10 Tips For Boosting Traffic During Your Retail Business' 'Off-Season'
Posted: May 1, 2019
The holidays are the busiest times of the year for retailers and customers, but in between those trademark holidays (Christmas, back to school, etc.), it can be more difficult to draw customers in.
Instead of letting your inventory pile up, consider creating your own “special events” for customers to add to their calendars. Below, 10 members of Forbes Communications Council share suggestions.
1. Host Special Experiences
Physical retail establishments still have one major advantage over e-commerce: the ability to create an all-sensory experience. Utilize your physical space to create an experience worth sharing. A clothing boutique could bring in a fashion stylist for an exclusive makeover event, a bookstore could bring in an author for a reading or a home decor store could do a painting class with a local artist. - Ryan Vet, boon, Inc.
2. Work With Influencers For A ‘Theme’ Holiday
Is it “National Best Friend Day”? What about “National Caffeine Day”? Unless you’re logged onto Instagram, who really knows? Influencers, however, love themed holidays. If you work together, you’ll be able to find the perfect pretext to develop an engaging branded event, even during the off-season. - Vivien Garnes, Upfluence Inc."
