How to Incorporate Grandparents’ Day into Your Home Business
September 8, 2007 by Mary Emma Allen
Sunday, September 9 commemmorates National Grandparents’ Day. Have you somehow incorporated this into your Home Business?
*Simply place a sign or picture in your shop reminding customers to remember and appreciate their grandparents
*Mention it on your blog, either as a reminder to customers, an story about your grandparents, or something that tells about grandparents in general.
*Run a special promotion which can flow over into Monday if you’re closed on Sunday. This doesn’t have to be a commercial promotion…simply ask customers to share how they remembered their grandparents, invite them to bring their grandparents in for a gift or a cup of tea, etc.
*Post a “What grandparents mean to me” and ask your customers to add to it.
*Remember your own grandparents and do something special for them. Or “adopt” grandparents if yours are no longer living.
This also is an example of how you can incorporate holidays and special days into your home business thinking. Sometimes they’ll involve special sales and commercial promotions. Other times you’ll simply remember the occasion and get your customers to share how they’re celebrating. Perhaps you’ll even run a contest when they share.
What are some of your holiday and commemorative day celebrations?
