Talking Turkey to Your Customers!

Creating theme related curriculum materials can be a great way to gain traffic to your website during the holiday months. If you are considering how to drive traffic to your website, brainstorm ways to incorporate Thanksgiving, Hanukah, or St. Patrick’s Day into your offerings.
Maybe you’re saying to yourself, we create middle school and high school level materials- how does this pertain to us?  When I was teaching both middle school and high school, teachers are looking for great ways to incorporate the holidays into their lesson plans. Think beyond the basic turkey puzzle, or Christmas trivia and think about science, math, and social studies.  They could be a great way to promote a new product, book, or marketing initiative. Science and math are often the teachers lacking any creative options in my view.
Another way to address themed materials is to create something digital.  This is a great time to explore a podcast, an e- book, or a promotional contest to get teachers and/or students involved. Even teachers who have a plethora of fun materials are always looking for something new!
