What is Crimbo Limbo and why is it important for sales?
Hello, and welcome to episode 23 of the You Can Podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Jolly Jarvis, and today we're gonna be talking around maximizing the opportunity of sales in January. A lot of my customer base are service-based businesses who, when it becomes closer and closer to Christmas, it begins to wind down and get quieter. Christmas is not a make, hey, once the sun shines kind of opportunity for this customer base. What is an opportunity is that time, well, is January, but more specifically, that limbo, crimbo limbo as they call it now, between Christmas and New Year, that period of time where between Christmas and New Year, you're at home, you're more than likely not working. People aren't expecting you to be working, which is really nice. This is one of, this is one of my favourite things about the Christmas period. is that time where you might be doing the odd thing with work, but there's no expectation for you to be there. The summer holidays, people are taking holiday at different times.
And so there is still people working and wanting to get things done and deadlines and people chasing you. Whereas actually during that Christmas period, everyone is wound down. Everyone is busy doing their own thing. And so there isn't that expectation of you getting back to people, of you pushing projects, et cetera, forwards. and so it's a really, really nice period in time. What it also is is a great opportunity for online sales. You've got the likes, lots of online retailers, lots of websites that will report major peaks in their hits and their visitors over that period of time. I think one of the biggest days for people going online and looking at houses and buying holidays is Boxing Day because people have ticked the box on Christmas Day and they are then
looking and scrolling through their phones, looking at things to buy with Christmas money that they've received, or they're looking for that entertainment. And that is when not only interrupt marketing, which I could care about all day, having the agency side of things with interrupt marketing and getting in front of those individuals when they are in that buying mode.
How can businesses capitalize on the Crimbo Limbo period?
This is great, not just for B2C with retail opportunities, et cetera, et cetera, but it's an interrupt marketing, obviously, one that I could talk around in much detail, but it is also a great opportunity for B2B sales. So people who provide businesses with services, with products. And the reason for that is that those individuals beginning to look into the new year of things getting going again after Christmas, it is the kind of peak getting active again time after September. So I think between January and September, depending on what industry you're in, you have those peaks, one potentially being more than the other, but both great opportunities for pushing your business forward and getting more customers on board. And so how do you make the most of that? And that is what I'm going to be talking around today.
That Christmas limbo time is the time that you're really talking around. When I'm talking around January and getting ready for January, I am really talking about the 26th onwards to kind of mid-January are great opportunities. Now, obviously, not everybody wants to be working and actively working during that period of time. And I am absolutely with you on that one. But there's lots of things you can do to capitalize on that without having to be present for your customer base. But just to be clear on the opportunity that is available, there was new research done recently which talked around nearly half, it was basically 48% of Brits shop more during the Christmas limbo, the Crimbo limbo time than they do actually Black Friday. So 48% shop more.
more, then you've got the fact that 92% of Generation Z and millennials spend the same or more than what they did on Black Friday during that Crimbo Limbo time. So everyone is push, push, push, focus on the Black Friday offers. You know, Amazon this year is running a Black Friday week, which is actually more like 10 days. There is so much push towards that Black Friday.
