What is the best way to get your business noticed this summer?

Run a Seasonal Promotion

Since the Summer season is huge for retail, and you will have a lot of competition, you need to stand out from the crowd and promote your business. One of the best ways to do this is to offer a summer promotion. Whether it is a special on some rock, BBQ and beach essentials or perhaps bulk buy on umbrellas (which is most likely let’s be honest) you need to be able to shout about it. Putting on a promotion is brilliant to encourage purchasing when people are in your shop or visiting your site but you need to get them there in the first place.

Here are some tips for getting them there.

 

Collect e-mail addresses and send out e-mail newsletters

Perfect for directly targeting your existing customers and shouting about your latest promotion. Regular customers like to be treated the same as new customers. If you don’t have a database of customers already now is there perfect time to start with the increase in customers from the Summer season. Why not run a competition to encourage people to leave their details. Direct email marketing is a cost effective way of increasing your sales.

 

Think Big

Sending emails to your customers is perfect but what about the customers you don’t have yet. We suggest, THINK BIG! Banner and flag printing is always on trend and really catches the eye. Banner printing is a cost effective solution for advertising your latest promotion. We are able to produce banners in any custom size and they are fully waterproof so they can be left out 24/7. If you don’t have room for a banner then have you thought about a feather flag? They are again perfect for making sure the passing trade notices your business. They come in a range of shapes and sizes, so we can help choose the best solution for you, they also have a range of bases for every situation.

 

Get noticed or featured in the local news
