Using Technology to Strengthen Local Business
Technology is no longer something reserved for big companies in big cities.
Here are actionable examples for implementing the steps mentioned in the blog “Creating Irresistible Festive Offers and Promotions”.
No time to wait we are already in mid-October.

Tech Gadget Bundle: If you sell electronics, create a bundle with a smartphone, headphones, and a protective case at a discounted price.
Beauty Makeover Bundle: For a cosmetics store, bundle skincare products, makeup, and brushes for a complete festive makeover.
Kitchen Essentials Bundle: Offer a bundle of kitchen appliances, cookware, and utensils for customers preparing festive meals.
Flash Sale Days: Dedicate specific days (e.g., "Festive Fridays") with deep discounts on select items, encouraging customers to shop on those days.
Start with a higher discount and gradually reduce it as the festive season progresses. Use a countdown timer on your website to create urgency.
Free Festive Tote Bag: Offer a stylish reusable tote bag with a minimum purchase of a certain amount, featuring your store's logo and a festive design.
Provide free gift-wrapping services for purchases above a specific threshold, making it convenient for customers during the festive season.
Early Access Membership: Create a festive VIP club for loyal customers, granting them early access to discounts, special offers, and a dedicated shopping event.
For every purchase during the festive season, loyal customers earn double or triple the usual loyalty points, redeemable for future discounts.
Ask customers to share their favourite festive recipes using your products, with a chance to win a gift card or a special discount.
Encourage customers to share photos of their festive decorations incorporating your products. Reward the most creative entries.
These ideas can be adapted to suit the specific products or services your retail store offers and the preferences of your target audience.
Remember to promote these offers through various channels, including social media, email marketing, and on your website, to maximize their impact.
