Studies suggest that consumers check their social media platforms more regularly during the holiday season than normally. So logically, marketers increase the amount of advertising on social media to generate maximum sales. From a consumers perspective, it might be interesting to see how they do this. There are four main ways:

1. Drive the local cheer
2. User-generated content
3. Plaster the social wals
4. Omnichannels for maximum success
