This - Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday is the perfect opportunity to show your customers just how much local businesses like yours have to offer. It’s easy to tap into this annual event, which encourages communities to shop small and support their local economy.
Whilst it’s only a few days away, it’s not too late — we’ve got everything you need to make the most of it!
What’s included:
Why your business should get involved!
What it’s all about and how it can benefit your business
Whilst you, everyone here at Westflor, and most small businesses recognise the essential role small independent businesses play in our communities, Small Business Saturday is a great opportunity to highlight this for your customers—whether they need a reminder or are learning it for the first time.
Small businesses, and more specifically your business, can offer so much more than the big retailers. It’s time to remind everyone in your local area why they’ll love shopping with you—your personal touch, stunning floral designs, expert advice, and the ideal Christmas gifts for their friends and family.
Use this day to actively encourage your customers and others in the local community to shop with you and choose local. It’s a fantastic way to gain new loyal customers who might not have discovered you otherwise.
We’ve made it really easy for you…
We know you’re busy, so we’ve created 3 eye-catching posters and 3 social media graphics ready for you to use. Simply download them, display them in your shop, and post them on your social media channels.
These materials are designed to grab attention, spark conversations, and encourage your customers to spread the word. Ask them to share your posts, or if you prefer, encourage them to support small businesses more generally.
This campaign is also an opportunity to rally your entire local business community. Feel free to share these promotional materials with other small businesses—the more businesses involved, the bigger the impact! Join local groups or connect with fellow florists to spread the message further.
A little shout-out or #Westflor tag would be nice, but it’s not essential. The real focus is on helping your business get recognised!
