Grand Opening Ideas For Small Retail Shop
We have just opened a very small retail shop which carries fine children's clothing, toys, and other gifts. Our main concern is how to attract new people to this shop, and for our grand opening, especially because we have an extremely small budget. Our main benefit is that we We are a sister company to a large swimming instructional school which is located right next door. We know that our main group of customers will be from the swim school, and we are already completely making use of that customer base. My main concern is getting new people in the door for our grand opening in a couple of weeks. We are going to be flyering cars with a small discount attatched and we are doing a pass along email to friends and family. The grand opening is going to be week long, and we are doing daily giveaways and a grand prize. But, we can't even afford a mailer right now. So, does anyone have any good ideas for attracting new customers to that type of establishment and/or grand opening ideas?
