4 Ways to Maximize Your Holiday Season
Wouldn't you love to have your store filled with eager shoppers during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Here are 4 ways to get more customers in your door this year (and make sure they have an AMAZING experience).
Decorate for the season.
Nothing gets shoppers in the right frame of mind better than festive decor! Start with your shop window to attract customers into your door, then continue the theme throughout your shop. Here are some tips to get you started! 

Skip the sales - add value instead!
Offering a personalized shopping experience such as  wish lists or a  complimentary gift wrap station  will give shoppers a reason to choose you over your competition.  Here are a few more ideas to consider. 

Don't just celebrate the "big" holidays. 
Stand out from all of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday hoopla by promoting Small Business Saturday (November 30), Giving Tuesday (December 3), or Boxing Day (December 26). 

Or, choose a quirkier holiday by consulting daysoftheyear.com, where you'll learn about fun days like World Kindness Day (November 13), Fibonacci Day (November 23), Poinsettia Day (December 12), or Ugly Christmas Sweater Day (December 20). 

Get the right people.
In addition to a higher volume of people walking through your door, some customers may be non-crafters shopping for the yarn lover on their list and need extra assistance. Here are some tips for hiring and training seasonal staff for your small business!
