I own a Scrapbooking store. I need customers ASAP. What should I do?
Out of money. Need more customers. Upgraded our products. Our Customer Service is tops. I have over 3500 people that have shopped here in the last two years. I get around 200 customers a month. Some new, most returning business. I’ve advertised and made coupons. Had a couple of Sidewalk Sales. Many in-store cropping events each month with marginal participation. I’ve been open for 2 years and 3 months. I’m located between a Riteaid and a Radio Shack. Some foot traffic but not much. Please Help!
When I did scrapbooking (back when I had the time).. I used to get the magazines and look at the state directory of scrapbook stores in the back. Perhaps you could try listing your store there.
Also, the one that I go to now when I do have the time has a Christmas time promotion- for each canned good you bring in to help in a food drive, you receive 5% off up to 4 cans.
Another idea is to have a card that you give them and stamp after every $10 dollars (or so) they spend. When they accumulate $100 dollars spent, they get a $10 gift certificate. At first you might want to make this a little more desirable for them and give them 20% instead of 10% and make it so they receive $20 off. It also depends on how much you mark up your merchandise.
Free-scrap nights are also great. They can either bring their own stuff from home or buy it at the store, but the big advantage for scrapbookers is that they can use your bigger equipment like the diecut machines, etc.
I was looking at other answers- they have a good point- a website is huge! I usually only shop at places that have a website so that I can get a better feel of what they might have in store. ITs ok if you dont have an online store at first, but over time, once you get more traffic, that would be a good idea too.
Goodluck to you!
