create a “gift genius”

you and your staff know your offerings really well—so why not make your knowledge official? set up a “gift genius” program—perhaps in a dedicated area of your store—where you or your staff make yourself available to advise your customers on the hard-to-shop-for uncles, mother-in-laws, or persnickety friends on their list. to be even more comprehensive, and to continue to build up your local community, think of recruiting your neighboring local businesses to join in. you can recommend each other’s products and services when nothing in your business quite fits—sharing the love, and keeping your customers delighted.

try: has your mother-in-law got you stumped this gift-giving season? pay a visit to our gift genius, who can help you please the trickiest on your list. plus, when you take our suggestion, you’ll receive 20% off your next purchase!

celebrate boxing day

did you know that in the uk (and elsewhere in the commonwealth), boxing day is as big a shopping holiday as black friday? falling on the 26th of december, boxing day was originally celebrated as a way to give thanks to the servicepeople, like trash collectors and mail carriers, for a job well done. why not bring the celebration stateside?

try: what is boxing day? come in on dec 26th to find out—and enjoy 15% off storewide.

keep giving back

the holidays offer so many ways to spread the spirit throughout your community, and especially those in need. consider committing to donating a portion of your proceeds to a local organization you feel passionate about, or, go national: as many communities struggle to recover and rebuild from recent natural disasters, donations continue to create a life-changing impact.

try: this holiday season, let’s help out our neighbors. for the next week, 10% of your purchase goes to helping santa rosa get back on its feet.
