#5: HOST A "HAPPY HOUR"

... no, we don't mean drinks! Unless you run a bar or restaurant, then go ahead!
Good question! (picture from Cafepress)





We're talking about using the idea of a "Happy Hour" to boost sales for whatever your shop or company sells. Bars usually use it during the slow hours to attract customers; what if we used that idea for other businesses?


Think about it: for one hour on a given day, customers can come in and buy your product at a low price. Because the time is limited, they'll buy as much of it as they can. They might even bring a few friends!






You can play around with this idea, too. Give it a new name. Make it from a "Happy Hour" to a "5 Minute Frenzy" (or any other time limit). Hold it a special day of the month, or just every Monday after noon. Make it throughout the whole store, or just a certain type of product (like accessories in a boutique).


That's all I could think of, but I'm sure you've got some great ideas! Lemme know by posting a comment!
