

The reality for many lenders is a struggle to balance marketing with their core responsibility of selling. With no formal training in marketing or graphic design, they’re left to piece together options that are incohesive at best and non-compliant at worst.
