Business owners are recognizing the advantages of Internet video messaging and are seeking cost-effective methods to engage customers. But, not all videos are created equal.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ad space,
Not a campaign was stirring, not even a trace.
The Glinsters were nestled, their creativity aglow,
Dreaming of strategies that continue to grow.
Santa has his sleigh, and we have our drive,
Turning visions into magic, making brands come alive.
So, as you cozy up with holiday cheer,
Know we're here to make your message clear.
Merry Christmas from all of us at Glint Advertising! 🎄✨

Lovely message
The holidays are almost here, Glinsters! 🎄✨ Time to unplug and recharge—but we know, it’s easier said than done. Setting boundaries now can save you from work interruptions later.
Here’s how to actually disconnect this season:
🗓 Remind your boss twice—Once now and once closer to your time off. A quick status update lets them plan ahead and keeps you guilt-free while you’re away.
📴 Mute notifications—Slack won’t implode. If it’s urgent, they’ll call or text.
🚪 Think like a closed store—When you’re “closed,” you’re closed. No exceptions.
🌐 Make OOO emails personal—Adding a friendly note like “Spending time with family” makes it harder for anyone to disrupt your break unless it’s truly urgent.
Your time off is yours—protect it. What’s your go-to method for disconnecting? Share below! 👇

🌟 Marketing in 2025 is coming fast. Are you ready to keep up?
Here`s what`s about to change—and what you need to watch:
1️⃣ AI isn`t optional anymore.
From hyper-personalized customer experiences to smarter chatbots, tools like Jasper and ChatGPT are turning strategy into efficiency. Get familiar now.
2️⃣ Talk to me, Alexa.
Voice search is booming. Customers are asking, not typing—so think natural language and long-tail keywords.
3️⃣ AR and VR aren`t just for gamers.
Virtual makeup try-ons. Immersive real estate tours. Brands that get creative will stand out.
4️⃣ Short-form video still reigns.
Keep TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts fast, interactive, and snackable. Engagement loves brevity.
5️⃣ Personalization goes deeper.
Dynamic content isn`t just nice to have; it`s what makes customers stick around. Platforms like Glintegration? Gold.
6️⃣ Social feeds = shopping carts.
Shoppable posts and influencer partnerships—if users can see it, they can buy it without leaving the app.
🚀 2025 isn`t slowing down. The brands that mix innovation with authenticity will lead the pack. Are you ready?
Let`s make next year the year you get noticed.

The holiday hustle isn`t over yet—it`s time to make the most of the final stretch. Here`s how small businesses and non-profits can finish strong with strategies tailored for success:
1️⃣ Early Birds? No Problem—Communicate Now
Missed the early start? Use this weekend to launch last-minute campaigns that emphasize urgency. A well-timed email blast or a targeted social post can still capture attention and drive action.
Quick tip: highlight gift cards or year-end giving incentives to meet those last-minute shoppers and donors where they are.
2️⃣ Streamline the Journey for Last-Minute Wins
Make the process seamless, whether it`s a product purchase or a donation. Review your website and eliminate extra clicks. A clean, easy-to-navigate checkout or donation page can turn potential drop-offs into conversions. Got questions about user experience? That`s where we shine.
3️⃣ Collaborate, Not Compete
It`s not too late to partner with local businesses or organizations. Share audiences through co-hosted giveaways or joint promotions. For non-profits, team up with a local business to offer a percentage of sales as donations—it`s a win for everyone involved.
The clock`s ticking, but there`s still time to turn ideas into results. Let`s make this holiday season count.
