Some evergreen holiday strategies include: taking advantage of higher traffic, optimizing content for higher conversion rates; boosting PPC and SEO for better organic traffic; using email campaigns (which have higher conversion rates over the holidays); and remembering Green Monday—the second Monday in December—as an important day to make sure you have holiday sales or offerings for.
