While industries like tourism and hospitality thrive over summer, many businesses face a slowdown after Christmas and New Year’s. Sound familiar? These five tips can help keep your revenue flowing.
1. Seasonal promotions
Extend offers beyond Christmas to capture keen summer shoppers. Post-holiday sales and exclusive discounts keep customers engaged and drive ongoing sales.
2. Promote gift cards
Gift cards are a quick win — they bring money in now and attract customers later in the year.
3. Offer summer bundles
Holiday or summer-themed bundles with matching products or services give your customers more bang for their buck and help boost your average sale.
4. Connect after Christmas
Have an email database? Schedule newsletters to go out once the Christmas craziness has settled to connect with your customers and increase sales during the quieter period.
5. Reward loyal customers
Show your appreciation with exclusive perks like discounts, free shipping, or early access to sales. These incentives encourage repeat business during the quiet months.
And if business is still slow, use the downtime to upskill your team or explore new tools and strategies that can position you for growth when things pick up.
