What the Future Holds

As 2011 comes to a close,
you need to get a game plan for 2012


To get started, grab your 2011 calender and make a note of all the gift-giving holidays. Most calendars come with the standard US holidays, so you may need to research some of the non-standard holidays like Friendship Day. A search on Bing, Yahoo or Google can help you find these holidays.

Why Are Non-standard Holidays
Important For Sales?

As a shop owner, you need sales throughout the year, not just around Christmas or Valentine's Day. Striving to be more than just a once or twice a year gift shop will increase sales and stabilize your bottom line.

So How Do You Become An
Every Occasion Store?

By marketing gifts that are appropriate for any local holidays or special occasions, such as home comings, festivals, school events or community affairs. Don't forget the odd special occasion like National Oatmeal Month which occurs in January National Pet Month in May. Find any occasion that appeals to your customer base and works with your product mix, then Market,
Advertise, start ab online newsletter announcing new products.

Check Out The Trends For 2012

2011 trends need to be noted on your calender as well. Even if you want to use sticky notes, make sure you keep an eye on trends. You'll need to know these as you place your orders with your vendors. Early indicators for 2012 trends point to nature. Designers are drawing from nature, and that means you'll have customers looking for items with a natural or back to nature feel and vibe
