Give people a reason to shop with you this Christmas
Christmas is approaching, and there’s already plenty to do. Finding time to promote your business can easily slip down the list.
This practical, two-hour workshop will help you choose a few achievable ways to get noticed and encourage more people through your door during the Christmas shopping season.
We’ll focus on things you can do with the time and budget you have, from making your Christmas offer clear to connecting what people see online with what’s happening in your business.
What we’ll cover
- Give people a reason to visit: highlight gifts, products, services or experiences that make Christmas shopping easier.
- Get noticed locally: use your shopfront, social media and online business information to show what’s available.
- Make promotions work for your business: explore bundles, gift vouchers and other ideas that don’t rely on discounting everything.
- Work with your neighbours: consider simple ways to recommend each other and encourage people to explore nearby businesses.
You’ll work on a short Christmas promotion plan, with three practical actions to prioritise before the festive rush.
Who is it for?
Particularly useful for shops, cafés, salons and other high street businesses looking to attract Christmas customers. Anyone interested in the topic is welcome.
