Step 2. Evaluate And Brainstorm Now that you have a collection of ideas to brainstorm from, you can go back and evaluate each one. As you evaluate past promotional ideas, pay attention to why they drove traffic to your business. Also evaluate what did not work so that you don make those same mistakes a second time. Sometimes your best promotion ideas fail simply because they were held on the wrong day or the wrong month. With a little adjusting it could be a winner the second time around. To be successful in retail you must plan promotional events far in advance. Plan to implement a MINIMUM of six promotions per year,isabel marant sneaker. That is minimum! When I had my retail stores I was implementing some type of promotional event every month. This is easy when you have a strategic plan in place. You must keep reminding customers to come back to your store. The number one reason why customers don return to you time and time again is because you allow them to FORGET about you. Keep reminding them and get them excited about shopping at your store more often. Step 4,isabel marant outlet. Involve Your Team After you have outlined your promotional ideas for the year, hold a staff meeting to discuss them. Share your ideas on a large calendar board and let your team know that you are PLANNING for success. Ask your staff to share their creative ideas too. Set sales goals for each promotion and offer a bonus reward to each salesperson that reaches their goals. Once your team buys into your promotional plans,giuseppe zanotti shoes, they will BUY into SELLING more customers on attending too. Plan to have enough staff on hand to make the event run effectively. Step 5. Plan Out The Details Evaluate your best promotional days and months. Select days and months that you drive the most traffic to your store. Plan out all the details of the event. Leave nothing to chance. The more you plan out the details and systemize your events,authentic roger vivier shoes, the easier and more successful they will be. Step 6. Reserve And Design Advertising Plan your advertising and direct mail well in advance. Build excitement for the event by featuring the benefits of attending. Create a call to ACTION. Tell your customers WHAT,Roger vivier, WHERE, WHEN and WHY. Offer short deadlines,roger vivier online, powerful offers and guarantees with teeth. Step 7. Contact The Media If you are putting on a charity event, contact the media well in advance. Send a press release about the event and ask the media to attend. Tell them how your event will benefit the community or share details about a cause. Take your own photos at the event as well and send them along with a follow up press release. Example: When collecting used clothing donations from my customers,isabel marant sneakers sale, I offered them a discount for each item of clothing they brought into the store. The event was so successful that we had a truckload of clothes to donate to the battered women shelter. We took photos of the staff loading the truck. The press release and photos rewarded us with tons of FREE media exposure for months after the event. Step 8,isabel marant. Create Attention Getting Direct Mail Spend 50 percent of your time writing a GREAT headline that is BENEFIT RICH,Roger vivier uk. You must HOOK their attention quickly before your direct mail gets trashed. Make your offer and event so exciting that it triggers a FEAR OF LOSS in the customer mind. Allow them to think about what they will be missing if they don attend. Step 9,isabel marant shoes. Develop Promotions Based Around A Theme If you want to stand out from the competition,Roger vivier outlet, you must be DIFFERENT. The more you conform to be like everyone else, the less successful you will be. Create fun events around unique holidays. Promote when your competition is not promoting. Your event does not have to be a SALE. There are lots of ways to promote without giving the store away. Make your events so much fun that your customers promote you back with word of mouth advertising. Example: One month I created an oriental themed event. During the three-day event,roger vivier shoes australia, I served Chinese food for lunch and decorated the store according to our theme. A huge bowl of fortune cookies was placed on the counter. Each contained a free gift or discount fortune. The direct mail invitation was sent out in an oriental cloth purse to our entire database. It was fun to see our customers carrying around that little cloth purse months after the event. Step 10,giuseppe zanotti pumps.
