Last-Minute Holiday Event

November 28, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Need a quick, inexpensive, community-minded holiday event in your shop?  How about

Cookies & Cans

Here’s how our local private museum publicizes theirs:

A great comminuty=mided holiday get-together for consignment & resale shops from TGtbT.com

The tree with food donations under it!If your shop is locally-oriented, this might be just the event for you: a nice way for people to get to know their neighbors,  a low-key opportunity to get folks in.

Plus there are a TON of ways to build on this event and its aftermath to increase goodwill year round… which we discuss in our holiday Product for the Professional Resaler.  Social media photos, web site testimonials, press releases, local recognition….

Need more holiday promotion ideas? You need Holidays in Resale. (And you get a surprise bonus-holiday how-to, too!)

PS The donate any left-over cookies to the local fire and police departments. How’s THAT for a glowing mention in the local “Businesses in the Spotlight” column?
