‘Tis the season again! The holidays are upon us. In just a few weeks we’ll celebrate the coming of a new year. What does your business look like around the holidays? For some business owners, this is a slower time of year. For others, it’s their busiest time of the year. No matter what’s happening in your business, it’s a great time to reflect on what’s most important. 

This time of year, you can spread holiday cheer and warmth through the images you post and send. Warm and uplifting visuals are an easy way to share holiday cheer with your customers and visitors. Every year, I try to add some festive holiday graphics to my blog posts, emails,  and social media posts.

 

May Your Images Be Merry and Bright!

Images are a great way to capture your visitor’s attention and stir emotions. In addition, sharing holiday graphics and images is a simple way to bring a smile to someone’s face. Put a festive photo on your website or marketing to make it look warm and inviting. Stock photo websites offer a wide variety of holiday graphics. Here are a few of my favorite stock photo sites with free holiday images that you can use.


Unsplash Holiday Graphics

Unsplash is still my top choice for free stock photos. Most of the photos on Unsplash look like they were taken by a professional photographer. Very crisp, clear, and classy! Photographers worldwide contribute photos that can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. No permission is needed.

Share the Spirit of Joy!

For many families and business owners, the holidays can be a stressful time of year. How can you be a light in this world? I believe we can let spread joy in simple ways. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Holiday images in your social media, emails, and website is a fun way to share the holiday cheer with others. As a business owner, it’s another way that you can connect with your audience on a personal level. 

Wishing you and your family, as well as your business, a wonderful holiday season and a new year.
