Large retail store owners are able to reduce the prices of their products drastically and offer large sales to customers, especially during the holiday season.

It is practically important, this time of year, that these smaller business find a way to promote their products and bring the the customers.

There are a few things that the smaller business owner can do to reach out to customers and show then that their business is appreciated. Most of the ideas are extremely fun for both the customer and the business, while being relatively inexpensive.

To start with, try offering an early morning special. There are many things that you can do for the early morning customers that will make them feel appreciated and eager to spend money in your store. You can set out a table with coffee and bagels, offer a discount for shoppers during the first two hours of business and maybe even offer a promotional door prize for the first 20 customers. By doing this you are luring customers into your store, before they head out to shop anywhere else, therefore if they see a product on their list they will be tempted to purchase it in order to save themselves a stop during the day. This is a great way to increase your holiday sales and you will notice that people will be lined up outside your store before the doors even open.

Also, consider incentives to buy more. This can be done by using additional savings to those who have bought a lot or a great shopping bag or other promotional gift to those who spend upward of a certain dollar amount. These promotional items will not only encourage your customers to spend more, but they will travel around with your customers serving as a further advertisement for your business.

When you are planning your next company event, don’t forget the promotional giveaways, as this will let your employees know how much you appreciate the job they do. You don’t have to spend a fortune, give them something fun like custom printed stress toys, or promotional games and puzzles.
