How QB Sports turns a Christmas giveaway into a mailing list

Mike Marcolin runs QB Sports, a bar and grill in Burlington, Ontario, and his marketing rule is simple: hook the promotion to something people already care about. When a big hockey game is on, he gives away a hockey jersey, because everyone in the room that night is a hockey fan and nearly all of them want it. He runs a promotion like that roughly once a month. Christmas is the same logic at full volume, and he has the Christmas dinner poster to go with it.

What makes it more than a free meal is what he collects. Entries go on printed forms handed over in person, because asking face to face works where a pop-up does not. By his count, 80 to 85 percent of people say yes when you ask them directly. Every order buys a second ballot, so the giveaway lifts food sales while it runs. The prizes sit around $50, which he treats as money well spent against what a single returning customer is worth over a year.

You can run yours the same way. Build the giveaway poster from Christmas templates and put the same design in the window, on social, and in the email. Then do the part most people skip: turn December’s entries into a list and keep it warm through the quiet months with email campaigns, two or three a month rather than a flood. Plan the run in the Content Planner before the season starts.

Everything you need to promote your business

Make a Christmas poster in minutes, not hours

Every Christmas poster template on PosterMyWall is already half-made. The snowflakes, twinkly lights, and festive fonts are in place, so you just add your words. Got a picture in your head instead? Describe it to Create with AI and get a design in seconds. Then swap colors, drop in a photo, or nudge things around until it feels right. Hot cocoa optional.

Spread some cheer with a merry Christmas poster

Sometimes a poster just needs to say hi. A merry Christmas poster in your shop window, a happy holidays poster in the office kitchen, or a happy Christmas poster on your front door does the job nicely. Add your logo, a short thank you to customers, or a family photo. It works for everyone who celebrates the season, whether you go full Santa or keep it winter-wonderland simple.

Pack the street with a Christmas event poster

Tree lighting, Christmas parade, light switch on, carols on Christmas Eve: if it's happening, it needs a poster. Our Christmas event poster templates leave room for the date, time, place, and the fun stuff, like free cocoa or a visit from Santa. Print a stack for local cafes, then use Resize to turn the same design into an Instagram story. One design, every corner of town.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Christmas poster for free?

You can make a Christmas poster for free on PosterMyWall by picking a template, adding your text and photos, and downloading it. Free downloads come in standard quality. You can also start from a prompt with Create with AI, then edit the design in the same editor.

What should I write on a Christmas poster?

Write a short greeting or headline first, like "Merry Christmas" or "Happy holidays," then add the details that matter. For an event, that means the date, time, place, and price. For a shop, add your hours or a holiday offer. Short lines read best from across a room.

What size should a Christmas poster be?

Most Christmas posters print at 11 x 17 inches, 18 x 24 inches, A3, or A4, depending on where they hang. Pick a size when you start on PosterMyWall, or switch later with Resize. Small sizes suit bulletin boards; larger ones work better for shop windows and event entrances.

Can I make a vintage holiday poster?

Yes, PosterMyWall has vintage and retro holiday templates with classic Santas, old-fashioned trees, and mid-century type. Pick one, add your own text, and adjust the colors to match your party or store. Vintage styles work well for holiday markets, cafes, and classic-themed parties.

Can AI design a Christmas poster for me?

Yes, Create with AI on PosterMyWall designs a Christmas poster from a short description. Type something like "cozy Christmas Eve carols, red and gold, Friday at 7 pm," and AI builds the layout. You can then change any text, image, or color in the editor.

Can I print my poster?

Yes, you can download your PosterMyWall design as a high-resolution PDF or image and print it at home or at a print shop. Use thicker paper or card stock for posters that hang outdoors or in windows. Check your printer settings so colors come out bright.

Can I make an animated holiday poster?

Yes, you can animate any PosterMyWall poster with effects like fade, rise, and slide. Download it as a video to play on digital screens, in-store displays, or social media. Animated posters catch more eyes on a feed than a still image, especially in a busy December.

Can I share my holiday poster on social media?

Yes, you can post your holiday poster to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest straight from PosterMyWall. The Social Publisher lets you schedule posts ahead of time, so your greetings and event posters go live on the right day, even during the busiest week of the year.

What are good Christmas poster ideas for school or work?

Good ideas for school or work include a winter break poster, a 12 days of Christmas countdown, a gingerbread house contest, and a holiday potluck sign-up. PosterMyWall has templates for each. Add your class, team, or office details and print them for hallways and break rooms.

Is PosterMyWall free to use?

Yes, PosterMyWall is free to start, with free templates and standard-quality downloads. PosterMyWall Premium adds unlimited high-quality downloads, the full set of AI tools, Brand Kits, and social scheduling. You can upgrade anytime from your account if you need more.
