It’s the end of the year, and sometimes a little visual inspiration is just what your business needs.
Winter and holiday campaigns can end up taking on a life of their own. And not in a good way — in a hurry-up, “this is fine” sort of way.
Don’t wait for that first snowfall to get moving on your final campaigns.
It’s the perfect time to find premium stock images that really inspire you for the holidays and beyond. ’Tis the season, of course, but there’s so much more: close-of-calendar-year financials and successes to be celebrated, not to mention some serious business planning for 2019.
Putting the right images to work — today and into the new year
The end of the year is a great time to show gratitude to customers and colleagues, but it’s also an opportunity to connect. As personalization continues to be a huge factor in marketing, the right visual imagery is critical to creating that personal connection to your brand.
Begin by thinking about your end-of-year business goals, then think about how the right stock images can help you get there. Here are 5 ideas to get you started:

1. Set the right tone for business campaigns.
Don’t let that big end-of-year campaign fizzle out. Instead of relying on the same old visual support, build a collection of images that can breathe new life into your hard work. The imagery you choose can mean the difference between a successful and a lackluster campaign. Get started now, and promote your campaigns in new ways.

2. Keep your business adaptable.
When you can tap into an arsenal of high-quality, contemporary imagery that reflects the latest trends, your business can stay agile instead of reactionary. Don’t wait until January to get a fresh start. Dig in now so you’ll have a collection of modern visual support ready when you need it.

3. Reach a different target audience or market.
If your 2019 planning includes targeting a new audience segment, imagery can make a big difference. You could use images that feature that target audience in holiday correspondence or on a section of your website. Or, post a blog that tells a holiday story from a new global vantage point.

4. Spread a little warmth.
As temperatures drop, most people relish the idea of staying warm indoors, even if it’s just after a cold commute home. As your business eases into the new year, you can save time later by having a selection of images on the ready — all capturing the warmth and coziness of the season. Maybe it’s a warm fire, or a hot drink, and a good book.
5. Get the built-in asset protection you need.
One thing that may not be on your organization’s radar is the risk that can come with using unverified images. Get greater peace of mind when you can empower your creative users to find, edit, and license assets, knowing they will meet the critical licensing requirements of businesses.
