Retailers: Helping
One Another
I love the idea of cross promotions, where local shops in the same area help one another out. Ali Cat Toys in Carrboro, NC recently had one, which I loved.
It was simple and it worked. They made up flyers, and also posted it on social media. If you bought a Crocodile Creek backpack, you'd get a free slice of pizza from their local pizzeria.
This both increased business and sales at the toy store, while also bringing in new customers to the pizza restaurant. Cost of this was minimal for each.
Find a local restaurant or store that you would like to work with, and do cross promotions.
It's a win-win for everyone!
