Thanksgiving Promo/Coupon

If your company uses some sort of loyalty program then this is the time to give that bunch something special. These are your cream of the crop customers who you know enjoy your product enough to join a program. However, while it's great to have loyal customers, it's even better to have more. In order to increase the number of members, your company needs to advertise a Thanksgiving deal that is only available to people part of the loyalty program. This will make the current members feel special, and bring in new members.

Social Media  

People want to have fun on the Holidays. Many American's have Thanksgiving Day, and the weekend off. During this time, they will not constantly be eating turkey, that would be crazy.
