Here's the problem: I need to do something to draw people in from the street at the new store. It's a rather small store in terms of square footage, but here's my plan for right now.
On a Saturday in late March:
- Have a bluegrass band play in front of the store
- Have a chef come in and do a salad demo and then have specials on salad plants.
- Offer a gift bag free to every 10th customer
- Give away soil, seed and fertilizer samples
For the week before that Saturday
- Create some co-op advertising with local businesses for opening week giveaways
- Create Bag stuffers and have lots of balloons, banners
- Community sponsorship event. We will sponsor a local school garden and try to take advantage of PR it will create.
- Some newspaper advertising and direct mail
I'd still like to see something that really, truly draws people right off the street ... any other suggestions?? I feel like these ideas are slightly boring.
Thanks!
