The Holidays are Here! How to Increase Sales and Customers During The Holiday Season

The holidays are an important time for any business, big or small.  It is a bustling time of increased sales, and profit.  Many businesses are using simple tools to increase sales and customers. A strategically placed cookie tray can keep your company fresh in the minds of customers. A nice cheese platter is a perfect conversation starter between your customer and all her friends!

Most companies can depend on an increased volume of sales during the holidays.  For many shoppers entering the door, it is their first time visiting your company, and first impressions are most important.  Turn the casual holiday shopper into a recurring customer by setting yourself apart from other stores. A festive cookie tray placed at the counter shows a high level of customer service.  Expecting long lines?  An assortment of  Party Platters - preferably finger foods –  placed along the line keep your customers occupied and content.  Not only does it keep waiting customers happy, it allows you’re to spend a bit more time with each customer, ensuring they have had a great shopping experience… Providing a unique, pleasant shopping experience is the best way to keep and build customers.

Another wise strategy for increasing sales is to send a gift basket to your top customers.  Even the smallest of gifts makes a big impression, especially when not expected!  Holiday goodies create a feeling of warmth and comfort: great qualities for a store to be remembered for. If you are a small business, start with your top 5 customers, and work to increase it each year.   For a high quality, affordable gift, try Ingallina’s Box Lunch.  Prices start under $20 and delivery is free throughout the Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles area, with low minimum orders.  Their Party Platters and Box Lunches are a bargain, too!

Encourage early risers by providing breakfast items such as pastries, bagels, and fruit.  Breakfast items are usually a bit more cost effective, and early shopping spreads the customers into more manageable crowds throughout the day.

Increasing your sales does not have to cost you thousands. Having simple cookies and appetizers available in your store not only creates a place of warmth and comfort that will be revisited again and again!

Are you ready for Halloween with Delicious Cookies and lots of gifts?

The Holidays are a great time to solidify relationships between businesses and their customers, vendors, and other important business associates.  It is often a challenge to make one’s self stand out in the midst of all of the gift giving, celebrations, and general hustle and bustle of the season.  Perhaps this is the cause of the recent increase of Halloween gift giving! 

Halloween is fast becoming the kick-off of the holiday season.  It is a time of fun and cheer before the stress of Christmas begins.  Many are using this opportunity to share with those important to their success by sending goodies, party platters, box lunches, and other delicious treats.

If looking for something a bit more substantial, Evan, a Customer Specialist at Ingallina’s Box Lunch, suggests a sandwich platter paired with a salad bowl or another flavorful accompaniment. “The Caprese Tray is one of the most popular here in the office.  They go pretty fast.” Another smart option is to send breakfast trays.  They will be enjoyed first thing in the morning and usually cost a bit less per person.
